Causes, types, risk factors and symptoms
Most often, hypotension begins in youth, and its development can be triggered by dehydration, allergies, or the onset of cardiac pathology. Here are a few reasons for its occurrence:
- heredity;
- a specific feature of the human constitution;
- sports activities at a professional level;
- acclimatization of the body during climate change;
- after a head injury;
- vegetative-vascular dystonia;
- pathologies in the thyroid gland;
- large total blood loss;
- during pregnancy;
- constant overwork;
- stress;
- past infectious diseases.
Hypotension can appear under certain actions and circumstances; on this basis, the following types are distinguished:
- orthostatic. Occurs when there is a rapid change in body position;
- postprandial. Blood pressure decreases after eating;
- physiological. Associated with increased physical activity and changes in the usual daily routine and diet.
Not all people, under the influence of the environment, lower their blood pressure and develop hypotension. There are some risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing pathology, these are:
- person's age;
- taking certain medications (such as alpha blockers);
- history of chronic diseases (Parkinson's disease, diabetes and various diseases of the cardiac system).
During a pathological decrease in blood pressure, blood circulation in the vessels of the brain is disrupted. Therefore, symptoms of oxygen starvation appear. Such as:
- throbbing dull pain in the back of the head;
- a sharp feeling of nausea, less often vomiting;
- reaction to weather changes;
- slight dizziness or fainting;
- sudden darkening of the eyes;
- development of general weakness and fatigue;
- forgetfulness and absent-mindedness;
- depression;
- tachycardia;
- shortness of breath;
- pain in joints and muscles;
- “wet” palms;
- reduced body temperature.
If even a few signs appear, the onset of the disease can be suspected. To confirm the diagnosis, you need to see a therapist and undergo additional examination.
Low blood pressure, its causes and methods of treatment are discussed in this video:

Causes of low blood pressure
A decrease in blood pressure by no more than 20 mm Hg. Art. - this is a relative norm; usually these fluctuations are temporary and do not affect general well-being. Pathology is indicated when for a long time the readings do not exceed 100/60 mmHg. Art. This condition is called arterial hypotension and is divided into several types:
- Physiological. Low pressure at rest is often observed among professional athletes, people working in hazardous industries, and living in high mountain areas with a rarefied atmosphere. It is also observed in those living in conditions of very low or high temperatures, for example, in the Far North or in regions with a tropical climate. This type of hypotension is called adaptive or compensatory.
- Pathological, that is, arising against the background of systemic diseases or decreased physical activity. This condition leads to poor circulation. Disruption of the mechanisms of blood pressure regulation and the development of hypotension can occur due to hormonal imbalance, for example, with hypothyroidism or adrenal dysfunction. Hereditary predisposition also plays a major role. Another reason for a sudden decrease in blood pressure may be an acute allergic reaction - anaphylactic shock.
- Neurogenic - diagnosed mainly in adolescence, often as a result of brain injuries or autonomic disorders. This type of hypotension occurs due to dysfunction of the nervous system or problems with cerebral circulation.
- Medication. The reason for a sharp decrease in blood pressure is often due to uncontrolled use of drugs to lower blood pressure or diuretics.
Low blood pressure can be a symptom of various diseases, in this case they speak of secondary arterial hypotension. A decrease in pressure is typical for osteochondrosis, inflammatory infectious diseases, heart failure, stomach ulcers and a number of others.
A sharp decrease in pressure can occur against the background of anaphylactic shock, severe bleeding, intoxication of the body, and prolonged dehydration. The tonometer will show low blood pressure values in case of chronic fatigue, constant lack of sleep, depression.
Hypotension can also be a consequence of poor nutrition, when a person, in order to quickly lose weight, switches to a diet with a significant calorie deficit. In women, blood pressure often drops when there is heavy bleeding during menstruation.
Important! The choice of drugs to increase and decrease blood pressure cannot be made independently or on the advice of friends. This can aggravate the situation and lead to irreversible consequences.
Only a doctor can understand the reasons for the decrease in pressure and prescribe the correct treatment after conducting a comprehensive examination.

Hypotension - treatment with folk remedies. How to increase blood pressure
Let's return to the question of what to do if low blood pressure is caused by primary hypotension. Although this disease does not pose a threat to the patient, it causes a lot of inconvenience. One of its manifestations is called “neurocirculatory asthenia.” Often the cause of this illness is stress and depression, and in order to distract a person from sad thoughts, the body produces completely unusual symptoms: diarrhea, constipation, joint pain, heart pain. In these cases, doctors do not always make an accurate diagnosis; treatment begins for the symptoms, not the disease. And with neurocirculatory asthenia, one must first of all fight hidden depression. To do this, you can use pharmacy antidepressants or folk remedies. St. John's wort is especially effective - infusion, decoction, tincture.
To prepare the decoction: 1 tbsp. l. dry St. John's wort pour 1 cup of boiling water, cook for 5 minutes. Drink this dose during the day in 3-4 doses 30 minutes before meals.
To prepare the infusion: 3 tbsp. l. dry herbs, pour 1 glass of boiling water, leave for 2 hours, drink in 3-4 doses.
Treatment of hypotension with St. John's wort tincture is especially effective : pour dry herbs with alcohol in a ratio of 1:10 and leave for 2 weeks. Take 30-40 drops per 100 ml of water 3-4 times a day before meals.
Hypotonic people tend to complain about life, describe their symptoms and all the troubles with taste. It is recommended to change their lifestyle, and treating hypotension with medications is only an auxiliary procedure.
If you have low blood pressure, what to do first:
1. Physical activity: swimming, walking. One of the causes of congenital hypotension is dilated veins in the legs. When walking and swimming, working muscles expel blood from the lower extremities, increasing its volume circulating in the body. As a result, the pressure rises. Walking and jogging in the forest or in the park are especially useful - nature, sounds, and smells there treat depression and calm the nerves, lifting the mood.
2. Sleep. Hypotonic patients need to get enough sleep. If your blood pressure is low, you should not sleep without a pillow; your head should always be higher than your body. You cannot get up abruptly and quickly. Before getting up, it is advisable to do several exercises in bed: stretch, spin a bicycle, bend your hands and feet, elbows and knees. Then just sit on the bed with your legs dangling. This will help avoid morning fainting.
3. Nutrition for hypotension. If you have low blood pressure, you need to have a hearty breakfast. Tea or coffee will help you cheer up, but you should not drink these drinks cup after cup, neglecting food. Food should be high in calories; the diet for hypotension can include spicy and salty foods.
4. Vigor and willpower. If you have low blood pressure, then you don’t want to do anything, including taking care of your health. Often, hypotensive patients let their illness take its course, aggravating their condition. To help the body get up and start acting, you need to take plants - adaptogens. In addition to St. John's wort, these are alcohol tinctures of Rhodiola rosea, Leuzea, Zamanikha, ginseng, Aralia, Eleutherococcus, they will also help increase blood pressure, pulse rate, and strengthen the immune system. All these tinctures are sold in pharmacies, take them 20-30 drops per 100 g of water 2 times a day 30 minutes before breakfast and lunch. Course 3-4 weeks.
In the treatment of hypotension with folk remedies, royal jelly is widely used. It can be taken either in its natural form or in the form of apilak tablets. A good natural remedy for treating hypotension is pantocrine.
Treatment of hypotension with drugs
Medicines that narrow the blood vessels also help increase blood pressure. But they are quite dangerous and are not sold in pharmacies. The only available medicine is Gutron, but it should be used only in extreme cases, when it is not possible to increase blood pressure without medication, and severely low blood pressure interferes with living and working. The drug metoprolol has a good effect in the treatment of hypotension with a tendency to faint. This medicine also helps with hypertension.
Headache with hypotension
Hypotonic patients are often plagued by headaches that do not respond to painkillers. Therefore, first try to do without medications. To get rid of a headache with hypotension, the following technique will help: a cold compress on the head, mustard plaster on the neck, and immerse the legs in hot water. If this does not help, then use the drug Vazobral. It contains caffeine and ergot extracts - this liquid is taken in combination with pentalgin
Thus, patients with hypotension can turn from whiners into ordinary healthy people if they follow simple rules.

First aid
If a drop in blood pressure takes you by surprise, and there are no medications at hand, alternative treatment methods will come to the rescue:
- The easiest way to get rid of low blood pressure and raise it is caffeine. It is enough to drink a cup of strong coffee or black tea. Caffeine tones blood vessels and improves their ability to spasm. You should not get carried away with this method; if you abuse coffee, you risk encountering atherosclerosis and a number of other diseases of the cardiovascular system. Do not forget that drinking coffee more than 3 times a day is harmful.
- In old age, with low blood pressure, people often resort to salt, and in case of critical indicators, it is recommended to dissolve a pinch of salt to increase the indicators. As you know, sodium retains water in the body, accordingly the volume of blood increases, and it circulates at a higher speed, increasing pressure. It is not recommended to use this method for people with kidney failure or ulcers.
- You can improve the patient's well-being with low blood pressure by applying a cold towel to the forehead. This manipulation will increase blood flow to the head and heart. A good idea would be to massage your neck and earlobe. You need to massage these areas for 5-10 minutes.
- Blood pressure stabilizes after drinking cinnamon drink. For a glass of boiling water, take two teaspoons of cinnamon powder and 1 spoon of honey. Mix the drink thoroughly and drink it warm. As a rule, after 15 minutes, a hypotensive person feels an improvement in his general condition, and his blood pressure increases.
