What does high low pressure mean?

In order to understand what a high bottom pressure is, you first need to understand the concepts. By measuring each time your pressure with a tonometer, you measure two parameters - upper and lower pressure (sometimes the pulse). The term "upper pressure" means the maximum pressure created when the heart contracts (in medicine - systolic). Under the concept of lower pressure is understood the minimum pressure that is observed during a pause between compressions (in medicine - diastolic). Measurement of pressure occurs by a method of removal of pressure from walls of vessels.

As already mentioned, there are norms of pressure. So, human pressure upper and lower has the norms of 120 mm Hg and 75 mm Hg respectively. The norm of the upper pressure for men is 115 ... 125 mm, for women - 110 ... 120. The norm of the lower pressure for men is 65 ... 80 mm, for women - 60 ... 75. In children these two parameters will be lower because of the undeveloped muscles of the heart. Naturally, the farther away from the heart, the pressure indicators will be lower. It is generally accepted to measure on the left forearm.

It is also important to understand what the lower pressure indicates, and what is the upper one. The upper pressure shows the ratio of the strength of the heart muscles to the vascular resistance. Resilience can include elasticity and throughput. The lower pressure shows how much the heart relaxes in the intervals between compression. If the examination shows that the pressure is higher than normal, then they talk about hypertension. If the pressure is low, then they talk about hypotension. It is important to note that no diagnosis is made on one pressure measurement. Here the dynamics of change or a constant value is important. If the person holds some time (several days) the pressure, different from the norm, then the examination is assigned.

The excess (decrease) relative to the norm of pressure of one boundary is also valid. For example, high lower pressure is also hypertension (with diastolic correction). At different times of the day in a healthy body, the pressure has different meanings. So, in the morning the pressure rises sharply due to the awakening of the body, in a dream - it falls down drastically. In addition, the pressure can be changed artificially by doing physical or mental exercises. Stresses and experiences also give a change, usually in the direction of increasing. Often, people of young and middle age "jumps" the pressure of both limits. But there are exceptions.

In some cases, the pressure may fluctuate only in the upper or lower range. How is this possible? Initially, the human body has a clear set-up in a given range. If a person has high lower pressure, this means that the heart can not relax until the end, which is fraught with prolonged fatigue. If this is a temporary phenomenon, the muscle mass of a healthy heart will increase, and the heart will be rebuilt to a new rhythm. Of course, this is a matter of time and the possibility of the organism (the issue of aging). In this case, the person will feel the fatigue of the headache. If the body can not afford such restructuring, the ventricular tissues will begin to degenerate (because the ventricles are muscle elements).

Lower pressure is a rather dangerous parameter. From its characteristics it is clear that its high value can provoke heart attacks or serious problems with the cardiovascular system. If, in case of an increase in the upper pressure, nervous overvoltages are evident, and when both borders are raised, there are problems with the vessels, then in the case where a high lower pressure is observed, there may be more reasons.

In order to normalize the pressure, you can use herbal decoctions:

1. Peony, hawthorn, motherwort is a pronounced psychopharmacological effect.

2. Thyme, a turn, a plantain - clearing of blood from indirect and harmful substances.

3. Black currant, mountain ash, wild rose - vitamins.

4. Apricots, cranberries, carrots - vitamins, minerals.

If you have low blood pressure, then it is easier to pick it up - chocolate, exercise, emotions and other means. It is more problematic to reduce high blood pressure. Of course, you can use the "method of all grandmothers" - Corvalolum, but there are folk recipes:

1. Wash and peeled horseradish (250 g.) Grate on a large grater. Pour all 3 liters of cold water and boil for about 20 minutes. Decoction drink 100 grams 3 times a day.

2. Lemon, honey (250 g), two glasses of beet and one and a half cranberry juice mixed with a glass of vodka. Take a tablespoon an hour before meals 3 times a day.

3. Juice from berries cranberries daily in a glass.

4. Two cups of cranberries and 3 tablespoons of sugar to mash and take daily for 1 hour before eating.

5. In a glass, pour a tablespoon of corn flour and pour hot water over the edge. Insist night and drink only liquid in the morning.

There are also many long-running and seasonal tinctures. They need to be prepared in advance, preparing for the period of life or season. In addition, there are pressure-reducing baths from various herbs (marigold, mint, fern) that will relax you and relieve high blood pressure. But nevertheless it is necessary to visit the doctor, as measures of traditional medicine are suitable for temporary lowering or for people suffering from chronic diseases.
