Low Blood Diseases (hypotension)

Low blood diseases or hypotension (hypotension) is a condition where a person's blood pressure dropped below the normal rate, which reached a low value of 90/60 mmHg. Has been described in previous articles (high blood disease) that the person's normal blood pressure with height, weight, normal activity levels and general health is 120/80 mmHg.

However, some people may have a value of blood pressure (tension) ranges from 110/90 mmHg or even 100/80 mmHg but they do not / have not or rarely reveal few complaints means, so that it is perceived in ordinary daily activities. If the condition continues, supported by several factors that allow triggering a significant decrease in blood pressure such as sweat and urinate a lot but not drinking, lack of sleep or lack of rest (fatigue with excessive activity) as well as excessive menstrual bleeding (abnormal), the blood pressure will achieve a low threshold (hypotension) 90/60 mmHg.

� Signs and Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure

Someone who has low blood pressure generally will complain of dizziness circumstances, frequently yawn, vision sometimes felt less obvious (the firefly), especially after a long sit and walk, sweating, tired feeling powerless, even experienced recurrent fainting.

On examination the general rate / weak palpable pulse, the patient looked pale, this is due to the blood supply is not the maximum whole body tissue.

� Causes of Low Blood Diseases

There are several factors that led to why the decline in blood pressure monitor, this can be categorized as follows:

- Lack of blood pumping from the heart. The more blood that is pumped from the heart each minute (cardiac output, cardiac output), the higher the blood pressure. Someone who has a disorder / heart disease resulting abnormal heart rhythm, damage to or dysfunction of heart muscle, heart valve disease reduced the impact on blood pumping (cardiac output) throughout the organ.

- Volume (number) of blood is reduced. This can be caused by severe bleeding (wound tear, excessive menstrual / abnormal), which was quickly resolved diarrhea, excessive sweating, urination or excessive urination.

- The capacity of the blood vessels. Dilation of blood vessels (dilation) causes decreased blood pressure, it is usually as a result of septic shock, exposure to the heat, diarrhea, vasodilator drugs (nitrate, calcium inhibitors, ACE inhibitors).

� Handling and Treatment of Low Blood

There are several things you can do to improve the condition of lace in blood pressure (hypotension), including:

- Drinking water in considerable amounts of 8 to 10 glasses per day, an occasional cup of coffee in order to spur increased heart beat so that the blood pressure will increase

- Eat foods that contain adequate levels of salt

- Exercise regularly as it runs in the morning for 30 minutes, at least 3 times a week can help reduce the onset of symptoms

- In women who are advised to wear elastic stockings

- Provision of drugs (increased blood) occurs only when the perceived symptoms of hypotension really disturbing daily activities, other than that the doctor would only give vitamin (suport / placebo) as well as some suggestions that can be done for patients.

About the image that most people think that eating meat goat for people with hypotension may increase blood pressure monitor is actually not clear, however justified if it will increase the content of hemoglobin (Hb) in blood. Once again it must be understood that the low blood pressure that is not optimal blood supply to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin (Hb) is low means that the binder content of Hb as oxygen in the blood has low levels of consequences the patient may pale (anemia), dizziness (which are transported oxygen / blood supply to the brain is less), feel tired and so on.

In the case of hypotension that is really necessary to provide medicine, there is usually some kind of commonly used drugs such as fludrocortisone, midodrine, pyridostigmine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), caffeine and erythropoietin.
