Arterial pressure is the most important indicator of the activity of the entire circulatory and cardiovascular system. It includes two items - lower and upper pressure. The normal interval between them is 50 indicators. If the permissible difference between upper and lower pressure is exceeded, the overall well-being of a person is significantly impaired.
Why is there a big difference between the pressure indicators?
The upper pressure indicates the force with which the heart muscle pushes blood into the arteries. Lower pressure is an indicator of the tone of the vascular system. It shows how hard they have to work, so that blood moves through the body. The big difference between the upper and lower pressure suggests that the suction tubes are too tense, and the heart pumps the blood fluid in a strengthened mode, that is, it works above the norm. This indicator is a threatening harbinger of serious diseases of the cardiovascular system, for example, a stroke or a heart attack .
Elevated upper pressure at the normal lower one is observed under severe stress and various emotional loads. Also, this condition often occurs after severe physical exhaustion. The difference in more than 50 indicators between upper and lower pressure often occurs in people suffering from:
- atherosclerosis ;
- tuberculosis;
- various diseases, negatively affecting the digestive tract.
In these cases, too, there is excessive drowsiness, dizziness and tremor of the extremities.
How to reduce the difference between indicators?
In order for the difference between upper and lower pressure not to exceed 60, several rules must be observed:
- Regularly take a contrast shower (helps to quickly normalize the circulation process).
- Do different gymnastic exercises at least 3 times a week.
- Sleep at least 10 hours a day.
- Exclude from the diet fried foods, coffee and very strong tea.
- Daily walk in the street.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages.
If such a deviation occurs due to physical or emotional overstrain, it is necessary to take any sedative. Maintain normal pressure and help with medicinal broths of gold, root, ginseng and elecampane.
Those who have a big difference emerged against the background of diseases, should be treated the underlying disease.
