Low Blood Pressure Causes And Treatment

When the pressure of the blood that is exerted against the walls of
the blood vessels after and during every heart beat is lower than
normal, you have low blood pressure. This can result in insufficient
blood flow to the important body organs like the heart and the brain.
And this can lead to various low blood pressure symptoms.You may detect
low blood pressure symptoms during the use of various drugs such as
those used for surgery, anti-anxiety agents, treatment for high blood
pressure, diuretics, heart medicines, antidepressants, narcotics,
alcohol, and other types of drugs. You may notice the low blood
pressure symptoms also because of dehydration, heart failure, or heart
attack, anaphylaxis, shock, diabetes (especially in advanced stage),
etc.

Common Causes Of Low Blood Pressure:

Antidepressants - Are you taking antidepressants? If so, different
ones can cause all sorts of different reactions within your body. Talk
to your doctor about any changes in your health when taking various
prescription drugs.

High Blood Pressure Medication - This is a big culprit. When you're
being given medications to control your high blood pressure, often
times it can lead to low blood pressure. That is why follow up visits
with your doctor are so important when starting any new treatment
program.

Alcohol - If you're not aware, drinking alcohol can have a dangerous effect on your blood pressure.

Heart Medications - Diuretics - Anti-Anxiety Medications - All of
these can lead to a dramatic drop in blood pressure readings and must
be monitored carefully.

Treatment:

Use more salt. Doctors often suggest you to decrease salt intake, as
sodium can increase blood pressure. But this is an advantage for people
with low blood pressure. If you are patient of heart failure then
consult your doctor before increasing salt in your diet.

Drink lot of fluids -- You may take 10 glasses of fluid a day.
During exercise and hot weather you should take fluids rich in sodium
and potassium

Take extra salt and water during illness like flue and cold. During flue you may lose lot of fluid.

Have your doctor evaluate your medicine and omit that drug that is causing too low blood pressure.

To promote blood flow, have regular exercise.

If you are having postural hypotension, then be careful while
standing up from lying or sitting position. Breath deeply for few
minutes before standing up. Pump your ankles and feet a few times
before standing up to increase circulation.
