What causes low blood pressure in women?

Nowadays, many people know that women's bodies are not as good as men's. Women are also prone to low blood pressure. Experts say that the proportion of women with low blood pressure is higher than that of men. So what are the causes of low blood pressure in women? This is a concern for many female friends. Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction of experts below.

The main causes of low blood pressure in women are the following two causes:

One is the lack of fitness exercise. Many female patients with low blood pressure described that due to busy work and study, they seldom exercise every day, and their buttocks are always stuck to the chair all day long. Over time, the activity of blood vessels will decrease, and the response of blood vessels will gradually become worse. A simple squatting and standing up posture will make the blood vessels unable to respond for a while, and blood pressure cannot be easily restored.

The second is insufficient nutrients. Nowadays, material things are abundant and being full is no longer a big problem. However, in order to maintain their slim figure and reflect the skinny beauty, many girls in their twenties and twenties do not eat foods rich in fat and protein for a long time, resulting in insufficient nutrient supply to the body.

What are the actual causes of low blood pressure in women?

Some slender young women always feel dizzy at work every day. In fact, they sleep well, have sufficient nutrition, are not uncomfortable at work, and have no work pressure, but they still feel mentally exhausted and their work efficiency is greatly reduced. Young women with the above symptoms should have their blood pressure accurately measured, as hypotension may exist at this time.

Young women are also a high-risk group for hypotension, especially some women with weak constitution. Most of the hypotension in young women belongs to physiological hypotension, but the possibility of physiological hypotension cannot be ruled out. When the normal blood pressure is less than 90/60 mmHg, it is considered hypotension. People with hypotension will experience dizziness and general fatigue due to insufficient blood pressure flowing to the head.

Physiological hypotension is generally believed to be related to genetic inheritance and physical weakness, so it is also called constitutional hypotension. Symptoms of mild hypotension may include: dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, pale complexion, indigestion, nausea, etc.; symptoms of more severe hypotension include: standing dizziness, cold limbs, palpitations, shortness of breath, ataxia, slurred pronunciation, and even fainting, requiring long-term bed rest.

If it is constitutional hypotension, there is no need to worry at all. You can gradually improve your blood pressure through a reasonable lifestyle. Increase physical exercise, increase diet; eat more foods rich in iron, such as fungus, animal liver, eggs, fruits and vegetables.

Although constitutional hypotension is more common in young women, it cannot be ruled out that other physiological hypotension is common in various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and organic diseases, such as rheumatoid heart disease, acute myocarditis, etc. Patients with long-term hypotension will have insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart, which will greatly reduce the body's functions in the long run. The main damage includes: vision and hearing loss, induction or aggravation of Alzheimer's disease, and a greatly increased incidence of dizziness, fainting, falls, and fractures. Therefore, if patients with hypotension feel that the symptoms are serious, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether there are other organic diseases.
