When talking about the problem of blood pressure, then most often they have in mind issues related to increasing pressure. But a huge part of people suffer from the opposite phenomenon - hypotension (low blood pressure), which women often suffer from.
How to treat low blood pressure? This is what we will talk about in this article.
Some time ago, hypotension was considered the norm, or, more correctly, a seminorm - a condition that does not require treatment. Fortunately for hypotonics, the situation has changed, and therefore it is now possible to cope with increased fatigue, dizziness, weakness and nausea.
So, the diagnosis is made - low blood pressure. Treatment primarily depends on what caused the development of hypotension. Therefore, the doctor will prescribe an examination, according to the results of which he can make a picture of the development of the disease and prescribe a treatment course.
Treatment can be medication and non-medication. The first group includes taking medications and visiting various procedures, the second includes home therapy or taking traditional medicine.
Low pressure. Medical treatment
Now there is an abundance of drugs aimed at increasing blood pressure. Well-proven "Gutron" or, for example, "Cortineff". But any of the drugs should be bought only on the recommendation of a doctor. The fact is that some of them can have a strong influence on other systems (in particular, “Cortineff” can complicate the work of the endocrine system), therefore only a doctor, evaluating the alleged benefits and harms based on your medical history, can prescribe one or another medicine .
In addition, drugs that contain succinic acid are very popular . They do not have a direct effect on pressure, but they stimulate the heart and increase vascular tone, which naturally normalizes pressure.
Low pressure. Treatment in the conditions of "home therapy"
It is with these uncomplicated methods that it is best to begin work on restoring normal blood pressure values. What are these methods?
Healthy sleep and regular rest;
A cup of coffee or tea (ideally green);
Active physical activity (sports, hardening, bathing procedures);
Breathing exercises based on the principle of normobaric hypoxytherapy (a procedure during which a patient inhales rarefied air through a special device, the oxygen content in it is below normal, which stimulates the body to adapt to such conditions). After a deep breath, exhale air from the lungs and hold your breath for 15 seconds. Repeat the exercise 15-20 times three times a day and notice a noticeable difference.
Acupressure on the acupuncture zones of zhen-chung (between the base of the nose and upper lip), yin-bye (on the big toe at the base of the nail bed from the side of the next finger), at the base of the nail on the little finger of the hand away from the ring finger.
Low pressure. Folk remedies
There are so many popular ways to increase blood pressure that this topic can be studied in a separate article. Here we mention the most famous.
In the treatment of low blood pressure, tinctures or decoctions of elecampane, St. John's wort, ephedra, tatarnik, lemongrass have worked well. Tincture of Manchu aralia (ginseng, eleutherococcus) stimulates the central nervous system and gently increase pressure.
A mixture of honey, lemon and dried apricots is widely known in the normalization of pressure. You need to cook it as follows: scrub the washed lemon (without seeds) and 400 grams of dried apricots through a meat grinder, combine with 3 tablespoons of liquid honey (buckwheat), mix. Take a tablespoon, before use (3-4 times a day, before meals), dilute the mixture with a tablespoon of low alcohol beer. The duration of treatment is one month.
A mixture to increase the pressure of the juice. Parsley juice (60 ml), spinach juice (90 ml), celery juice (150 ml) combine and mix. For a month, take 100 or 150 ml daily before meals (3-4 p.).
Ginseng tincture. Grind 80-100 grams of Manchurian aralia (dried roots), pour vodka (500 ml) and insist for a month in a dark and cool place, periodically shaking the composition. Take 20-40 drops twice a day, last using five hours before a night's sleep.
Immortelle Tincture. Pour 100 g of crushed raw materials with vodka (200 ml), insist for four days. Strain and take three times a day after meals in a tablespoon.
One caveat: it is not recommended to take drugs in the evening. In addition, despite the fact that herbal remedies perfectly use the reserve forces of the body, they are not able to completely replace drug therapy. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with low blood pressure, the treatment recommended by the doctor should (with his consent!) Be combined with non-drug methods of increasing the pressure.
