To combat hypertension, there are many drugs and therapeutic approaches, since this syndrome is considered the main cause of heart attacks and strokes. But no less dangerous low pressure - the causes and treatment of this pathology are still being studied. Due to insufficient information on hypotension, as well as a small number of pharmacological agents for normalizing blood pressure, many people suffer from hypotonic syndrome for many years or throughout their life.
Causes and treatment of low diastolic and systolic pressure
At the moment of relaxation of the heart muscles in the arteries, the minimum blood pressure, called the diastolic or lower one, is established. Its normal value is about 80 mm Hg. However, it can vary between 60 and 80 mm Hg. Art.
Systolic or upper pressure characterizes the moment of compression of the heart muscle and the expulsion of blood in the artery. The norm of the considered index is 120 mm Hg. Although some specialists prefer to expand this value somewhat - from 100 to 120 mm Hg. Art.
The reasons for lowering blood pressure are:
- heredity;
- hormonal imbalance ;
- pathology in the work of cardiac chambers and myocardium;
- renal dysfunction;

- change in climatic conditions;
- starvation;
- chronic inflammatory processes in the body;
