Hypotension, also often called as low blood pressure, can cause dizziness, fainting, as well as fatigue. Though it may not be always harmful, but chronic low blood pressure can lead to many complications if not treated properly. One of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy blood pressure level is through maintain a proper diet. So, today in this article, we will be telling you about the best foods to eat and avoid, along with scientific evidence supporting these choices, expert opinions, and answers to common questions about low blood pressure.
Understanding Low Blood Pressure.
The measurement of रक्तचाप is taken in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and consists of two numbers:
- Systolic pressure (the top number) which measures the force of blood against artery walls when the heart beats.
- Diastolic pressure (the bottom number) which measures the force when the heart is at rest between beats.
A normal blood pressure reading is 120/80 mmHg for all adults. Thereby, low blood pressure is usually defined as:
- Below 90/60 mmHg.
Though some people naturally have lower रक्तचाप with no symptoms, but others may experience some symptoms like dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and fainting.
