People usually talk about high blood pressure, its symptoms, effects and remedies. But a few of them may know about low blood pressure and they need to. Because this is the real problem too.
Very often people don’t realize they are suffering from it and often dismiss it as an one-off case of feeling dizzy or ill. Severe low blood pressure can block oxygen and vital nutrients from flowing to the brain and hence shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Causes
There can be plenty of reasons why you may be suffering from low blood pressure.
Dehydration: Drinking enough water is extremely essential for your well-being. If you are one of those who gets dehydrated easily, you must do something about it. One needs to drink more fluids than one loses. If you are one of those who works outdoors, ensure you keep sipping on liquids like nimbu paani. This will help keep the weakness in check.
Pregnancy: If you are pregnant, there’s a good chance your pressure might drop. This is normal but get yourself checked if it becomes too frequent.
Heart issues: Some heart problems could cause blood in your body to not circulate properly.
Deficiency of nutrients: A lack of some essential vitamins such as B-12 and iron can lead to anemia, which is turn can result in low blood pressure.
Solution
– Increase your salt intake: Generally people are told to avoid using too much salt in their diet. For people suffering from low blood pressure, salt can help. Check with your doctor though before turning to salty foods.
– Drink more water: Water is necessary for your basic body functioning. It also helps prevent dehydration. Don’t forget to increase your water intake if you’re constantly feeling giddy.
Home remedies: Take a cup of the raw beetroot juice twice daily. It is one of the best home remedies for low blood pressure. Drinking a cup of strong black coffee can also help. Some people suggest making a paste of almonds and drinking with lukewarm milk.
Exercise: Include a little exercise in your daily regime. A walk or a quick swim can help circulate the blood.
