Blood pressure below normal is clinically diagnosed as hypotension. Normal blood pressure ranges from 90 to 140 mm Hg systolic and 60 to 90 mm Hg diastolic. If the systolic pressure is below 90 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is below 60 mm Hg, it is clinically diagnosed as hypotension. Symptoms of hypotension often include fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and darkening before the eyes. Mild hypotension may not present any clinical symptoms, while severe hypotension requires treatment based on clinical symptoms and the underlying disease to correct it.

How to supplement the diet for low blood pressure

Low blood pressure can cause harm to the body, and long-term low blood pressure may lead to insufficient blood supply to important organs. Therefore, while treating with medications, dietary adjustments should also be made. Patients with low blood pressure should generally consume a diet high in protein, nutrients, and calories. It is often beneficial to include nutrient-rich soups such as chicken soup, duck soup, mutton soup, beef soup, and sea cucumber soup. These soups can not only provide high-quality proteins, trace elements, minerals, and various vitamins needed by the body but can also enhance the body's immunity.

What is the range for low blood pressure?

Blood pressure is an important indicator of human vital signs. Normal blood can meet the demands of human life activities and the blood supply to major organs. Too low blood pressure can severely affect human health and even endanger life. Normal blood pressure ranges from 90 to 140 mmHg for systolic and 60 to 90 mmHg for diastolic pressure. A systolic pressure below 90 mmHg and a diastolic pressure below 60 mmHg is considered low blood pressure. Diagnosis should also take into account underlying diseases, clinical symptoms, and other factors.

What should people with low blood pressure eat?

No matter what the cause of low blood pressure, it is necessary to supplement with nutrients. Therefore, patients with low blood pressure should consume foods high in quality protein such as milk, eggs, lean meat from animals, fish, and shrimp. These foods not only provide high-quality protein needed by the human body but also supply a variety of vitamins and trace elements, enhancing physical constitution. Additionally, consuming more salty soups, vegetable soups, chicken broth, and fish soup can not only provide rich nutrients but also quickly increase blood volume, thereby raising blood pressure.

How to treat low blood pressure?

How to treat low blood pressure depends on the extent of the decrease in blood pressure and the causes of low blood pressure. If the blood pressure is not too low and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, generally, there is no need for pharmacological treatment. What is needed is lifestyle adjustments, consuming high-nutrient foods, proper exercise, increasing the vitality of the heart and the elasticity of the blood vessels, and drinking more broth. If it is caused by severe illness leading to shock, immediate effective medication treatment and rescue are required, starting with the replenishment of blood volume, improving microcirculation, and using vasopressors to raise the blood pressure to a safe range, to ensure the blood supply to the heart, brain, and kidneys.
