How to increase heart pressure with medicines?

The diagnosis of hypotension has a huge number of people. It is not uncommon for heart pressure, often referred to as lower or diastolic pressure, to drop to around 60 mmHg, and sometimes even lower. People who have this condition are worried and ask a lot of questions, namely, they are interested in how diastolic pressure can be increased and what should be done for this.

Why does heart pressure drop?

Lower pressure, exactly what people call heart pressure, can be both low and high. Of course, it's good if it's normal. If the upper numbers on the tonometer screen are higher than normal against the background of low heart pressure, then this may indicate the presence of diseases associated with the cardiovascular system.

True, the doctor does not always evaluate the decrease in heart pressure as a condition close to the disease. The numbers on the tonometer screen may change with age. For example, in a young person, the norm of lower pressure is around 80 units, in middle-aged people this figure can reach 85 mm Hg. Art., and in older people the indicator of 90 units is close to the optimal value. In addition, a fluctuation within 5-10 units is not considered out of the ordinary and, as a rule, does not require treatment. Age fluctuations are a natural phenomenon.

Low diastolic pressure numbers - 60 mm Hg. Art. and lower with signs of drowsiness, fatigue, decreased performance, trembling of the limbs and conditions close to fainting can indicate various diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract, or a lung disease, namely tuberculosis. However, most often, low heart pressure indicates malfunctions in the circulatory system, as well as impaired renal function.

If a person has a problem with heart pressure, then he should think about long-term therapy that can help bring the numbers on the device screen to normal values. It is always better to consult a doctor to get the necessary treatment, as well as to choose a complex of drugs used in adjunctive therapy. You can always discuss with the doctor such issues as drug therapy, informal methods of treatment, the dietary aspect, and so on.

Dosage forms of drugs for low heart pressure

Tablets or other forms of intensive drugs are prescribed by the doctor only if the problem cannot be solved in another way and requires urgent treatment in this way. If the doctor does not consider the patient's condition critical, then he will always select treatment with gentle drugs.

Below is a list of drugs and a brief description of contraindications:

• Tablets called "Geptamil", a drug that can increase diastolic pressure. In addition, this remedy is effective, harmless and has a positive effect on the functioning of blood vessels and the heart. Heptamil activates blood flow, stabilizes the work of the heart. The drug is used for fainting, occurring spontaneously, in conditions close to shock, as well as for cardiac disorders, heart attack, or in case of exceeding the dosage of neuroleptic drugs.
• If the patient has fainting, and quite often or constantly dizzy, while there is a disorder of visual ability against the background of insufficient supply of oxygen to the cerebral vessels, then he is prescribed tablets with the name "Fludrocortisone". Taking the drug can lead to an imbalance in the body, namely, disrupt salt metabolism.
• With complications in the vascular system and severe disorders of vascular tone, Desoxycorticosterone is prescribed. This drug belongs to the drugs of a potent nature. If the patient is forced to take the pills for a long time, then side effects, namely swelling, are not excluded. Edema occurs due to the fact that the drug adversely affects the function of the genitourinary system.
• "Niketamide" - a remedy that is prescribed if you want to increase lower pressure. The drug is available as a solution for injection or as a solution used orally (drops). Before use, you must read the instructions. The drug is devoid of side effects, and also has no age restrictions.

• The drug "Dopamine" - a tool that leads to the tone of the vessels located on the periphery, back to normal. Pharmacological form - drops and injections for intravenous administration. Dopamine has been found to have an adverse effect on kidney function.
• "Epinephrine" - tablets that are prescribed if you need to quickly increase diastolic pressure. The drug has a vasoconstrictive effect. Indications for use - postoperative shock, disorders associated with kidney function, heart disease, poisoning with potent drugs. Contraindications: the drug should not be taken during pregnancy and lactation.

In addition to the listed forms of medications, patients are often prescribed treatment with drugs based on herbal ingredients. More on this later.

If you take the drug according to the attached instructions, you can eliminate the symptoms that are characteristic of people with low heart pressure, as well as stabilize the patient's condition. Ginseng tincture should not be used during the period of bearing and breastfeeding a child, in children under 12 years of age, as well as in persons with increased nervous excitability and a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of a pronounced nature.
• A remedy that has a tonic effect, as well as a tonic effect, is called lemongrass tincture, which can be purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription. The drug should be taken after reading the instructions and preferably with the permission of a doctor, because an overdose can lead to heart palpitations, nervous overexcitation and cause insomnia.

• Another natural remedy is Pantocrine. This drug affects the nervous system, brain vessels, as a result of this effect, the potential for mental activity increases and efficiency increases.
• A popular remedy for people suffering from low heart pressure is caffeine, but this substance is undesirable for various diseases associated with cardiovascular activity.

The listed group of drugs has positively proven itself in the treatment and prevention of hypotension. Doctors recommend taking these drugs together with medications as auxiliary components.

Hypotension patients should remember that they are recommended to start their day with a portion of an invigorating drink - natural strong coffee or a cup of fragrant black tea. And hypotensive patients should refrain from drinking green tea, as this drink can reduce pressure indicators. But such people can not limit themselves in the water drinking regime. After all, as you know, a large amount of fluid increases blood volume, and, therefore, pressure indicators grow from this.
