Increased pressure is familiar to everyone, someone is sick himself, someone has relatives or acquaintances. Every second adult sooner or later faces a similar problem. But the lowered is a rare phenomenon and is more common among young people and a small number of elderly people. A similar diagnosis, hypotension, is put at a pressure below the normal by 10-20 mm Hg. That is, the blood pressure of 100 to 60 , often found in adolescents and young people, is already hypotension. But in some cases, this is normal, in some - a dangerous symptom of serious health problems.
Symptoms of
People with this diagnosis rarely measure pressure and usually learn about its lowering by unpleasant symptoms: regular weakness, sudden dizziness, constant drowsiness, sharp trembling of the limbs, headache, darkening in the eyes, etc. Such patients feel bad in stuffy andclose premises, in the hot season, so summer and public transport - for them it is not the most pleasant.
Species and causes of
Hypotension can be acute( sudden pressure drop due to heart problems or incorrect intake of a certain class of drugs) or chronic( constant and without sudden changes).This happens with myocardial infarction, various problems with the operation of the SS, with a high dosage of drugs that reduce pressure after surgery or after a large loss of blood. In such cases, there will be a pressure of 100 to 60 or lower.
Hypotension is primary, it can be either a hereditary phenomenon( that is, low blood pressure - a normal condition) or a side effect of a lifestyle( often found in athletes for whom the physical load is normal) or secondary( is not a disease, but a formidable symptom of pathological processes in the body).For example, for teenagers and older youth, the pressure of 100 to 60 is the norm, the result is not up to the end of the formed SS and endocrine systems. Such pressure can persist throughout life. In these cases, there is no need for treatment, it is important only to further stimulate the body.
Treatment of
If a person first learned that his pressure is lower than all the others, and even more so if the pulse is also lowered, he needs to find out how much such a state is normal for him, and whether there is a more dangerous underlying cause of this condition.
For this it is worth to visit the hospital and conduct research. The visit will be much more effective if you monitor, measuring the pressure at home during the day( 3-4 times) for a week or more before coming to the doctor. Thus, it becomes clear how often the patient has a pressure of 100 to 60, whether it is lower or higher, in what cases and after what activity. Further, the doctor should find out the nature and type of activity of the patient, his lifestyle, nutrition, exclude problems with the work of internal organs( study of CAS, thyroid hormones, adrenal glands, etc.) and only then, based on all their data, prescribe treatment.
If it turns out that such indicators are the norm for this person, for example, the pressure is 100 to 65, he is prescribed an annual BP control and lifestyle adjustment. It is necessary to be active, play sports, nutrition should be balanced and full, more fresh air, normal working conditions, appropriate rest.
If the cause of such indicators of blood pressure are internal problems, naturally without the help of a cardiologist, neurologist and endocrinologist can not do. It is necessary to put in order the heart, blood vessels, hormonal parameters, the work of the kidneys.
But if after a normal performance there is a sharp pressure of 100 to 60 and lower , a person begins to lose consciousness, his state of health deteriorates rapidly, there is no time to think, time goes by minutes, you need to call an ambulance urgently to save his life. A fall below 80/50 or a sharp decrease in the upper or lower pressure is greater than 5-10 mm Hg.it is very dangerous, as blood supply of vital organs worsens, the brain can suffer especially badly.
In any case, not normalizing and improving the way of life is indispensable. The doctor will prescribe vitamin complexes, physiotherapy( acupuncture, stimulating procedures).Most likely, will be written out stimulant drugs - tincture of ginseng, eleutherococcus, decoctions of medicinal herbs that increase blood pressure.
