Causes and treatment of low and high diastolic pressure

High diastolic pressure (systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension) is when the indicator of the so-called lower pressure is higher than 60 mm Hg, respectively, if this figure is below normal, then the readings are considered low. Many probably know that when they measure pressure with a tonometer, they usually write down two numbers. The first number is the systolic pressure and the bottom number is the diastolic pressure. An experienced doctor, looking at the indicators of the tonometer, will immediately determine what treatment the patient will need.

We draw the attention of readers to the fact that further in the article the abbreviation "DD" - diastolic pressure, "BP" - blood pressure will be applied.

The reasons provoking a decrease in DD

It often happens that a person’s vascular tone decreases, this can manifest itself in different ways.

Some people feel dizzy, others tend to fall asleep all the time, and the third person, in general, can lose consciousness.

Although it often happens that, despite low blood pressure, a person feels normal, but if his lower pressure indicators reach normal levels or high diastolic pressure is observed, then the ailments are fully manifested.

Let's look at why a decrease in DD can be observed and what can lower blood pressure:

• The body loses a lot of moisture, that is, dehydration occurs. This occurs during diarrhea, with sun or heat stroke, as well as prolonged stay in a poorly ventilated room.
• Injuries of varying degrees with the loss of a large amount of blood - heavy periods, injuries received during labor, and others.
• Violation of the hormonal background.
• Exhausting diets, prolonged abstinence from food - starvation and so on. All this leads to exhaustion of the body, provokes a drop in DD.
• The presence of a serious infection in the body.
• Atherosclerotic vascular disease. The reasons lie in the weak tone of the walls of the arteries.
• A low level of hemoglobin in the blood is anemia.
• Long-term use of medications with a large list of side effects.
• Change of climatic conditions of residence.
• Cancer tumors (oncological diseases).

What should a person do to establish the true causes of hypotension? First you need to undergo an examination, take tests, and then discuss further treatment with your doctor.

How to treat the disease

Based on the results of the examination, the therapist prescribes the appropriate treatment for the patient. The main aim of the therapy is to bring the lower blood pressure reading back to normal, so that the person feels relief and also gets rid of the symptoms that low blood pressure causes.

By the way, it is experiences and excessive excitability that can often cause high diastolic pressure, and then it will be necessary to decide how to lower the level of the lower reading of blood pressure and how to make sure that isolated systolic-diastolic hypertension does not become a death sentence for a person. By the way, isolated systolic-diastolic hypertension is a serious disease that requires continuous therapeutic treatment, because only adequate treatment will help save the patient from vascular tension and the development of complications from the cardiovascular system.

Returning to the topic of the article, let's consider the question - what to do so that the lower reading stabilizes. First of all, you will have to do what the attending physician recommends. And he, as a rule, will ask the patient to reconsider the norms and rules of nutrition. The doctor will recommend enriching the table with foods with a high content of vitamins and minerals. It's no secret that the level of hemoglobin rises if a person eats properly. And when hemoglobin returns to normal, then the lower reading of blood pressure stabilizes.

Sometimes for a therapist to know that a patient has a low DD is not enough to establish a true diagnosis. In this case, it will be necessary to more accurately describe the picture of the symptoms (“flies” before the eyes, lethargy, dizziness, fainting, nausea, etc.). When the clinical picture is clear to the doctor, he can tell the patient why his pressure is dropping and what to do to bring it back to normal.

Hypotension can be cured by daily training of the vascular system, namely the walls of the vessels, which will strengthen them and thereby stabilize diastolic pressure. To increase vascular tone, one should harden, a contrast shower is especially useful, engage in feasible sports, improve sleep, take healing infusions and herbal decoctions. By the way, high diastolic pressure can also be reduced by such activities and procedures.

A wonderful remedy for the treatment of hypotension can be called ginseng root, Chinese magnolia vine, eleutherococcus.

If you take these herbal remedies for a long time, then the pressure usually rises to normal values ​​and the person feels strength in himself and feels great.

Stronger drugs should be prescribed only by a doctor.

If a low DD is diagnosed in an elderly person, the cause of which is often atherosclerotic deposits on the walls of blood vessels, then complex treatment will be offered.

In this case, the patient will be prescribed drugs that nourish the heart muscle, thin the blood and stabilize the cardiovascular system as a whole. Also, the doctor will prescribe drugs that dilate blood vessels to restore normal blood circulation. Among other things, dietary nutrition is prescribed to lower the level of so-called "bad" cholesterol in the blood.

You can simply increase low diastolic pressure with a cup of aromatic coffee with a piece of natural dark chocolate.

Also, people with low diastolic pressure should eat sauerkraut, fatty foods, nuts, vegetable and fruit juices.
