Why do I feel dizzy when my blood pressure drops?

Hypertension can cause great harm to the body, so many patients start taking medication immediately after discovering that they have the disease. However, their blood pressure does go down after a period of time, but they still feel dizzy and there is not much improvement. What is going on in this situation? Experts say that although the blood pressure has been lowered in time, the body has not recovered normally and it is necessary to persist for a period of time. In addition to taking medication, you must also pay attention to your diet. You cannot eat meat and processed meat products with extremely high saturated fatty acid content, avoid alcoholic beverages and coffee, strong black tea, and animal fats.

1. Dizziness due to lowered blood pressure

Blood pressure does not return to normal immediately after it is lowered. It takes a few days to adapt. Be sure to take your medication on time.

2. Foods that should not be eaten for high blood pressure

1. Avoid eating meat and processed meat products with extremely high saturated fatty acid content:

For example, beef, pork, mutton, pork belly, fat, sausage, bacon, etc. Because this type of food is high in fat, although it is high in protein, it also has a high content of saturated fatty acids, which can easily cause high blood lipids and induce coronary heart disease.

2. Avoid eating pickles, peppers, alcoholic beverages, coffee, and strong black tea:

For example, pepper, mustard, curry, wine, coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks; pickled vegetables, various pickles... because spicy food can induce nerve excitement and cause high blood pressure.

3. Avoid animal fats and choose vegetable oils

Because animal oils are rich in saturated fatty acids, tuna, eel, etc. are not suitable for selection because they are rich in saturated fatty acids.

4. Avoid foods that cause bloating

Sweet potatoes and dried beans are foods that can easily cause bloating, so patients with hypertension should eat less of them. In addition, strong-flavored biscuits are high in sugar and salt, so they should be eaten less.

5. Avoid drinking too much

For example, the alcohol component in white wine affects the synthesis of endogenous cholesterol in the liver, increasing the concentration of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides, causing arteriosclerosis. At the same time, it can cause the deposition of myocardial fat, enlarge the heart, and cause hypertension and coronary heart disease. Therefore, people with high blood pressure should avoid drinking too much strong alcohol.
