If you feel bad, feel a headache, mild nausea and dizziness, it is possible that there is an arterial hypotension or hypotension. In this case, it is necessary to understand the reasons why the pressure is lowered.
Causes of lowered lower pressure
Diastolic, otherwise, the lower pressure is largely determined by the state of the vascular network. Deterioration of the elasticity of blood vessels is one of the main causes of a decrease in diastolic pressure. In addition, a decrease in the indicator can result in:
- disorders in the work of the heart muscle;
- imbalance of hormonal substances;
- infectious processes;
- peptic ulcer;
- the inability of the kidneys to produce the amount of renin necessary for the body responsible for the volume of the liquid;
- unusual climatic conditions;
- anemia;
- severe blood loss;
- congenital hypotension;
- propensity to depressive state;
- the consequences of the stress experienced;
- anorexia ;
- reception of some pharmacological drugs.
Revealing the cause of constantly lowered diastolic pressure is necessary, since in some cases such a state can lead to irreversible changes in the work of individual organs and whole systems and even to coma.
Reasons for lowering the upper pressure
Systolic, upper, pressure is determined by the contraction of the heart muscle. Therefore, in the first place with a decrease in blood pressure, heart pathology and blood vessels are suspected. In addition, the causes of low blood pressure are:
- endocrinological problems, leading to a decrease in the tone of arterial vessels;
- dehydration due to heat stroke, excessive physical exertion, infection and pregnancy;
- severe blood loss;
- meteorological dependence ;
- osteochondrosis of cervical department;
- anemia;
- genetic factor;
- taking drugs that reduce the elasticity of the vascular walls.
When should we look for the cause of frequent pressure loss?
Usually in an adult human hypotension is diagnosed in the case of a decrease in the indices to 100/60 mm. gt; Art. However, in many respects these values are determined by the individual feature of the organism. One-time drop is often due to bad mood or weather change. There are people for whom reduced rates are considered the norm, and they feel great, even if the value of pressure falls below the official figures. Hypotension can be inherited and in this case does not lead to an uncomfortable condition.
In the case of values below the usual ones for you personally, you need to undergo a survey. In this case, attention should be paid to the accompanying pathology signs to identify the disease that caused hypotension.
It is worth noting that the reduction in pressure, if it does not reach critical marks, is not a clear danger in itself. However, do not neglect such a signal, even if hypotension is a familiar condition for you and does not bring any discomfort.
The fact is that the body is constantly trying to equalize the pressure, bring it to normal. The process takes place imperceptibly for a person and lasts for many years. As a result, a person often becomes a hypertensive person, which affects the condition of the body much worse.
Therefore, in the case of often low pressure, it is necessary to find out the reason why this occurs. Having identified a provoking factor, you can not only get rid of the existing pathology and even out the pressure, but also protect yourself from the development of serious complications in the future.
