1.What is hypotension?
Hypotension (hypotension)
Some doctors and patients regard it not as a disease, but as a condition. However, this condition reduces a person’s activity, endurance and efficiency. The main sign of hypotension is a decrease in blood pressure.
Systolic reading is below 100 mm Hg. Art. and diastolic, not reaching 60 mm Hg, are considered symptoms of hypotension. This is a long-term condition. It is customary to talk about a “tendency” to hypotension, since it invariably makes itself felt under certain conditions: weather, stress, exercise. A long-term decrease in blood pressure does not have a detrimental effect on the body and does not lead to such severe consequences as, for example, hypertension. But sometimes it interferes with leading a full life.

Review
Aglaya Lipina, 50 years old, St. Petersburg
Everyone says that with age, blood pressure increases, but for me, on the contrary, it’s low.
These were constant migraines, dizziness, sometimes I even fainted. I took pills and received treatment, but for a long time I could not improve my condition. Until I read a prescription for low blood pressure in one magazine. And you should definitely try: 2 tablespoons of St. John's wort, 2 tablespoons of rose hips, dried. Another 1 spoon of Eleutherococcus root. Pour the whole thing with boiling water in a half-liter thermos and leave for a couple of hours. You need to drink 100 grams three times a day. I drank for a month, as it was written in the recipe, and throughout this month I did not feel any symptoms at all! And the numbers have improved. And after two months have passed, the pressure is normal. I’ll take several courses a year and you’ll see, I’ll become a normal person, not a wreck.
General information about hypotension
Experts classify blood pressure indicators as low:
- for women – 96/60 units;
- for men – 106/65 units.
This level of blood pressure can affect the performance of internal organs and the brain. The problem is insufficient saturation of cells with oxygen, which provokes irreversible changes in all internal systems.
Hypotension occurs under the influence of certain factors:
- cardiovascular failure;
- disruption of the adrenal glands;
- allergic reactions at crisis level;
- severe bleeding in the gastrointestinal, renal, bladder;
- impaired metabolism;
- insufficient intake of B vitamins and ascorbic acid;
- dysfunctions of the central nervous system, stressful situations;
- infectious diseases, neuroses;
- unbalanced diet, refusal of regular exercise.
With congenital hypotension, reduced blood pressure values are physiological norms. Patients live normal lives and do not experience significant discomfort from their condition. In other cases, the pathological condition can develop in the form of attacks, against the background of excessive fatigue, sudden changes in weather, overexertion or excitement.
In isolated cases of blood pressure changes, you should not panic and self-medicate. If hypotension is associated with stress or unexpected events, then the body independently regulates the condition and does not require outside help.
