Alarõhu

Alarõhu refers to low blood pressure, a condition where the force of blood pushing against the artery walls is significantly lower than normal. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, blurred vision, nausea, and fatigue. In severe cases, low blood pressure can deprive the brain and other vital organs of sufficient oxygen, potentially causing serious complications.

The causes of alarõhu are diverse. Common culprits include dehydration, significant blood loss, severe infections (sepsis), certain medications, heart problems, and endocrine disorders. For instance, standing up too quickly can cause a temporary drop in blood pressure, known as orthostatic hypotension. Pregnancy can also cause a drop in blood pressure as the circulatory system expands.

Diagnosis typically involves measuring blood pressure on multiple occasions. A healthcare professional will also review the patient's medical history and inquire about their symptoms. Treatment for alarõhu depends on the underlying cause. If dehydration is the culprit, increasing fluid intake is often sufficient. For other causes, lifestyle modifications, medication adjustments, or addressing the primary medical condition may be necessary. In some instances, low blood pressure may not require treatment if it doesn't cause noticeable symptoms.
