What are the symptoms of hypotension? What kind of care is needed on a daily basis?

Although some people may worry about hypotension, compared with high blood pressure, there is no need to worry too much. What's more, if there are no symptoms, people with hypotension can even live as long as normal people. However, it is actually quite troublesome if symptoms of hypotension occur. It is very dangerous if you suddenly become unconscious while standing up. Like this, everyone wants to return to normal as soon as possible.

Hypotension can be roughly divided into three types: secondary hypotension with a clear cause, instinctive hypotension with an unknown cause, and orthostatic hypotension that causes dizziness when standing up suddenly.

Acupoint acupressure is most effective for instinctive hypotension and orthostatic hypotension. In the case of secondary hypotension, no matter how hard you try to get rid of the symptoms, it cannot be completely cured without fundamental treatment. Regarding hypotension, it is necessary to treat it according to the symptoms.

In addition, some people think that low blood pressure requires drinking. This is wrong and should be avoided as much as possible. It is a completely secular theory that alcohol will increase blood pressure. Most modern medical opinions are that alcohol will lower blood pressure. In addition, in terms of diet, please avoid spicy and sour irritants. If there is abnormal blood pressure, whether it is high blood pressure or low blood pressure, irritants are not only bad for the body, but will also hinder treatment and slow down recovery. However, this only applies when you feel abnormal due to low blood pressure. If there are no symptoms, there is no need to worry.

Despite this, the human body still has certain limits. Taking in too many irritants is not beneficial to the body, so please pay special attention.

Acupoints and acupressure methods for treating hypotension

When you feel heavy-headed or dizzy, apply slightly strong acupressure on the acupoint called "Baihui". "Baihui" is placed in the center of the uppermost part of the head. Place the middle fingers of both hands on it, exhale slowly, and press hard for 6 seconds. Repeat this 5 times, and the blood circulation will become good.

In addition, when the whole body is lazy, the hands and feet are cold, dizzy, or the head feels dizzy when standing, there are two acupuncture points near the ankles that can achieve the effect.
