Blood pressure and the consequences of it.
We are constantly enriching our knowledge and knowledge of blood pressure. Of course, we know very well that many of us almost daily face it. It is an insoluble-incurable problem for them, but new things are constantly being discovered in the world. Especially when it comes to the consequences of it in the overall psychophysical health.
Together with a reminder of the basic, in this addition and some interesting results from the latest studies of blood pressure.
Increased blood pressure (hypertension) is a modern-day illness associated with increased stress, sleep deprivation, obesity, salty foods, drugs (corticosteroids and contraceptives), smoking and increased consumption of alcohol and energy drinks. In over 90% of cases of increased blood pressure, the cause is unknown, and in less than 10%, it occurs as a consequence of other diseases (renal disease, adrenal disease, heart damage, thyroid disorders, etc.).
Normal blood pressure values are from 120 / 80mmHg to 140 / 90mmHg. When the "upper" pressure exceeds 140, and the "lower" 90, it is thought to be an elevated-lowered blood pressure, but these values have increased over the years. Thus, in 60-year-old people, the "upper" blood pressure is usually 140, and in the 80-year-old 160mmHg.
Changes in blood pressure with the change in time of day and night (circadian rhythm) are associated with more frequent heart attacks and strokes in the early hours of the morning. It is normal at night to lower the blood pressure to 10-20%, and in the morning, after awakening in the first few hours, it will grow again, but some do not reduce the pressure at night. In these cases, the risk of stroke and heart attack is increased. Around 3-4 o'clock at night the ability to dilute the blood is reduced, i.e. blood clots are more easily formed, and this is an additional risk factor. It is therefore necessary to monitor changes in blood pressure during the day, to adjust the therapy (the interval of administration and dose of drugs), thus preventing the onset of a cardiac or stroke.
A blood pressure lower than 100-60 mmHg measured multiple times is a reduced blood pressure (hypotension). For permanently reduced-reduced blood pressure or primary hypotension there is no specific cause, and secondary hypotension occurs as a consequence of another disease: bleeding, infection, dehydration, cardiac infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, burns, use of drugs for lowering blood pressure and diuretics.
Symptoms are malaise, pallor, lack of energy, rapid tiredness, dizziness, fainting, weakness, poor memory. Such people feel uneasy in the morning, and they need stimulants in the form of a "coffee for awakening".
Low blood pressure without symptoms poses no health threat. The organism adapts to a certain blood pressure, so some people are 90-50 normal, and for others that otherwise increase, when the pressure drops to 100-60, there is malaise, dizziness, fainting, and energy depletion. Standing from a standing or sitting position in a standing position can lead to dizziness (orthostatic hypotension). It is advisable to gradually move from a lying position to adjust the pressure.
When there is insufficient blood in the coronary arteries, chest pain and even heart attack can occur. In case kidneys are not sufficiently supplied with blood, toxins are not thrown out of the body to a sufficient extent and their accumulation can occur. In the worst cases, a shock may develop (after a life-threatening condition when vital organs remain free of blood and do not perform their function).
And by introducing a sufficient amount of fluids, an adequate volume of circulating blood is provided and a pressure reduction is prevented. People with low blood pressure have a lower risk of heart attack and heart and kidney disease. Athletes, recreationalists and people who regularly deal with some sort of physical activity, with ideal body weight and non-smokers, have lower blood pressure.
A recent study - combining various drugs for blood pressure, involving more than 11,000 people, aimed to determine which combination was the best. One group received a tablet containing ACEzines and a calcium-suppressant medicine. ACEzimas spread the blood vessels due to a decrease in pressure, while the calcium suppressant relieves blood vessels so that the heart does not have to pump it hard. A second group received commonly prescribed prescribed combinations of drugs for blood pressure. In the first group, about half the patients brought their blood pressure under control.
US national guidelines recommend that high blood pressure be first treated with diuretics, drugs that reduce salt and fluid in the body, and then add other drugs to lower blood pressure, if necessary. However, the study ut
