Some of the Causes of Low Blood Pressure include:

Heart failure
Heart attack
Medications used for surgery
Anti-anxiety agents
Changes in heart rhythm ( arrhythmias )
Fainting
Anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic response)
Shock (from severe infection, stroke, anaphylaxis, major trauma, or heart attack)
Advanced diabetes
Alcohol

Some other causes are:

Dehydration and Bleeding:

Blood volume can be reduced as a result of dehydration, bleeding, or kidney disorders, which may result in lowering of blood pressure.

Diabetes :
Diabetes can also cause damage to the nerves supplying blood vessels and therefore be associated with a drop in pressure when standing up.

Increasing age:
As you get older, your arteries stiffen and are less supple and this may occasionally cause a fall in blood pressure when you stand.

Failure of the adrenal gland :
The adrenal glands produce important hormones, one of which is aldosterone. This hormone is very important in controlling the amount of salt in your body. If your adrenal glands become damaged this can mean that there is not enough aldosterone in your body. This leads to a loss of salt from your body and this may cause low blood pressure.
