The norm of arterial pressure largely depends on age, and this factor must be taken into account. So, for example, in an adult healthy person, its value should be 120/80, in children under the age of twelve – 100/60, adolescence is characterized by pressure 110/70, for people who have crossed the age of fifty, the norm is 130/80, and for old people – 140/90. If the pressure has been low for several years, but the person feels good, there is no need to worry. In this option, it is only necessary to exclude the presence of pathological abnormalities in the body.
Causes of arterial hypotension
Hypotension in most cases is manifested by constant dizziness, fatigue and weakness. A decrease in blood pressure is often observed in adolescents and young people, which affects their well-being, mood, and ability to work. There are several determining factors that influence such changes. These are disturbances in the work of the heart (loss of strength by the heart muscle lowers pressure, for example, during a heart attack), a decrease in vascular tone and other factors that indirectly affect the state of the vessels and muscles of the heart.
The most common causes that affect the decrease in pressure are sudden changes in meteorological conditions (hot summer weather, thunderstorms, atmospheric pressure surges, magnetic storms) that worsen the well-being of many people and manifest themselves as joint pain, shortness of breath, and hypotension. The reasons for lowering pressure include depression, physical and mental overload, prolonged stress, taking hypotonic medications and antispasmodics, lack of trace elements and an imbalance of hormones in the body.
Increasing the pressure at home
Here are 5 tips to help you gradually normalize low blood pressure:
Sleep 9-11 hours (or additional hours of sleep during the day) and a reasonable alternation of mental and physical labor – that’s where to start. The correct mode of the day first of all!
You need to start the day by doing morning exercises, which warms up the body and promotes better blood circulation through the vessels. At the same time, body tissues are saturated with oxygen, and human performance increases. Aerobic exercises (running, aerobics) and exercises that can increase vascular tone (tonic) are very useful for hypotensive patients.
After that, you must definitely go to the bathroom and take a morning contrast shower. It is taken no more than 7 minutes, constantly alternating cold and hot water. The procedure contributes to the narrowing and expansion of the lumen of blood vessels, and, consequently, raises their tone.
Definitely a full breakfast! For example, oatmeal with fruit or sandwiches with cheese and butter, sweet tea or coffee.
Particular attention should be paid to a balanced diet, it is the main factor affecting well-being in the presence of hypotension. Include liver, fish caviar, cheese and cottage cheese, carrots, pomegranate juice, and horseradish in your diet. In nutrition, it is necessary to observe a limited intake of salt, use spicy additives and spices in sufficient quantities.
If hypotension is not based on any disease, then it is possible to use:
Tinctures of echinacea, or ginseng, as well as lemongrass (not lemon!), Leuzea, but in this case, you need to consult a doctor.
Immortelle infusion (Tones blood vessels, has a tonic effect. Eliminates insomnia)
Radiola rosea tincture (stimulates the central nervous system, has an adaptogenic effect, increases blood pressure)
Infusion of prickly tartar (Increases blood pressure)
Coffee-honey mixture (50 g of ground coffee mixed with 0,5 l of honey and the juice of one lemon. Store in the refrigerator. 1 tsp 2 hours after eating)
All of these methods in combination and regular use can increase blood pressure.
Rapid increase in blood pressure at home
Many people underestimate the seriousness of the problem of low blood pressure, although this is a direct signal of a violation in the body that spoils a person’s life. The whole difficulty lies in the impossibility of normalizing pressure once and for all, since changes in blood vessels are usually caused by a genetic factor. Today, there are many drugs, the action of which is aimed at increasing pressure.
But if they are not in the house or you are a supporter of home remedies, then there are a lot of methods for increasing pressure at home:
The easiest and most affordable way is to suck a pinch of salt on the tongue, you do not need to drink water.
Significantly increases the pressure and maintains a multi-day effect of the following method: pour 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in powder form with one glass of boiling water, let it brew and cool, add a few tablespoons of honey. Take in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening 0 two hours before bedtime at very low pressure.
And if it needs to be raised only a couple of points, then it’s good to eat a slice of bread that is smeared with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon.
A common but short-term remedy is a cup of coffee. Increase pressure infusions on herbs, which can be called natural energy and tonic agents, these include infusions of ginseng, leuzea, magnolia vine, eleutherococcus. They are taken 30 drops per 200 ml of warm water before meals. In very hot weather, with heavy sweating, a drop in blood pressure occurs due to the loss of water by the body. In this case, a glass of ordinary water can be a sufficient remedy, which will restore the hydrobalance of the body.
