Diastolic hypertension - a disease that is accompanied by an increase in lower blood pressure. Diagnosed in older and young people. Most often asymptomatic, making it difficult to diagnose. The isolated form of the disease associated with the development of dangerous complications, so it must be treated promptly.
What are the causes of disease
reasons for the development of diastolic hypertension contribute to the following:
- urinary system disease (renal vascular atherosclerosis, glomerulonephritis), at which produced substances which increase the tone of the vascular wall and narrowing the lumen of arteries;
- thyroid disease, in which increases the concentration of thyroid hormones that affect the cardiovascular system;
- excess fluid retention, provoked by malfunction of the kidneys, changes in hormonal levels, the use of salty foods.
Risk factors include:
- obesity (considered the main cause of high blood pressure);
- bad habits (smoking, alcohol abuse);
- low physical activity;
- improper diet;
- psycho-emotional overload;
- elevated levels of low density lipoproteins in the blood;
- diabetes.
manifestations
Symptoms isolated diastolic hypertension depends on the stage of development of pathological processes:
- Initial stage. Signs of disease occur periodically. These include short-term bouts of headache, nausea, general weakness. Less commonly, there is noise in the ears, limbs lose sensitivity, pain in the temporal region of becoming a pulsating character. Seizures are accompanied by dizziness.
- Persistent moderate increase in pressure. Accompanied by pain in the heart, chills, double vision. Nausea becomes pronounced, it often ends with vomiting. The jump in blood pressure results in the development of epistaxis. Face and limbs become swollen.
- Pronounced increase in diastolic blood pressure. It promotes the development hypertensive crisisIn which the symptoms mentioned above are combined with severe headache, tachycardia, persistent vomiting. In a patient with damage to the vascular walls numb tongue, which is why it is broken. The attack is accompanied by increased sweating.
medication
Drug treatment isolated diastolic hypertension complicated by the fact that most drugs reduce both the lower and upper pressures. To begin therapy is necessary to eliminate the disease, contributing to the development of hypertension. Most often, treatment is carried out in a hospital.
Therapy with antihypertensive drugs
In the treatment of diastolic hypertension following antihypertensive agents is used:
- Beta-blockers (timolol, Lokren). Prevent the flow of adrenaline to the heart, muscle tissue relaxes, the volume of ejected blood is reduced. Started treatment with a minimum amount of administration medication dose gradually increased to achieve a therapeutic effect.
- Calcium antagonists (Isoptin, gallopamil). Active substances inhibit calcium influx in cells of arteries and the heart muscle.
- ACE inhibitors (Berlipril, Enap). The medicaments inhibit the production of certain enzymes, improving vascular permeability and increasing their elasticity. You need to take medications under the supervision of a physician.
Angiotensin II receptor blockers
Medicines of this group (Losartan, Candesartan) is reduced left ventricular function, improve the quality of life of hypertensive patients, eliminate symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, wheezing for breastbone). Regular use of drugs increases the resistance to corrosion. When the medication systolic-diastolic hypertension depends on the pressure increase time. If symptoms of hypertension It appears mostly in the evening, take a tablet in the afternoon. Angiotensin receptor blockers are contraindicated in case of:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- dehydration;
- reducing the potassium level in the blood;
- are hypersensitive active substances and excipients.
diuretic drugs
Diuretics taken in combination with other drugs. They are used in patients with uncomplicated disease. Thiazide diuretic drugs have weakly pronounced hypotensive action. Formulations Hydralazine spironolactone and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, prevent renal functions. Uncontrolled diuretics may trigger arrhythmias.
Treatment of folk remedies
To cope with isolated diastolic hypertension in the early stages by using folk remedies that combine traditional therapeutic methods. Before applying the tools you need to consult a doctor.
vegetable juices
For the treatment of hypertension, use the following juices:
- Beet. Not only it normalizes blood pressure, but also lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood. beet juice is used in the treatment of kidney diseases. Use it to 1 glass in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Potato. It improves the function of the heart muscle, restoring fluid and electrolyte balance, reducing the risk of a rise in the blood pressure. Potato juice drink in the morning and evening for 200 ml.
- Cucumber. Used in the treatment of many diseases. It clears cholesterol deposits from blood vessels, and improves the kidneys and digestive system. 0.5 liters of juice drink in the morning and at bedtime.
- Carrot. It is used in the treatment of many diseases of the cardiovascular system. When hypertension is 1 cup of drink drink in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Garlic. Juice improves health, combats insomnia, increases appetite, prevents atherosclerotic vascular lesions. Before the use of garlic juice diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1. Means take 1 tbsp. l.
- Onion. Useful for people who have high blood pressure combined with eating disorders. 1 tbsp. l. onion juice drink in the morning on an empty stomach.
herbs
Pronounced hypotensive action the following plants:
- Hawthorn. Flowers poured boiling water in a ratio of 1:10, leave for half an hour. Ready infusion hypertension consume 50 ml 3 times per day.
- Grape leaves. 50 g of raw material is brewed in 0.5 liters of water, insist 10 minutes. Tea drink during the day, distributing the resulting amount into several stages.
- Motherwort. 2 tbsp. l. herbs pour 1 cup boiling water. Pushing means 3 h, cooled and filtered. Take it in small sips throughout the day.
- Locust. 1 tbsp. l. flowers brewed in 200 ml of boiling water, taking 100 ml 3 times per day.
- Dill. 50 g of seed is poured 200 ml of boiling water, allowed to stand for half an hour. Consume 0.5 cups before each meal.
berries
Chokeberry and viburnum reduced pressure and purified cholesterol deposits from blood vessels. These berries with isolated diastolic hypertension used to prepare fruit drinks and jam. Blackcurrant and normalizes the cardiovascular system, fills a deficiency of vitamins. It consumed fresh, is ground with sugar, cook compotes and jams.
