Hypotension is a condition in which one has a low blood pressure (BP)
is the sudden fall of blood pressure after a sudden change in position from sleeping to sitting, sitting to standing, or direct from sleeping to standing.

?
Physiologically, when a person is in sleeping position, blood is evenly distributed throughout the body (from toes to head) which gives adquate flow of oxygenated blood to all body tissues, especially the brain. But when he/she gets up very quickly, there is downward movement of blood from the upper region (chest cavity) to the lower region due to gravitational effect, this causes decrease in amount of blood returning to the heart, amount of blood being pumped out of the heart, which eventually causes the decrease in blood pressure.

This sudden drop in blood pressure(BP) reduces the amount of oxygenated blood going to tissues, and is the most sensitive and affected organ because it can not generate it's energy in absence of oxygen. This makes the brain to fail to perform efficiently.

, a person is likely to experience;
-blurry vision, - dizziness,
-falling down, - fainting
-blackout, - confusion

😞😞⁉️❓
Okay..... In normal circumstances👍, the body has an inbuilt mechanism that helps to prevent this from happening, which is by directing constriction of the lower blood vessels to prevent excessive downward movement of blood. ,😞 sometimes this mechanism fails to function properly due to certain underlying conditions, which are the risk factors and includes;
~dehydration ~diarrhea
~low blood volume
~severe vomiting ~fever
~drugs that causes vasodilation

?🤔
Yes, you can prevent and reduce the effects postural hypotension by; ✓drinking enough water, stand up slowly. If were sleeping first sit for few minutes then stand.

Being healthy does not only mean being physically well and free from diseases, no. It also depend much on the psychological and mental wellbeing of a person.
Just like body diseases can affect the mental and emotional state of a person, being mentally unwell can do even more harm on the body, affecting all aspects of a person's life.

Unlike any other diseases, mental health is hard to deal with for it is difficult for us to know what someone is going through unless he/she opens up. Most sadly, many people does not consider seeking mental health care from mental health experts
?
It's a responsibility of everyone of us to promote and raise awareness about mental health,
Be a brother's and sister's keeper

As we said in our previous post, experiencing low BP is very much expected during this hot period.
The picture below is taken from someone seeking medication for low BP.


In as much as taking medicine is recommended to manage the condition, one need to be careful as many drugs have side effects and can worsen the condition from low BP to High BP if not well regulated.


This includes taking enough water to ensure rehydrion, and making sure there is salt in food we are eating

?
Well, we know that salt contains sodium and chloride. This sodium is an important ion that helps the reabsorption of water back into blood, the process that takes place in the kidney. By this, it helps to increase blood volume, which is one of the factors that contribute to increase in blood pressure, in this case towards normal

As we face the new COVID-19 variant, OMICRON, it is important and wise to abide by the preventive regulations that are put in place by Health authorities.

Yesterday we talked about some importance of taking water regularly. Today we will continue on this same topic, now regarding BP.

is actually simply blood pressure, which is the pressure that blood exerts against the walls of blood vessels, chiefly the arteries.
Different people suffers different types of BP, some it's low BP while others it's high BP.

?
The level of BP is usually influenced by many factors, including total blood volume, which we will focus on in this discussion.
How much water one takes determine how much of it is absorbed into blood, affecting blood volume.

As we said in yesterday's post, during this hot period, our bodies are loosing a lot water in trying to maintain a constant normal body temperature. For this reason, we expect to have reduced blood volume, which can drive our BP on a low side.
And it is for this reason that a lot cases of people having low BP has been reported.

, if you have history of low BP, it is important to take adquate amount of water. This will increase the amount being absorbed into blood, increase blood volume, and eventually raising the blood pressure towards normal. And this will help to prevent escalation of the condition.

With those who suffers high BP high BP , it is important that you watch how much water you take to avoid the consequences.

: when you experience any of the two, see your doctor or visithe nearest health facility as soon as possible.
