Hypotenziót

Hypotenziót, also known as hypotension, refers to a condition characterized by abnormally low blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the blood vessels, and it is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Normal blood pressure is generally considered to be between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, with the first number representing systolic pressure (when the heart beats) and the second number representing diastolic pressure (when the heart rests between beats).

Hypotension can be classified into several types based on the severity of the blood pressure drop:

1. Orthostatic hypotension: This occurs when a person's blood pressure drops significantly upon standing up, often leading to dizziness or fainting.

2. Neurogenic hypotension: This is caused by damage to the autonomic nervous system, which regulates blood pressure.

3. Cardiogenic hypotension: This results from heart failure or other cardiac conditions that impair the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.

4. Vasogenic hypotension: This is due to a decrease in blood volume, often caused by dehydration or blood loss.

Symptoms of hypotension may include dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, blurred vision, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness. Treatment for hypotension depends on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes, medications, or medical interventions. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
