How to treat low blood pressure (FAST)!

Low blood pressure. High blood pressure. Both of them can actually kill you. But everybody is only talking about one. In this video, Aproko Doctor breaks down the quiet one, hypotension, the condition that makes you dizzy when you stand up, makes you nearly faint when you urinate, and that most Nigerians are walking around with right now, calling it stress and tiredness. You’ll learn: → The pumping machine analogy: why your heart, your blood vessels, and the pressure inside them all work together, and what happens when that pressure drops too low. → Why dehydration is one of the biggest causes of low blood pressure — especially in Nigerian weather where the sun can fry egg — and why by the time you feel thirsty, your body has already been looking for water for a while. → How malaria, typhoid, serious diarrhoea, and septic shock can drive your blood pressure dangerously low. → Why malnutrition and anaemia reduce blood pressure — and the Nigerian foods that contain everything your body needs to make more blood. → Why some hypertension medications can drop your pressure too low — and why you must keep checking your numbers even while on treatment. → Five practical things to do when your pressure is low: drink more water, a little extra salt, stand up slowly, eat smaller meals throughout the day, and compression stockings. → Why fainting is never normal — and the point at which low blood pressure becomes shock and a true medical emergency. → Why pregnant women feeling dizzy regularly need to see a doctor, not Google, not their neighbour. Fainting is not normal. If it is happening to you, there is a reason. Find out what it is. Experiencing dizziness, fainting, or low blood pressure?
