causes | treatment methods |
Many of us do not need and he felt days, similar to dizziness or vertigo simple when standing after lying down or after sitting for a long time ... so continue for a few seconds .. The accompanying blurry vision and voice ringing in the ear .. and other things less Ktnmal parties and others.
What is this called? Is it a health problem call the doctor? What causes? And how can we avoid it?
Orthostatic hypotensionPostural Hypotension
Definition:
Is kind of a drop in blood pressure, which occurs when you do after a sitting position or lie down so that it is in the form of dizziness and imbalance sometimes up to fainting! It may happen hypotension orthostatic anyone, especially adults age Vnspth those over the age of 65 ranged 15% often comes hypotension orthostatic slightly and continue for a few seconds or minutes, but sometimes it may be an indication of a serious problem, especially when the problem recurs for long.In mild cases may not need treatment, but must treat the cause of the most difficult situations.Symptoms- Feeling dizzy or dizziness after standing- Blurred vision- General weakness- Sometimes fainting- Visible- Headache- Lack of concentration
Reasons
The lying down or sitting for a long time leading to accumulation of blood in the parts closest to the Earth's surface because of gravity, and when you do the sudden delayed blood to reach the heart to pump to various body parts, including the brain, it is expected here that fall blood pressure but there are mechanisms physiological body prevent this from happening, such as a reaction reflexive nervous fast through some receptors Baroreceptors next cardiovascular and neck .. that lead to an acceleration in the pumping of the heart (increase palpitations) and increase the strength of contraction to increase the amount of blood pumped by the Alanaqbadh per, as well as the secretion of hormones necessary the constriction of blood vessels and thereby increase the resistance and elevated blood pressure.
It occurs orthostatic hypotension when there is any defect in these mechanisms, or the existence of reflectors work .. as follows:
- Decrease in blood volume due to lack of drinking fluids or losing heavily as vomiting and diarrhea cases and sweating in cases of fever and excessive exerciseAll this can lead to the loss of large quantities of water in addition to sodium salts than are covered person and even loss of small amounts of them .. may lead to imbalance and fatigue and overwork .. In case of loss large including Vmanml a so-called Hypovolemic shock any a decrease in size and shock of the complications that threaten a person's life in case of poor perfusion in the body, especially if severe and is not controlled .. can lead to death within minutes or hours!
- DrugsA lot of drugs lead to hypotension orthostatic and most important drugs to treat high blood pressure and heart medications because they lead to the loss of large amounts of fluid through the kidneys .. especially when high doses and in the elderly, such as Beta blockers, and diuretics Diuretics and blockers calcium Calcium channel blocker and ACEI and nitroglycerin and also medications used to treat Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease
Also taking medications that have an impact on the nervous system, and thus affect the nerve sensors in arteries, Vtqll efficiency Lord has done it, such as hypnotics Albarpittalah narcotics, and alcohol intake.
- Heart problemsSuch as the problems that lead to low blood pressure .. such as low rapid heartbeat (bradycardia) and problems of the heart valves and heart failure .. all can lead to orthostatic hypotension to insufficient blood within the circulatory system.
- DiabetesWhen they are not diabetic control .. lead to increased urination .. and thus the loss of fluids and also affects diabetes and nerve functions in the body, including those that transmit nerve signals to control blood pressure.
- Problems in the nervous system, such as: Parkinson's diseasemultiple system atrophy (Shy-Drager syndromeamyloidosis that affect the way the body's regulation of blood pressure also.
Risk Factors
- Age: Most cases occur more on the age of 65 years .. because with increasing age .. تتباطئ receptors Baroreceptors ability to regulate blood pressure, and is less than the ability of the heart to increase the speed of pulses to compensate for the drop of blood.
- Drugs: such as those mentioned above.
- Some diseases: such as Parkinson's disease and some heart disease as previously mentioned.
- Exposure to high temperature: leading to excessive sweating and thus the loss of a large amount of fluid.
- Lying down or standing for a long time: like lying in bed for a long time because of illness or surgery .. This leads to a general weakness in the body has been infected person orthostatic fall in blood pressure for a temporary period.
- Sit his بقدمين crossed for a long time: whether the man on the other man's knee ... knee or ankle on the other man - as men usually sits - this leads to pressure on the blood vessels and thus encourages collect blood in the feet.
- Pregnancy: As a result of the expansion of circulation quickly to pregnant .. leading to low blood pressure .. has become significant enough to drop suddenly when you do.
When should you see a doctor??
Most cases are minor and temporary due to lack of drinking fluids or low blood sugar, or exposure to the sun or heat for a long time.But if the problem persists for a long time without one of these reasons. Might be an indication of a problem .. then tried to record the times when I felt so and what you were doing at the time. Then see a specialist doctor.
Complications
Most cases do not lead to complications .. but just because they harass a person no moreBut may sometimes lead to serious complications in advanced cases, such as:
Fall: result fainting .. and the consequent risk ofStroke: increases the likelihood of their occurrence.Dementia: Some research has shown that modern orthostatic hypotension may lead to chronic brain damage as a result of ischemia and subsequent incidence of early dementia and brain problems.
Diagnostic tests and
The aim of the tests is to determine the cause of the problem to reach the right solution
- Measuring blood pressure: and compared during sitting and standing five minutes- Blood tests: and give you a general idea about the health of the body .. such as the level of sugar in the blood, and the presence of anemia that may lead to lower blood pressureECG ECGEchocardiogramAnd others according to what the doctor deems appropriate.
Treatment
And depends on the underlying cause of the problem, but overall when you feel such symptoms .. you lie down and stretch it straight so that the level of the feet higher than the level of the head.
If the cause of the problem is drugs .. Either reduce the dose used, or replace the medicine with another.
And there are some treatments that may be useful, such as: change of lifestyle: drinking larger amounts of liquids, avoid drinking alcohol, avoid exposure to heat for a long timeAnd also avoid sudden stand, but try to do gradually after lying downAvoid standing for a long time without movement.There are some exercises to strengthen the muscles of the man .. Your doctor may advise you to increase the amount of salt in food are few if you do not suffer from high blood pressure.
Compression stockings: which are commonly used in the case of varicose veins .. possible be useful in preventing the blood pool FBI feet and thereby relieve symptoms.
Medicines: There are some drugs that may be useful in the treatment of the problem by raising blood pressure.
Many of us do not need and he felt days, similar to dizziness or vertigo simple when standing after lying down or after sitting for a long time ... so continue for a few seconds .. The accompanying blurry vision and voice ringing in the ear .. and other things less Ktnmal parties and others.
