The medical name for low blood pressure is hypotension. Low blood pressure occurs when blood pressure is much lower than normal. This means the heart, brain, and other parts of the body do not get enough blood. Normal blood pressure is mostly between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg. Blood pressure varies from one person to another.
There are several types of hypotension. People who always have low blood pressure have chronic asymptomatic hypotension. They have no signs or symptoms and need no treatment. Their low blood pressure is normal for them.
The three main types of this kind of hypotension are orthostatic hypotension, neurally mediated hypotension (NMH), and severe hypotension linked to shock.
Orthostatic hypotension: This type of low blood pressure occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. It can cause dizziness, light headache, or even faintness. This type of low blood pressure usually lasts for only a few seconds or minutes after stand up. Orthostatic hypotension can occur in all age groups, however it?s more common in older adults, especially those who are frail or in poor health.
Neurally mediated hypotension: With NMH, blood pressure drops after standing for a long time. This type of low blood pressure also can occur if you have an unpleasant, upsetting, or scary experience.
Severe Hypotension Linked to Shock: Is a life-threatening condition in which blood pressure drops so low that the brain, kidneys, and other vital organs can?t get enough blood to work well. Blood pressure drops much lower in shock than in other types of hypotension.
Causes:
Certain medicines and substances can lead to low blood pressure, including:
- Alcohol
- Anti-anxiety medicines
- Diuretics
- Painkillers
- Not drinking enough fluids (dehydration)
- Hormonal problems
- Heat exhaustion
- Liver disease
Symptoms:
Symptoms of low blood pressure or hypotension may include:
- Dizziness
- Light headache
- Blurred vision
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Cold, clammy skin
- Fainting
- Pale skin
Indication:
There are many persons involving in hypotension in modern life. The main causes of hypotension are low vitality of heart function and physical weakness. Masood?s HR 12 surprisingly strengthens the body and controls hypotension.
Pharmacology:
HR 12 contains Oleander in which Oleandrin a Na-K ATPase inhibitor binds to specific amino acids in the protein, causing it to lose its function. After depolarization of the cell in which Na+ flows into the cell, the Na+ cannot be transported back into the extracellular membrane, causing the sodium gradient to disappear. This gradient is the driving force for the?sodium-calcium exchanger, which plays an important role in cardiomyocytes. The vasodilation action of P. Ginseng improves blood circulation. Ginseng has an antihypertensive effect, which appears to be related to higher doses of ginsenosides present in Ginseng. In addition, the blood pressure lowering activity of P. ginseng is due to promotion of vascular endothelial cell-derived nitric oxide (NO) secretion. Furthermore, a mixed aqueous hydro alcoholic extract of Caffeine and Aralia Race has anti-hypertensive effects by inhibition of arterial myogenic responses. HR 12 contains Ginger which reduces blood pressure and prevents blood clots, normalizes blood pressure and improves blood circulation.
