What is the difference between low blood pressure and anemia oh
Some people compare anemia with low blood pressure, thinking that low blood pressure is caused by anemia. In fact, anemia and low blood pressure are two different concepts in medicine. Anemia is a comprehensive pathological state in which the total number of red blood cells in the blood decreases or the amount of hemoglobin within red blood cells decreases. Only in special cases, such as acute hemorrhage, the patient will not only be anemic, but also have a sharp decrease in blood pressure. There are many causes of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia, hemolytic anemia, hematopoietic anemia, and infectious anemia. Infectious diseases that can cause anemia include acute infectious hepatitis, tuberculosis, septic lung disease, and gastrointestinal disorders. Particularly after partial removal of the stomach and intestines, it can affect the body's absorption of iron and vitamin B12, making a person anemic. People suffering from chronic nephritis, hydronephrosis and congenital polycystic kidneys, erythropoietin reduction, affecting the production of red blood cells, will also cause anemia. Modern medical research has confirmed that many endocrine diseases and connective tissue diseases, such as chronic hypoadrenocorticism, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus and other diseases are also often combined with anemia. Anemia also occurs under normal physiological conditions, for example, women lose an average of about 90 ml of blood per menstrual period, of which up to 30 mg of iron, which is used to make the pigment in red blood cells, is lost each time. From the onset of menstruation to menopause, the loss of so much blood and iron, if not supplemented in a timely manner with the appropriate nutrients, anemia is inevitable. In addition, women need to provide 300 to 500 mg of iron to the fetus during pregnancy, if there is no timely supplementation of iron in the diet, can also lead to anemia in pregnant women. Infants and children grow rapidly, if partiality and picky eating, also easy due to malnutrition and anemia due to iron deficiency. Anemia is generally easier to find, the color of the face is often a mirror to determine whether there is anemia. People with anemia not only look pale, but also have pale eyelids and nails. Anemia can be mild or severe, and there is also a developmental process. In mild cases, there are no obvious symptoms, and some people may experience dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, forgetfulness, and loss of appetite. In more severe cases, swelling, dry hair, and even anemic heart disease may occur. Of course, to determine the presence and severity of anemia, it is best to go to the hospital to check the total number of red blood cells and hemoglobin content. Hypotension is a condition in which the blood pressure of adults is lower than 90/60mmHg for a long period of time, and there are common cases of somatic hypotension and postural hypotension. The former is mainly seen in weaker women and brain workers. Symptoms are usually not obvious, but in more severe cases, fatigue, dizziness, forgetfulness and possibly constriction in the precordial area may occur. Postural hypotension, also known as upright hypotension, often occurs when lying down, squatting, standing up suddenly or standing for a long time, at which time transient cerebral ischemia symptoms such as dizziness will occur. Prevention and treatment of weakness hypotension should avoid partiality, diet should be meat and vegetables, should consume food containing protein, iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 more. Strengthening sports exercise can adjust blood pressure. Patients with postural hypotension should move slowly when standing up from lying or squatting position. In addition, postural hypotension can also be caused by a variety of diseases or drugs, such as spinal cord disease, endocrine dysfunction, chronic malnutrition, or due to taking antihypertensive drugs improperly and overdose. Therefore, we should go to the hospital to find out the cause of the disease and then carry out targeted treatment. No matter which kind of low blood pressure patients, it is appropriate to eat more salty food, because salt can make blood pressure rise. Drinking more water and exercising more every day can increase blood volume, and you can also eat some cinnamon meat, jujube, red kidney beans, etc., which not only can increase nutrition, but also help to correct low blood pressure. ............................................... General adult blood pressure is lower than 12/8 kPa (90/60mmHg) for a long time for low blood pressure. People with low blood pressure are prone to fainting and shock. Hypotension is common in chronic wasting disease, malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal inflammation, ulcers, etc., and is mostly seen in young women. Clinical symptoms caused by low blood pressure mainly include headache, dizziness, chest tightness and shortness of breath, easy fatigue, inability to concentrate, insomnia, poor appetite, cold limbs, slow pulse. Once the body position changes often black eyes, dizziness. For patients with long-term low blood pressure, the doctor proposed health care prescription is: 1, timely to find a doctor to determine the cause of low blood pressure; 2, increase dietary nutrition, eat more warm tonic spleen and kidneys food; 3, eat more salt, which can elevate blood pressure, improve dizziness, drowsiness and weakness and other symptoms. However, salt intake should not be too high; 4, often eat ginger, can promote digestion, stomach, raise blood pressure. Ginger can be sprinkled in vegetable soup or tea with ginger; 5, eat less winter melon, watermelon, celery, hawthorn, bitter melon, green beans, garlic, kelp, onions, sunflower seeds and other foods with antihypertensive effect; 6, actively participate in physical exercise, enhance physical fitness. ...................................... In many anemia patients, low hemoglobin is caused by the insufficiency of a certain blood-forming raw material in the body. As long as according to different types of anemia, supplement the corresponding blood-forming raw materials, anemia can be corrected. Most of the patients can do it by paying attention to their diet. (1) Iron deficiency anemia. Need to supplement iron-rich food. Such foods are: pig liver, beef liver, chicken and duck liver, pork loin, pork belly, beef loin, beef lungs, beef juice, egg yolk powder, dried silverfish, dried yellowtail, squid, jellyfish, shrimp and shrimp and other meat dishes; spinach, greens, water chestnut, broccoli, leeks, celery, bean curd skin, dried tofu, as well as peaches, oranges, jujubes and so on. In the above food food to pig liver, beef liver, chicken and duck liver best oh. (2) folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, should be supplemented with animal liver and kidney, lean meat, green leafy vegetables. (3) Anemia caused by insufficient supply of protein, should be supplemented with lean meat, chicken, duck, beef and lamb, as well as bean products. However, it should be noted that the gastrointestinal function of patients with anemia is generally in a low state, supplemental food should be gradually increased, so as not to aggravate the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, don't cause maldigestion and malabsorption oh. Answer: yyfreeliang - 魔界至尊 十八级 6-6 08:14 What is called anemia? Anemia does not mean that there is not enough blood in the body, but that there are not enough red blood cells and the hemoglobin they contain. The total volume of red blood cells in the blood of a normal person's body is an average of 24 to 30 milliliters per kilogram of body weight, and the total amount of hemoglobin is an average of 8 to 10 grams per kilogram of body weight. If the hemoglobin concentration is lower than 125 grams per liter for adult males and 115 grams per liter for females, it can be regarded as anemia. According to the degree of hemoglobin reduction can be graded anemia, mild anemia, hemoglobin (Hb) & gt; 90 grams / liter; moderate anemia, Hb60 ~ 90 grams / liter; severe anemia, Hb & lt; 60 grams / liter. So how does anemia occur? The survival of red blood cells in the blood is about 120 days. Senescent red blood cells are removed by death and are constantly replenished by bone marrow hematopoiesis. The destruction and production of red blood cells in the blood of a healthy person is kept in balance so that the concentration of red blood cells in the blood is stabilized in the normal range. If the life span of red blood cells is greatly shortened for some reason or if there is abnormal bleeding that exceeds the bone marrow's ability to replenish them, the concentration of red blood cells in the blood will fall. Anemia caused by the former is called hemolytic anemia, and anemia caused by the latter is called hemorrhagic anemia. On the other hand, if it is not the overconsumption of red blood cells but the reduced hematopoietic capacity of the bone marrow that fails to replenish the normal consumption of red blood cells, the concentration of red blood cells also decreases. There are many reasons for insufficient bone marrow hematopoiesis. Some of them are insufficient raw materials for hematopoiesis, such as iron deficiency: some of them are the bone marrow itself is defective or injured, such as aplastic anemia, leukemia, etc. Some of the bone marrow hematopoietic insufficiency disease only affects the red blood cells to cause simple anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia, some bone marrow disease in addition to the shadow of red blood cells, but also affects the white blood cells and platelets, so that a variety of blood cells are reduced, such as reproducible dysplastic anemia and acute leukemia. What is low blood pressure? Adults with upper arm blood pressure less than 90/60mmHg and the elderly less than 100/70mmHg are called hypotensive. Hypotension can be categorized into acute and chronic. Acute hypotension is mostly secondary, secondary to other serious diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, diarrhea, hemorrhage, etc.; severe pain or excessive water loss can also cause low blood pressure or even fainting or shock, the condition is complex and acute, need to be sent to the hospital. Chronic hypotension is the sign of hypotension that we want to talk about. According to statistics, the incidence of chronic hypotension is 4%, and up to 10% in the elderly population. Chronic hypotension can be generally divided into three categories: 1. Constitutional hypotension: the most common. It is generally believed that it is related to heredity and thinness, and is mostly seen in women aged 20-50 and the elderly. In mild cases, there may not be any symptom, while in severe cases, there may be mental fatigue, dizziness, headache, and even fainting. It is more obvious in summer when the temperature is higher. These patients have poor regulation of vasodilatation and lack of physical exercise. 2. Postural hypotension: It refers to a sudden drop in blood pressure of more than 20mmHg, accompanied by obvious dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, fatigue, nausea, cognitive dysfunction, palpitation, and pain in the back of the neck, when the patient goes from a lying position to a seated or upright position, or when he/she stands for a long period of time. This phenomenon is more commonly viewed as poor blood pressure regulation than a sudden drop in blood pressure. Postural hypotension is related to a variety of diseases, such as multiple system atrophy, diabetes mellitus, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, menopausal disorders, hemodialysis, surgical sequelae, anesthesia, antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, hypnotics, antipsychotic depressants, etc., and others, such as: bed-ridden and frail elderly people with prolonged illness. 3. Secondary hypotension: hypotension caused by certain diseases or drugs, such as spinal cord cavernous disease, rheumatic cardiomyopathy, antihypertensive drugs, antidepressants and chronic malnutrition, hemodialysis patients. Thus, it seems that anemia and hypotension is divided into two departments of the problem, not the same thing, and there is no inevitable link between the two.
