Hypotension arterial: a disease of 'strange'

In our time, total hypertension to people with low blood pressure is looked upon as strange, especially if they complain about their feature. However, some arterial hypotension delivers a life-threatening inconvenience. In general, from the term it is clear that we are talking about blood pressure. Reduced. This is the difference from most people for whom the problem is hypertension.

What is blood pressure? It is proportional to the strength with which the heart throws blood into the vessels. It is necessarily present at least at the minimum level in the living body, along with breathing and palpitation. Arterial hypotension, what is it? This is called reduced pressure: less than 100/60 (minimum for young), or 105/65 (permissible for those over 30 years old).

In practice, doctors distinguish between normal and pathological hypertension. Although sometimes it is not easy to distinguish one from another. Some people all the time have low blood pressure and feel good, as a rule, their profession is physical labor. Also, athletes are often at rest very low pressure, which is combined with a low heart rate. What is normal for them, as it is a form of adaptation of the body to loads. Usually, athletes do not complain about their well-being.

Sometimes this state is primary and secondary. And distinguish between acute and chronic. The latter is often called neurocirculatory dystonia.

Usually, primary hypotension is associated with disorders of the autonomic nervous system, abnormal functioning of the vasomotor centers in the brain. At the same time, the influence of the parasympathetic part of the ANS increases. The heart increases the amount of blood pushed out at a time, but this does not save the situation. The total volume of blood in the vessels is usually common, but sometimes we see an increased number of red blood cells against the background of a normal plasma volume. The cause of the primary disease is a constant psychoemotional tension, sometimes the disease will manifest after the psychotrauma suffered. Often we meet this condition as a symptom of a neurosis.

Symptoms with which the patient will come to the doctor, can vary very much. Complaints are made about weakness, abnormal sensitivity to touch, reduced efficiency, fatigue already in the morning, frustration.

Sometimes, complain of shortness of breath during a very light load or even a lack of air at rest. Also on the swelling of the hands and feet. Very many hypotension arterial! After all, there are still violations of libido in men and menstruation in women, pain in the stomach. The mood is lowered, the dream worsens, a person can easily lose his temper.

What is the difference between hypotension and arterial angina? Pain at the first appears at the top of the heart, nitroglycerin does not help, it lasts for hours, often if the day before the person experienced too much stress. Paradox, but mild physical exertion is able to remove the negative manifestations of hypotension.

Secondary hypotension is a symptom of other diseases, and therefore we confine ourselves to a discussion of the primary.

What if my hypotension is diagnosed? Treatment includes strict adherence to the regimen of the day. This means 8 hours of night sleep, no less. Gymnastics in the morning and at work, toning up water procedures. If the cause is neurosis, the symptoms will not pass without the help of a therapist. It is recommended to optimize the work process and rest on time, rather than wait for an exacerbation. You also need to eat at least every 4 hours, and the food should be nutritious. Hypotension arterial is often conquered simply by changing the way of life.

Of the drugs used eleutrokok in combination with valerian. Both can be bought without a prescription. Hypotension arterial will recede if you do not drop your hands. As you can see, there are usually no serious medicines required.
