2. Nausea
When people experience nausea as a sign of low blood pressure, the doctor may think they are suffering from heartburn or indigestion.
However, low blood pressure can be a sign of something much more serious. It can cause shock and even death, so a patient who experiences this condition should get checked out as soon as possible.
A nauseated person may also experience signs such as dizziness and lightheadedness. Other signs associated with this condition include vomiting, fainting, chest pain, and transient ischemic attacks.
1. Heart Palpitations
Heart palpitations, which are brief and fleeting bursts of the rapid, irregular beating of the heart, can also be a sign of having low blood pressure. This may also be a sign of a heart problem.
The good news is that palpitations usually disappear after a short period. If you notice that heart palpitations are occurring more frequently than usual, you should contact a medical professional for a complete evaluation.
If you suffer from frequent heart palpitations, you definitely should see a doctor. This can signify a more severe condition, including a heart rhythm disorder known as arrhythmia.
Treatments And Care
There are many treatments for low blood pressure. Depending on the cause of your low blood pressure, treatment will depend on the root cause. Some cases may require specialist care and medications, while others will require simple lifestyle changes.
Here are some of the various treatments for low blood pressure.
7. Increase Salt Intake
Salt is known to increase blood pressure since too much of it can retain water in the body. When that happens, it can add pressure on the blood vessels. This causes blood pressure to rise.
While too much salt is dangerous for high blood pressure, it can help raise low blood pressure.
