What is the standard for low blood pressure

For any disease, there are some symptoms. Only through these symptoms can we know what kind of disease the patient has and what is the standard for low blood pressure. Many people don’t know much about it. When they feel that they have such a disease, they can also conduct corresponding inquiries, so that when treating such diseases, they can choose a good treatment method.

So what are the specific standards for low blood pressure? The following is a detailed introduction so that we can have some understanding of low blood pressure in our daily lives and know what to do. Especially when you find yourself with such a problem, you know what to do.

The units for calculating blood pressure are generally millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and kilopascals (kPa). The two can be converted between the two. The ratio between them is about 7.5:1. When converting, you can simply multiply the millimeters of mercury by 4 and then divide by 30 to get the kilopascal value of blood pressure, and vice versa.

The normal blood pressure range is systolic pressure between 90-140mmhg (12.0-18.7kpa), and diastolic pressure between 60-90mmhg (8.0-12.0kpa). Above this range may be hypertension or borderline hypertension, and below this range may be hypotension.

Hypotension usually refers to blood pressure below 90/60 mmHg. Many healthy people's blood pressure is lower than this, but if symptoms of hypotension occur, you should seek medical attention.

Some people with low blood pressure will experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, fear of cold, and weakness in the limbs due to insufficient blood supply to the brain and body.

Common knowledge of daily prevention for patients with low blood pressure

1. Elevating your head when sleeping at night can relieve symptoms of low blood pressure.

2. Exercise and improve your physical fitness. Develop the habit of exercising, eating a balanced diet, cultivating a cheerful personality, ensuring adequate sleep, and leading a regular and normal life.

3. When getting up in the morning, you should change your body position slowly to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure. Do not stand up suddenly, but turn around and stand up slowly. Do not flex or extend your limbs too vigorously or quickly. For example, when lifting or lifting heavy objects or standing up after defecation, you should do it slowly. The temperature of bath water should not be too hot or too cold, because heat can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure, while cold can stimulate blood vessels and increase blood pressure. Take a shower frequently to speed up blood circulation, or wash your feet alternately with cold and warm water. It is especially advisable for the elderly with varicose veins in the lower limbs to wear elastic socks, tights or bandages to enhance venous return. People with a thin physique should drink more water every day to increase blood volume.

4. Do not stand in a hot or oxygen-deficient environment for too long to reduce the incidence of disease. Patients with mild hypotension who do not have any symptoms do not need drug treatment. Severe cases are accompanied by obvious symptoms and must be given active treatment to improve symptoms, enhance quality of life and prevent serious harm.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the standards of low blood pressure, especially the common sense of prevention. Therefore, we must take precautions in our daily lives. Choosing the above preventive measures is a good choice and will not harm your health. At the same time, in daily life, diet and exercise should be carried out in moderation, so that all aspects of the body can develop.
