3_ Causes of low blood pressure


Blood pressure is a measure of the pressure in the arteries during each physical exertion and the resting phase of each heartbeat, and blood pressure changes daily depending on body condition, respiratory rate, stress rate, physical condition, medications you take, as well as eating and drinking


Medical conditions that can cause low blood pressure include:

 



pregnant woman:

Because of the rapid expansion of blood circulation during pregnancy, blood pressure is likely to drop and appear normal, and after delivery blood pressure usually returns to its pre-pregnancy level.

 


heart problems

Certain heart conditions, such as heart valve problems, heart attacks, and heart failure, can cause low blood pressure.

 

Endocrine problems:

Such as thyroid disease, hypoglycemia and diabetes.


drought :

When the body loses more water than it takes in, it can cause dehydration, dizziness, fatigue, fever, vomiting, severe diarrhea, overuse of diuretics, and strenuous physical exercise.

  


blood loss:

For example, due to injury or internal bleeding, the loss of a large amount of blood reduces the amount of blood in the body, which leads to a sharp and dangerous drop in blood pressure.

 

Blood poisoning:

When an infection in the body enters the blood, it can cause a fatal drop in blood pressure, which is called septic shock.


Severe allergic reaction (hypersensitivity):

Common causes of a serious and life-threatening reaction include food, certain medications, and insect venom. Allergies can cause breathing problems, itching, a swollen throat, and dangerous and life-threatening low blood pressure.


 

Nutritional deficiencies in the diet:

A deficiency of vitamin B12 and folic acid prevents the body from producing enough red blood cells (anemia), which leads to low blood pressure.

 

Medicines that can cause low blood pressure:

Some medications may cause low blood pressure, including: diuretics, alpha blockers, beta blockers, Parkinson's disease medications, and some types of antidepressants.

 


4_ treatment of low blood pressure


Low blood pressure often does not require specific health care, and does not cause specific signs, symptoms, or causes.


Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the low blood pressure. For example, when the cause of low blood pressure is medications, treatment usually includes changing or stopping the medication, or reducing the dose.


Treatment focuses on the underlying cause of low blood pressure. For example, when the cause of medication is low blood pressure, treatment usually involves changing or stopping the medication or reducing doses.


If the cause of low blood pressure is not clear or there is no treatment, the goal is to raise blood pressure and reduce signs and symptoms. Depending on your age, health, and the type of hypotension you have, you can do this in several ways:


Reducing salt in eating:


Many medical professionals advise limiting salt intake in the diet because sodium can raise blood pressure, sometimes dramatically.


 Drink plenty of water:


Fluids increase blood volume and help prevent dehydration, both of which are important in treating low blood pressure.


Wearing elastic stockings:


Elastic stockings are commonly used to relieve pain and swollen varicose veins can help reduce blood pooling in your legs.


pharmaceutical:


 Use of some appropriate medications to treat low blood pressure while standing with the advice of a specialist.
