When we say: "High pressure" or "Low pressure", this means the blood pressure of a person in millimeters of mercury, which is one of the main indicators of the general condition of the body. Indeed, thanks to him, blood circulation is ensured and, as a consequence, the implementation of metabolic processes. Two indicators are important for diagnosing the state of the body - systolic (upper) and diastolic (lower) pressure at the time of maximum contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle, respectively. It is the difference in pressure that leads to blood circulation in the human body. Normal considered indicators of 120 mm RT. Art. at 80 mmHg. Art. Pressure is usually measured by a tonometer on the arm from the shoulder to the elbow, since, exactly, at this point it corresponds to the arterial pressure in the aorta. Deviation from the norm, both in the direction of increase and decrease, indicates violations in the body. For example, high blood pressure may indicate diseases of the cardiovascular system.
For a more accurate preliminary diagnosis of the state of the body, doctors always consider several indicators, among them the pulse and temperature. For an average person, a normal pulse is considered to be a pulse from 60 to 80 beats per minute at rest, and body temperature - from 36.5 ° C to 37.2 ° C.
Low blood pressure and low heart rate , according to the medical terminology of bradycardia, is a sign of a hypotensive state. Hypotension can be at any age and be physiological in nature, associated with a hereditary predisposition, or indicate a pathology.
Low blood pressure and low heart rate with physiological hypotension do not affect a person’s well-being. Typically, such people live a full life, performing any physical and mental work, and learn about low blood pressure and heart rate only during a physical examination. Low pressure and low heart rate can occur when moving during the adaptation period, as well as in athletes as a physiological reaction after exertion. In these cases, the general condition of a person worsens slightly, but after a certain period, the indicators normalize, and the body begins to function normally.
In pathologies, low blood pressure and low heart rate are often accompanied by fainting and dizziness, weakness, drowsiness and fatigue, frequent headaches and motion sickness. In the event of the unexpected occurrence of such symptoms and their regular recurrence for a long time, you must definitely consult a doctor to diagnose the root cause. Low blood pressure and low heart rate, which occurred abruptly for no apparent reason, may be signs of acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, allergic reactions, or internal blood loss.
A protracted chronic condition may indicate disorders in the nervous and endocrine systems. Various endocrine disorders, for example, adrenal insufficiency, require immediate treatment, otherwise they can lead to irreversible pathological changes in the body. Also, this condition very often occurs in prolonged stressful situations, with depression and chronic lack of sleep. In this case, most likely, the help of a psychiatrist may be needed.
Low pressure and temperature during hypotension are also interrelated, since in a hypotonic state it can drop to 36 ° C or lower. This exacerbates the hypotension caused by any disease due to a decrease in the body's resistance. Before ascertaining the causes and diagnosing the disease, low blood pressure and temperature should be regularly increased with medication and folk remedies.
Frequent pulse, low pressure is a very dangerous combination, since blood pumping in this case is difficult and blood supply to various organs and parts of the body decreases. Therefore, if the bullets exceed 83 beats per minute, while the pressure remains low, you should immediately consult a doctor. Frequent pulse, low pressure can be symptoms of intoxication of the body, signs of anemic condition, respiratory failure and other pathologies.
Thus, at low pressure in combination with a low temperature and a deviation of the pulse from the norm, you must immediately contact a medical institution.
