The lower( diastolic) is the arterial pressure( abbreviated BP) at the time of relaxation of the heart muscle. It depends on the vascular tone( large and peripheral), increases with spasm of blood vessels and reduced their elasticity.
To lower diastolic blood pressure, you need to relax the vessels and improve their condition. This will help you with special medicines, some products and folk remedies.
Only the diastolic pressure can be reduced without lowering the systolic( upper), only if the systolic blood pressure is normal. But usually, when the lower pressure rises, the upper one rises - and in this case it is necessary to lower both.
Before using any of the therapies from the article, consult a therapist or your health care provider. High diastolic pressure with not significantly elevated systolic, most likely, indicates a kidney disease;also it can be provoked by serious diseases of the vessels( their inflammation, etc.).
1. Medications for high diastolic blood pressure
To quickly lower the increased lower pressure, use medicines.
ACE inhibitors
These are medicines whose action is aimed at blocking the angiotensin-converting enzyme( abbreviated as ACE).ACE is a bioactive substance that converts angiotensin 1, which does not affect pressure, to angiotensin 2, which increases it.
Examples of drugs of this class:
- Enalapril,
- Ramipril,
- Lisinopril.
Drugs in this group reduce both diastolic and systolic blood pressure. However, they have a greater influence on the lower one. A similar effect is provided by the drugs of the next group of medicines.
Angiotensin 2 receptor blockers
These drugs interfere with the interaction of special receptors with angiotensin 2. Due to this, the mechanism of excessive vasoconstriction and pressure increase, primarily systolic, is blocked. Examples of products of this group:
- Losartan.
- Valsartan.
- Carzartan.
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin 2 receptor antagonists are prescribed for patients with high blood pressure caused by kidney disease.
Beta-blockers
They equally affect both systolic and diastolic pressure. These drugs block adrenoreceptors, which are in the heart, so they affect more systolic pressure. But also diastolic also reduce due to the vasodilator effect.
Supplements for vessels
Lowering the lower blood pressure can also be done by regularly taking supplements that improve the condition of the vessels. They contribute to strengthening the walls of arteries and capillaries, increasing their elasticity, removing from the vessels of cholesterol deposits.
Supplements with maintenance of rutin, quercetin, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium, vitamins of group B will help you:
- Ascorutin( contains rutin, ascorbic acid);
- Asparks( magnesium, calcium);
- Hawthorn extract( rutin, quercetin);
- Vitrum Cardio( vitamins B, microelements).
2. Diet under increased lower pressure
First of all, if you have a high diastolic blood pressure, refuse to consume salt. It promotes the retention of excess fluid in the body, which leads to edema and vasospasm.
Also get rid of bad habits. Particularly harmful effect on the vessels of nicotine: it narrows them, which leads to increased blood pressure and disruption. And besides nicotine in cigarettes contains even more than 100 harmful additives, which have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system.
To improve the condition of the arteries, veins and capillaries, eat more foods that contain potassium, magnesium, vitamins B.
Lower pressure products
Potassium-rich | Beets, bananas, oranges, cucumbers, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, radish, peppers, watermelons, melons, nuts, dried fruits, yeast |
---|---|
High-magnesium content | Bananas, apricots, raspberries, strawberriesSoybeans, soy, cottage cheese, sour cream, mackerel, millet and buckwheat porridge |
Sources of B group vitamins | Pork kidneys and liver, rabbit, beef, pears, apricots, cherries, apples, oranges, bananas, carrots, tomatoes, nuts |
to make up a balanced racion with the listed products, which is suitable for you, consult a dietician. If this is not possible - just follow the rules of healthy eating and additionally include in the diet for several products from all three groups.
3. Folk remedies
Hawthorn
One of the most effective - hawthorn. It contains rutin( vitamin P) and quercetin, B vitamins and ascorbic acid - substances that strengthen blood vessels and improve heart function.
To quickly lower the diastolic blood pressure, drink a tincture of these berries or a decoction.
You can buy the tincture in the pharmacy or prepare it yourself.
Recipes:
Pour a glass of hawthorn fruit into a gruel, pour a glass of alcohol( 70%).Seal it tightly, leave it for 3 weeks in a dark cool place. Periodically shake. Strain. Drink 30 drops - dissolve them in water( about 1/3 cup). | 50 g of dried berries pour 500 ml of boiling water. Put in a warm place or cover with a towel. Insist 3 hours. Strain. Drink 1 tbsp.l.4 times a day. |
Valerian
Also used tincture, extract or decoction of valerian root. It dilates blood vessels, relaxes them, so it effectively lowers diastolic blood pressure.
Recipes:
Grind 2 tbsp.l.root of the plant, pour 10 tbsp.l.70% alcohol. Close tightly, place in a dark warm place. Insist 14 days. Strain. Drink 20 drops 3 times a day. To quickly remove an attack of elevated blood pressure - 30 drops. Dilute in 30-50 ml of water. | Take the 4 tbsp.l.crushed roots, put in a thermos bottle. Pour a liter of boiling water. Close the thermos. Insist 10-12 hours. Strain. Drink 1.5 tablespoons each.l.3 times a day. |
Stevia
Another great tool is stevia. Due to the content of a number of specific flavonoids, as well as vitamin C, it normalizes blood pressure, cleans vessels of cholesterol and reduces blood sugar.
Stevia extract is sold at a pharmacy. It can be added to drinks, as it is sweet to the taste. For individual dosage, consult your doctor.
Flax seeds
To improve the condition of the vessels, flax seeds also suit. They are rich in vitamins( including ascorbic acid), antioxidants, potassium, amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acid Omega-3.
Recipe. Take half a cup of the main ingredient. Rinse thoroughly. Pour 500 ml of water. Put in a water bath. Hold for 3 hours. Remove from a water bath. Cool down. Drink 1/3 cup morning and evening.
Please note! Flax seeds are contraindicated in urolithiasis and other kidney diseases.
Herbal tinctures are suitable for single use, and for the course( the maximum duration of the course for tinctures on alcohol is 2 weeks, for water funds - 1.5 months).Flax seeds should be taken as a course, as they are ineffective for one-time use. The duration of the course is 3 weeks.
