    What to do with high lower blood pressure?



    Quite often, people are faced with such a problem as increased diastolic pressure. Previously, this phenomenon was most often observed in people of the older age group, however, due to improper lifestyle and severe stress, this phenomenon is increasingly observed in representatives of other age groups. In this regard, it is especially important to know the main causes of an increase in lower blood pressure and methods for lowering it.

    Why is the pressure rising?

    Pressure measurement

    Most often, a significant increase in blood pressure is associated with disruption of the cardiovascular system.

    With a significant increase in the lower pressure, an increase in the upper limits is quite often observed, however, this does not happen in all cases.

    A significant increase in the lower BP by more than 15-20 units indicates the development of a serious pathology, such as isolated lower pressure. Answering the question why diastolic pressure rises, it is worth noting that there are quite a few reasons that affect its increase. As a rule, this phenomenon indicates serious malfunctions and impaired functioning of the body.

    adrenal glands

    Most often, the occurrence of such a pathology is associated with various diseases of the internal organs. In the initial stages of development, such ailments may not manifest themselves with other symptoms, but only affect a significant increase in blood pressure.

    Most often, this phenomenon means that the body develops:

    • Problems with the work of the adrenal glands.
    • Violations of the endocrine system.
    • Heart diseases.
    • Malignant tumors.
    Most often, high blood pressure is caused by malfunctions or problems in the functioning of the kidneys and hormonal changes. If these ailments are not accompanied by additional symptoms, then quite often they are ignored, which leads to various kinds of complications.

    However, such an indicator as high lower pressure does not always indicate the development of serious diseases. The reasons for its increase can be quite banal.

    For example, its increase may be influenced by such reasons as:

    Stress

    • Stress.
    • Alcohol consumption.
    • Taking medications that increase blood pressure.
    • Alcohol consumption.
    • Wrong nutrition.

    All these factors have a rather strong effect on the kidneys, which leads to a significant increase in pressure.

    That is why, if you have an increased lower blood pressure, you should immediately consult a doctor to determine the cause that provoked the increase.

    The danger of high blood pressure

    An indicator such as diastolic pressure shows the pressure of blood on the way to the heart muscle. Increased lower pressure does not indicate an increased work of the heart due to the influence of any changes, but the occurrence of any problems with the vessels or the circulatory system. The danger of this phenomenon lies in the fact that with an increase in this indicator, the entire vascular system is in tension, which leads to a decrease in the elasticity of blood vessels. A decrease in the functionality of blood vessels, in turn, can lead to the development of a stroke or heart attack.

    Atherosclerosis

    In addition, with poor performance of blood vessels, the blood does not fully cope with its function and does not bring oxygen to the internal organs. This has a negative effect not only on the organs, but also on the vessels themselves. Also, high lower pressure can provoke the development of such a disease as atherosclerosis. The occurrence of this disease is due to the fact that lipid-protein metabolism is disturbed in the vessels. The danger of the disease lies in the fact that during its development, cholesterol plaques form in the vessels, which can provoke blockage of the vessels.

    Features of treatment and prevention

    If this kind of problem arises, then the first thing to do is to urgently seek the advice of a specialist. The specialist, based on the cause that led to the increase in blood pressure, the state of the body and other factors, will determine the optimal treatment measures.

    With a sharp increase in blood pressure, the following measures should be taken:

    • Call a doctor.
    • Position the patient face down.
    • Apply ice to the neck.
    • Massage your neck.

    diet for pressure

    These measures will help stabilize the pressure and wait for the arrival of a specialist. It is worth noting that it takes at least 10 minutes to do a massage to lower blood pressure.

    As a rule, most experts recommend starting treatment with a revision of the daily regimen and dietary rules.

    First of all, it is recommended:

    • Avoid junk food.
    • Refuse to consume large amounts of sugar and salt.
    • Include fruits and vegetables in your diet.

    As for the daily routine, then, first of all, it is necessary to normalize sleep and rest. In addition, experts recommend going in for sports, if this is not possible, then you need to at least do exercises.

    It is also very useful for strengthening blood vessels:

    • Drink beetroot juice.
    • Take a decoction of motherwort.
    • Drink herbal tea.
