Symptoms and Natural Treatment for Low Blood Pressure
Low blood pressure or hypotension is an abnormal fall in the pressure. The normal values are 120/80 mmHg. When the levels are lesser than 90/60 mmHg, it is referred to as hypotension.
It is seen to occur due to certain medical condition or emotional stress. Dizziness and fainting are the primary symptoms. In extreme cases, it leads to shock.
Changes in the pressure are seen to occur during any part of the day. The blood pressure lowers during sleep and as you get up in the morning. High blood pressure is high, when you are active, excited and nervous. Fall in pressure happens on getting up suddenly from bed. Blurred vision, weakness, confusion and light headedness are the other common symptoms of low blood pressure.
Extreme cases or hypotension due to shock results in excessive perspiration, weak pulse or rapid pulse, breathing rapidly and sleepiness. It is a physiological state of the body, due to any kind of trigger. Seizures, chest pain, inability to eat, allergies, fever, stiff neck, headache, cough, fatigue, loss of consciousness, foul urine and burning sensation of urine. The cause determines the treatment procedure. Adding sodium to the diet helps.
