Low diastolic blood pressure

Low diastolic blood pressure goal is not always the norm. In some cases, it is a sign of some pathologies. With a stable low diastolic blood pressure should consult a physician. It is especially dangerous for pregnant women.

What is the diastolic pressure should be considered low

Blood pressure consists of two numbers - the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic pressure is dependent on the force and frequency of contraction of the heart muscle during systole (contraction of the heart muscle and release of blood into the arterial network), and diastolic - the elasticity and resilience of the walls of small peripheral arteries and of renal that generate renin enhancing tone of the walls of arteries and raising the diastolic blood pressure.

It has the value of lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. But if the drop in systolic blood pressure is more common as a variant of the norm, and combined with lower diastolic blood pressure, lowering diastolic blood pressure usually indicates pathology and gives complications.

It is considered to be low diastolic blood pressure below 60 mm Hg. But this figure is an individual, for someone it is higher, and for someone below. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure may cause a reduction in vascular tone. Such pressure occurs in about 5% of men and women, young and middle-aged as a variant of the norm, many people do not realize that they have a low diastolic blood pressure.

In pregnant women, a variant of the norm occurs more frequently (10%), but they also do not feel sick. But it happens and vice versa, with a decrease in diastolic blood pressure of a person becomes lethargic, loses efficiency - it is a pathological phenomenon - hypotension. Hypotension can be a sign of some other disease (eg some endocrine disorders, allergic process, chronic diseases).

Low diastolic blood pressure in the elderly

Low diastolic blood pressure in elderly and senile age increases the risk of complications of the cardiovascular system. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure at this age due to a decrease in the elasticity of the walls of the aorta and large arteries, which are sealed due to atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis - when problems with blood vessels  Atherosclerosis - when problems with blood vessels
 . Such a state of large arteries leads to an increase in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and increase in pulse pressure over 40 mm Hg. That is, while the blood vessels in a large volume of blood ejected at the time when their walls are changed and devoid of elasticity. Such a condition leads to higher incidence of coronary heart disease and higher mortality rates.

Furthermore, it was found that low diastolic blood pressure in elderly patients contributes to the formation of Alzheimer's disease - dementia occurring on a background of metabolic disorders in the brain.

Low diastolic blood pressure in pregnant women & lt;

It was found that the most favorable pregnancy occurs when the level of diastolic blood pressure of 70-80 mm Hg impact of lower diastolic blood pressure on pregnancy outcome to date has been insufficiently studied. However, many researchers have come to the conclusion that low diastolic blood pressure is dangerous for pregnant women.

As a result of reduction in diastolic blood pressure of fetal blood circulation and, hence, its nutrition and oxygen supply - that is manifested all the signs of placental insufficiency.

All this may lead to the termination of pregnancy, the baby lag in weight and further physical and psychological development.

Very often the diastolic pressure is reduced during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. From 34 to 40 weeks, in some women, it gradually increased.

Signs of low diastolic blood pressure

Signs of low diastolic blood pressure in addition to blood pressure are constant nagging headache Headache  Headache
 , Dizziness, weakness, malaise, seizures, tachycardia, pain and discomfort in the heart, memory impairment, decreased performance, a constant feeling of cold, meteosensitivity (deterioration of health when weather changes). Sometimes the reduction in diastolic blood pressure manifested as orthostatic effects: dizziness, darkening of the eyes and fainting when moving from a lying position to a standing position. Such states are often joined by the phenomenon of neurosis: irritability, mood swings, depression, frequent Depression  Depression
 , Tearfulness, anxiety.

At even greater reduction in diastolic blood pressure may appear hypotonic crises as severe weakness, up to fainting, failure of performance, feeling short of breath, palpitations seizures, vomiting.

Hypotonic crises last for a few minutes, your blood pressure at the same time can be reduced to 80/50 mm Hg or lower.

Treatment usually after Policy Pay Survey and identify reasons for the decline in diastolic blood pressure. The main disease is being treated, appointed tonics, physiotherapy and maximum exposure to fresh air.
