Dr. Ivan Korkov, a specialist in cardiovascular and lipid diseases, points out that low blood pressure can sometimes be life-threatening, and explains when an ambulance should be called.
According to him, in rare cases, hypotension, characterized by weakness, lethargy, nausea and other unpleasant symptoms, does not have serious consequences for the body, but only causes discomfort and reduces performance.
However, persistent and repeated low blood pressure can negatively affect heart function, so it must and should be treated.
According to him, people with low blood pressure are more prone to serious cardiovascular problems. A rapid pulse also indicates that the heart is working harder.
He points out that this is a compensatory mechanism for supplying tissues with oxygen, which is insufficient due to the slow flow of blood through the low-tension blood vessels.
Of course, a rapid pulse puts a significant strain on the heart. A sudden and sharp drop in blood pressure, accompanied by a decline in overall health, may indicate severe internal bleeding, a heart attack, or other life-threatening internal problems. In such cases, you should immediately consult a doctor or call an ambulance.
