Blood pressure as a diagnostic criterion is a very significant indicator. Often, only by a high or low level of blood pressure can we assume the presence of the disease. The most common disease caused by a violation of pressure regulation is arterial hypertension. The forms of an isolated increase in pressure are much more rare.
What does isolated overpressure mean? This is an increased lower pressure. At the same time, high values of the lower pressure do not correspond to the values of the upper. That is, the upper pressure may not increase or increase slightly.
What does lower pressure mean?
The second number when measuring pressure indicates the minimum level of pressure in the bloodstream. This level corresponds to relaxation of the ventricles and atrial systole. This pressure ensures the maintenance of a constant movement of blood along the bloodstream even with high resistance (with blood flow through small vessels - capillaries and venules, as well as with blood flow against its own gravity).
What is the danger of increased lower pressure?
The danger of high lower pressure is that most often it does not manifest itself, that is, the patient does not show any complaints. This aspect leads to the late detection of this pathology. The normal level of diastolic blood pressure should be within the range of seventy to eighty mm. Hg. Art. Due to the absence of any complaints, the disease manages to develop to a severe degree and acquire a lot of complications before an appropriate diagnosis is made.
What is the evidence of increased lower pressure?
Lower pressure is considered elevated if its level exceeds 80 mm. Hg. Art. Such an increase can be both acute (short-term) and chronic (caused by organic pathology). A short-term increase is observed with physical exertion, emotional stress, anxiety and stress. A fairly large number of diseases can lead to an increase in diastolic pressure. The most significant and widespread group is renal pathology. Almost all kidney diseases lead to a violation of pressure. This is due to the fact that the kidneys are one of the links in the regulation of blood pressure, in particular, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Thyroid pathology is also characterized by manifestations as a change in blood pressure.
Adipose tissue also plays a role in regulating pressure. Its action is based on the storage of hormones in adipose tissue. In this regard, there are frequent cases when elevated lower pressure is caused by the development of obesity. In addition, an increase in pressure can be caused by pathology of the spinal column - hernia and other things.
How to lower lower blood pressure?
Firstly, it is necessary to undergo a full course of examination in order to establish the cause that led to the development of high blood pressure. When establishing the etiology, the primary task is to cure the underlying disease. Most often (in seventy percent of cases), when the etiological factor is eliminated, the pressure normalizes independently. However, if the pressure has not returned to normal, complex therapy is carried out, which includes a diet, a healthy lifestyle and drug therapy.
The main principle of the antihypertensive diet is to reduce the salt load (this is necessary in order to remove the load from the kidneys and reduce water retention in the body).
Refusal of bad habits, such as alcohol and smoking also have a beneficial effect on the correction of blood pressure. Thus, the therapy of this type of arterial hypertension does not differ from the standard.
