What is Low Blood Pressure?
Low blood
pressure (hypotension) is the pressure of the blood in the arteries. It
occurs when the pressure of the blood is abnormally low. Blood pressure
is typically recorded as the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over
the diastolic pressure (time between two beats). A consistent blood
pressure reading of 90/60 mm Hg or lower is considered low blood
pressure. People with low BP may experience symptoms of dizziness or
syncope (fainting) as the blood flow to the brain and other vital organs
becomes insufficient.
Common Causes of Low Blood Pressure
- Dehydration (due to sweating and/or diarrhea)
- Medications (for high BP or other treatments)
- Severe infection
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Pregnancy
- Fainting
Home Remedies for Low Blood Pressure
Tip 1:Soak 32 small raisins in a ceramic bowl full of water over night. Chew them one by one first thing in the morning. Chew well and drink the water also.
Tip 2:
Soak 7 almonds in water over night. Peel them and grind to a smooth paste. Add in a glass of milk and boil. Drink warm.
Tip 3:
Crush 10-15 holy basil leaves (tulsi) and strain through a clean muslin cloth. Mix with 1 tsp honey. Have it the first thing in the morning.
This is interesting, I've never heard of those home remedies before! I've been thinking about getting autonomic testing to test for low blood sugar to find out the severity of my issues. I will definitely keep these thoughts in mind!
