What is the reason for low blood pressure in women?

Low blood pressure is an increasingly common disease among humans, and both young and old people are often at risk of the disease. In severe cases, you may feel dizzy and dizzy, while in mild cases, you can choose diet therapy to alleviate the symptoms. Especially some women are more prone to low blood pressure in their daily life. In this way, there are naturally many reasons for women to have low blood pressure. When women want to alleviate the low blood pressure, they should adjust it according to the actual reasons.

What is the reason for low blood pressure in women?

Blood pressure is the pressure on the blood vessel walls. The level of blood pressure has nothing to do with gender. High blood pressure and low blood pressure mean contraction and relaxation. Contraction and relaxation indicate poor heart function and weak heart pumping efficiency. The heart is the main organ in the human body that pumps blood. If you have low blood pressure, it means it is related to the heart. If the patient is a female, it may be related to excessive blood loss, such as heavy menstrual flow, poor physical condition, deficiency of Qi and blood, etc. Long-term excessive blood loss will affect the respiratory system, causing the blood to not circulate normally and the heart to not carry out normal systemic circulation. Simple low blood pressure will not cause serious symptoms. If the low overnight blood pressure value is serious and symptoms such as headache, dizziness, panic, chest tightness and shortness of breath occur, medical treatment is required. Both diastolic and systolic blood pressure are dynamic values. When measuring blood pressure, you cannot use one measured value to determine whether it is normal. At least three standard measurements are required.

What should women do if their high blood pressure is low?

1. Treatment of the cause of the disease: People with weak constitution should increase their nutrition; those who feel weak after taking antihypertensive drugs should stop taking them or switch to milder antihypertensive drugs; hypotension caused by various acute diseases should actively treat the original disease; avoid changing posture too quickly and standing for a long time; raise the pillow by 15 cm when sleeping; it is best not to go to the bathroom at night, always have a toilet when lying in bed or have someone else accompany you to avoid accidents. Foreign doctors have observed that caffeine has a very good effect on chronic standing hypotension. Taking 0.25 grams of caffeine 30 minutes before breakfast can relieve postprandial hypotension. You can also drink a cup of coffee before breakfast to provide caffeine, which can also achieve similar effects.

2. Improve physical exercise. Physical exercise often has a buffering effect on high blood pressure and low blood pressure. A foreign scholar once said: "Exercise can replace many medicines, but no medicine can replace exercise." Elderly people with low blood pressure can choose the exercise program that suits them according to their own mental state.

3. Elderly people with low blood pressure and a high-salt diet can appropriately increase their salt intake to about 2-3 times the normal amount of salt, that is, 20-25 grams per day. Be sure to drink more water after consuming more salt. More water entering the blood can increase blood flow and thus increase blood pressure.

4. Take tonic medicine. The elderly with low blood pressure can take tonic medicine to adjust blood pressure. They can take 6 grams of longan meat every day, or take wild ginseng under the guidance of a doctor. The Chinese medicinal material "Shengmai San" (10 grams of mountain ginseng, 20 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 10 grams of Schisandra chinensis) is taken once a day, and the actual effect is also good.

5. The symptoms of hypotension are obvious with medication. You can use pressor drugs such as Ritalin and ephedrine, as well as adenosine triphosphate, coenzyme A, vitamin B2 and C to improve brain metabolism.
