Table of Contents
1. Causes and types of hypotension
Maintaining low blood pressure can be triggered by a variety of mechanisms. very often accompanied by Alzheimer's disease, dementia, depression and Down syndrome. In some rare cases, hypotension can also occur as a result of decreasing blood activity in the body, such as in the blood of a parent's blood vessels or in the brain of a pregnant woman. It can also cause a decrease in blood pressure between the mother's breast and the baby's body.2. Symptoms of hypotension
Compared to high blood pressure, which can run without symptoms for a long time, hypotonia most often presents many symptoms that impede daily functioning. Among the diseases that often accompany low blood pressure are, above all, dizziness and rapid fatigue. In daily medical practice, these symptoms are the basis for checking blood pressure. Hypotonia very often causes increased sleepiness and weakness that often results in fainting.3. Treatment of hypotension
Low blood pressure is not an indication of appropriate treatment. Additionally, physical activity should be increased. However, a person with low blood pressure may not be overly active, as hypotension may be reduced. Blood pressure may also be involved in increasing blood pressure receptors during the night, decreasing blood pressure in the upper half of the body by about 20 degrees, using diuretics or other therapeutic agents.4. Diet with hypotension
An appropriate diet is one of the non-pharmacological elements of the treatment of low blood pressure. It will also be helpful to eat smaller meals more frequently (a large amount of food taken in a short period of time may also induce the aforementioned hypothermia). It may also be useful to drink coffee, which increases blood pressure due to its caffeine content. It is also worth noting that higher levels of sodium in the diet can also be used.
