We must pay attention to it! How does blood pressure low brain supply inadequacy do

summary

The elderly should not only pay attention to hypertension, but also prevent hypotension. Hypotension may also cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, which is no less harmful than hypertension. Hypotension in the elderly refers to systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure below 60 mmHg. Hypotension may be transient or chronic. Hypotension can be divided into acute and chronic. Most of the hypotension we discuss is chronic hypotension. According to statistics, the incidence rate of chronic hypotension is about 4%, and the elderly population can reach 10%. How to do with low blood pressure and insufficient cerebral blood supply.

We must pay attention to it! How does blood pressure low brain supply inadequacy do

First, the patients with physiological hypotension had no conscious symptoms except that the arterial blood pressure was lower than the above value. After long-term follow-up, there was no ischemia, hypoxia and other abnormalities in various organs of the human body, and life expectancy was not affected. Physiological hypotension is common in young women, especially those who are thin and long, and it is not uncommon for those who often engage in large amount of exercise and heavy manual labor. The occurrence of hypotension is often associated with higher vagal tension.

Second: pathological hypotension (hypotension) in addition to arterial blood pressure is lower than normal, often accompanied by general fatigue, dizziness, fatigue, sweating, palpitations and other symptoms, when standing for a long time or from lying (or sitting, squatting) to standing, the above symptoms are more obvious, even fainting. Hypotension is divided into acute hypotension and chronic hypotension. Acute hypotension is more common in all kinds of shock and acute cardiovascular disorders. Chronic hypotension may have genetic tendency, and may also be secondary to some neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, chronic malnutrition, endocrine dysfunction, convalescence of infectious diseases and the use of some antihypertensive drugs, often accompanied by corresponding discomfort and abnormal examination. It is not pathological for young women to have arterial blood pressure lower than normal without any conscious symptoms.

Third: the prevention and treatment of senile hypotension first find the cause, such as suffering from anemia, chronic gastric bleeding and other diseases to timely diagnosis and treatment; if suffering from postural hypotension, in the stand or get up as slow as possible, not too fast, every change of position, to rest for a while; physical weakness should strengthen nutrition. When sweating more in summer, pay attention to the supplement of salt and water. In order to prevent the occurrence of hypotension, elderly patients with hypertension should pay attention to monitoring the change of blood pressure in summer, and adjust the quantity, type and dosage of antihypertensive drugs in time and reasonably according to the doctor's advice.
