Low pressure and how to deal with it.

Low blood pressure is a vascular pathology, which, according to the frequency of occurrence, is on par with arterial hypertension. Doctors from all over the world noticed that if earlier a breach of pressure was mainly a disease of the elderly, today it affects almost all population groups. Low blood pressure is diagnosed even in adolescents and children of primary school age, also in young and able-bodied people.

Why is low pressure dangerous? This question interests all people who have encountered this pathology. First of all, it should be noted that low blood pressure - the pathology of the organs of the cardiovascular system, which can occur suddenly in the form of crises. Accordingly, it is almost impossible to predict it. If the crisis catches unawares, a person can suddenly lose consciousness at the same time quite unsuccessfully (often patients are injured head and limbs).

While there is insufficient oxygen to the brain, a person can feel dizzy, weak. Sometimes there may be hot flashes and sweating or vice versa. Patients' skin becomes pale and cold. Instead of losing consciousness, patients may experience severe headache and dizziness, which are not stopped by conventional antispasmodics.

Low pressure is the hypoxia of all organs and systems, which manifests itself clinically as a violation of their work. With severe degrees of pressure reduction, it is possible to form severe renal failure, heart and brain.

People who first encounter this pathology are often lost and do not know how to help themselves and what to do. But those who already live with their illness for a while, are able to recognize the attack by the first signs and at the time of its dying.

Low pressure requires emergency assistance, especially when its critical numbers.

Low pressure: how to raise it at home?

1. The main thing is not to make it worse. You need to know exactly the mechanism of action of the drugs, so as not to lower the pressure even to lower figures.
2. First try using folk remedies, the best of them is coffee without sugar. Prepare a cup of freshly brewed coffee, take a comfortable position and relax.
3. Some patients notice a significant improvement in their well-being after a short sleep (just do not try to sleep after coffee).
4. Taking medications (they will be advised by the attending physician). Treatment with drugs is carried out in accordance with the cause of diseases, which is installed in the hospital.
5. If you can not stop the attack of low blood pressure yourself at home, then you need to call an ambulance and possibly get hospitalized.

The most severe complication of low pressure is a shock, which can lead to death. That is why all vascular pathology requires strict supervision and control.

Normalize the low pressure, which is caused not by acute pathology (for example, as a result of vascular insufficiency), it is possible and at home, and it needs adequate fluid intake and normalization of nutrition.

Also, a decrease in pressure is very dangerous due to the development of cardiac pathology and strokes. However, remember that it is not necessary to take uncontrolled pressure-boosting drugs, because too much pressure is also dangerous.

Patients with low blood pressure should change their way of life somewhat. It is more to walk in the fresh air, to eat a normal amount of fresh vegetables and fruits, meat and liver, and also seafood.

It should avoid fatigue and psycho-emotional overload, because it affects the vascular tone and the rheological properties of the blood.
