yes if it is very low

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

If blood pressure is very low, like less than 90/60 then it can cause low oxygen delivery to tissues.

Low blood pressure may be because of anti blood pressure meds like lisinopril, heart disorders, infection, etc.

Hope this helps.
