1. Chen ××, a 65-year-old man often gets tired in the morning when he wakes up, his limbs are weak, he feels dizzy when he sits up, his eyes are dark, and he feels flustered. After lying in bed for half an hour, his symptoms are slightly reduced, and he still feels tired when he wakes up , Dizziness, loss of energy, these discomfort symptoms disappeared after noon. I didn't find any disease when I went to the hospital. The doctor said that it was weak and there might be hypotension in the morning. It is recommended to increase nutrition. What should I do in this case?
Hello Chen ××! According to our usual outpatient experience, you may have hypotension in the morning, causing dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty getting up in the morning. You may wish to measure your blood pressure in the supine and sitting or standing positions when you wake up in the morning. If the blood pressure in the sitting and standing positions is significantly lower than that in the lying position, it means that you have morning hypotension. Many patients have similar symptoms to you. Most of them thought that they had insufficient sleep or sleep dysfunction. Further research found that this is related to the insufficient regulation of autonomic nerve function and hypotension. We suggest you: Increase your nutrition and drink more soup, and eat a little more salt. Raising pillows at night when you sleep may help. You can also take medicine. There is a very effective medicine, Guantong, which specializes in treating hypotension. You can take one tablet before getting up in the morning. If you have severe symptoms, you can take one tablet before going to bed. It will definitely help you.
2. Li ××, female 25 years old, I sometimes have dizziness, fatigue, especially drowsiness after lunch, unable to concentrate. The blood pressure was measured at 75 / 40mmHg. The doctor said that I was suffering from low blood pressure, so I would exercise more, gain weight, and eat salty. May I ask the doctor if I have a hypotensive disease, how to treat it?
Hello Ms. Lee! According to your description, if there are no other chronic diseases, we make a preliminary diagnosis and you have constitutional hypotension. Constitutional hypotension is related to heredity and physical fitness. Young women, 20-40 years old, who are thin and lack exercise, may sometimes have hypotension. The mild person can have no symptoms, and only find hypotension during physical examination, without special treatment. Strengthen nutrition and physical fitness. Your condition is obviously dizzy and weak, which affects your work and is not easy to concentrate. You should be given appropriate medical treatment.
3. Week ××, a 42-year-old woman with chronic nephritis and renal failure undergoes regular hemodialysis treatment, waiting for a kidney transplant. Recently, during hemodialysis, nausea, vomiting, dark eyes, dizziness, prolapse and other symptoms often appear. Doctors say they have dialysis hypotension. But my blood pressure is not low. I used to have high blood pressure. My blood pressure was 160 / 100mmHg. What is dialysis hypotension and what should I do?
Hello Ms. Zhou! According to your situation, we preliminary estimate that you have dialysis hypotension common in patients with end-stage renal disease. The incidence of this type of hypotension is about 20%, which is related to ultrafiltration and autonomic nerve damage. This has nothing to do with normal blood pressure. If you can provide the average blood pressure and minimum blood pressure during dialysis, it is more helpful for diagnosis. If the blood pressure is lower than 100mmHg at this time with the above symptoms, it is definitely hypotension. It is suggested that, in addition to other treatment measures, if conditions permit, some blood pressure-raising drugs such as Guantong can be appropriately added during dialysis. A large number of studies abroad have proven that Guantong is effective in the treatment of low blood pressure in dialysis. We suggest that you better go to your attending physician for a clear diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
4. Wang ××, a 68-year-old male, when standing upright or standing for a long time on a squatting, will experience dizziness, dazzling, black eyes, and fainting many times. Once there was a femoral neck fracture after a fall and I was in bed for more than three months. Hospital examination revealed Parkinson's syndrome with orthostatic hypotension. What can I do about this condition?
Hello Mr. Wang! According to your introduction, you may have orthostatic hypotension due to Parkinson's syndrome and autonomic nervous impairment. According to foreign statistics, about 20% of patients with Parkinson's syndrome will develop orthostatic hypotension, and dopamine treatment will also aggravate the condition. Orthostatic hypotension with obvious symptoms, such as dizziness, syncope, etc., must be treated. If you have fracture complications, you should be treated appropriately. We recommend that you first measure the blood pressure in the lying and standing positions to see how the blood pressure in the standing position drops. Second, medications can be given. Such as Guantong, Guantong can significantly increase orthostatic systolic blood pressure, improve symptoms, and prevent complications. Third, pay more attention to nutrition and protection measures. To prevent fractures and other complications from affecting life.
