Constantly I want to sleep, you quickly get tired, you can not concentrate on work, do not get pleasure from life. In the old days, this condition was called a "dumbness" - this is when nothing can and does not always happen, we will overcome bad low blood pressure!
Family affairs
Many young ladies suffer from hypotension, but most of them consider low blood pressure their own peculiarity and do nothing to lift it, comforting themselves that in the lower something is not bad. Now, if it were increased - then another thing!
You really can not pay attention to your condition in the event that, despite the low figures that the tonometer shows, you feel cheerful and full of energy. In this case, we are talking about physiological hypotension - a variant of the norm that occurs, in the main, in athletes and those who live in the mountains and in the south - similarly the body adapts to low atmospheric pressure and heat. There are those who have inherited low blood pressure.
Your actions. Even if you are feeling well, measure the pressure twice - in the morning and in the evening at the same time before eating. Unfortunately, hypotension has an unpleasant property over the years to develop into hypertension, which initially does not manifest itself. You continue to think that you are in a hypotonic club, and when you feel weak, drink coffee and make lemongrass, and the pressure is already so high! Such errors can be costly.
Measuring correctly
The upper limit of bad low blood pressure is 140/90 (when measuring a house - 135/85), the lower limit is 100/60 mm Hg. Art. The tonometer is also necessary for hypotension because both the pressure and the pulse are unstable in this disease. The heart rhythm then slows down, then accelerates. Electronic tonometers have the ability to diagnose arrhythmia - if a pulsating heart appears on the screen, consult a doctor.
Your actions. Repeat the measurements in a calm state 3 times at intervals of 10 minutes on both hands in turn. To judge the magnitude of poor low blood pressure, you need the indicators that are closest to the norm: with a tendency to hypotension - at higher, to hypertension - at a lower. Another important point: the device with the function of automatic determination of the heart rate in the hypotonic will show tachycardia - an accelerated rhythm of the heart, although in fact the pulse can be normal (no more than 70 beats per minute). Simply, when the difference between the upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) pressure is minimal, the electronic tonometer does not have time to correctly calculate heart beats. So control the heart rate with a special electronic wristband or manually by stopwatch.
As an exception
If you are not a fan and not an athlete, and in your family, no one complained of low blood pressure, it means that it can not be a norm for you. Perhaps, you have bad blood vessels (neurocirculatory dystonia by hypotonic type), which affects 80% of hypotonic patients. But the reason may be in another, and it must be clarified.
Millimeters plus
Do you drink liters of strong tea and black coffee to increase the pressure? These are not the best ways to solve this problem! There are many others, more healthy and effective.
Eat often, but little by little. Do not overeat - the blood will pour off to the stomach and the pressure will drop even more.
Get enough sleep! If sleep is shorter than 8 hours, the pressure will tend to go down.
Do not jump in the morning at the bell of an alarm clock - your head may be dizzy. Do exercises in bed: stretch, turn by feet, twist 3 minutes of the pedal of an imaginary bicycle. And then slowly and slowly rise, dropping on the floor first one, and then the other leg.
Take a refreshing cool shower (32-34 ° C). A few minutes under his invigorating trickles - and you feel like a different person!
No rents and overtime - more rest! And not only after work, but also in the middle of the day. Close your eyes, relax and sit in an armchair for half an hour.
With a sudden decline in strength, dizziness, do the following: sitting on a chair, feet shoulder-width apart, arms crossed behind the head. Take a deep breath and a slow slope to your knees (as low as possible). Straighten, exhale sharply. Repeat 3 times.
Take 10-15 minutes salty baths (40 grams of sea salt per 1 liter of water (2-34 ° C) .The course - 12 procedures.
Herbs instead of coffee
To increase the pressure, take a tincture of herbs that increase pressure: eucommia vulgaris, Manchu aralia, ginseng root, zamanichi, eleutherococcus, leuzea, magnolia vine or rhodiola rosea. Put their leaves in tea and add them to salads.
Mix the St. John's wort, the roots of the rhodiola rosea, the lure of the tall, the cinnamon rosea, the leaves of the nettle, and the blood of the hawthorn blood-red (2: 4: 4: 3: 3).
Other combinations will tell the doctor.
How to cook? Pour a tablespoon of the collection of a glass of boiling water, leave in a thermos for 45 minutes, strain and squeeze.
Take a third or a quarter of a glass 2-3 times a day for 25-35 days. After 2 weeks, the course of herbal medicine can be repeated.
Fainting or pickled cucumber?
Heroines of the Western series, as a rule, guess about their pregnancy after a series of dizziness and fainting. In the domestic cinema, another tradition - we have the upcoming addition in the family symbolizes a suddenly awakened love for pickled cucumbers. Why - it is not clear: the distortion of taste is not found in all future mothers, and the head is spinning in this state in almost everyone's body. Therefore, the first thing to do when you learn that you will soon have a baby is to get a tonometer.
Of course, during your visits to the women's clinic the doctor will also check this figure, but even the most tranquil people experience stress in the polyclinic, which psychologists call the white coat syndrome.
If you are going to plan pregnancy, first understand with your poor low blood pressure: go for a complete examination, do a course of herbal medicine, go in for fitness, - in a word, do everything possible to make your pressure reach the lower limit of the norm - for the baby it is very important!
