I had done my blood test
one year ago...
According to the results
my blood is quite low which is 98 over 68 (98/68 mmHg). From the
research, the normal
blood pressure is below 120 over 80 (120/80
mmHg). In addition, I always felt dizzy when I wake up or standing a long
period of time and my body temperature is low because I easy to get cool. There
are a symptom of Postural hypo-tension.
From the
research, Postural hypo-tension is considered a failure of the
autonomic nervous
system
- the part of the nervous system that controls involuntary vital actions, such
as heartbeat to react appropriately to sudden changes. Normally, when you stand up, some
blood pools in your
lower extremities. Uncorrected, this would cause your blood pressure to fall.
But your body normally
compensates by sending messages to your heart to beat faster and to your blood
vessels to constrict. This offsets the drop in blood pressure. If this does not
happen, or happens too slowly, postural hypo-tension results . What
cause low blood pressure? For my case, I found that there are some reason cause
me blood pressure which are I did not drink enough water (500ml water per day
only) and it cause my dehydration, from the link (http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/water-drinks.aspx).
The other reason will cause me low blood pressure is I was lack of exercise
(sorry, I really dislike exercise:P) There are some suggestion to cope my low
blood pressure which are drink more water, basically the low blood
pressure client must drink a minimum 8 glasses of water per day
(http://www.webmd.boots.com/heart-disease/guide/understanding-low-blood-pressure-diagnosis-treatment?page=3)
. Hence, the attitude which I want to change is drink 8 glasses of water per
day and get regular exercise (at least twice per
week) to promote blood flow.
