What should a middle-aged woman do about high diastolic blood pressure?
Generally, low diastolic blood pressure in middle-aged women may be caused by factors such as genetics, unhealthy lifestyle habits, high mental stress, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis. Patients should promptly visit a正规 hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment accordingly. Specific analysis is as follows:
1. Genetics
Low diastolic blood pressure may be hereditary, as blood pressure levels often show familial clustering. If there is a family history of high or low blood pressure, an individual's risk of developing similar issues may increase. If the patient has no discomfort, special treatment is usually unnecessary.
2. Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits
Poor lifestyle habits—such as lack of physical activity, an unbalanced diet, or excessive caffeine intake—can affect blood pressure levels and lead to the aforementioned condition. In such cases, patients can improve their condition by adjusting their daily routines and maintaining a relaxed, positive mood, avoiding excessive anxiety.
3. High Mental Stress
Chronic mental stress, anxiety, and tension may lead to overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system, causing blood vessel constriction and reduced blood volume, resulting in elevated diastolic pressure. It is recommended that patients engage in moderate outdoor activities such as badminton, running, or cycling, which can help relieve stress.
4. Hypertension
Unhealthy lifestyles, genetic factors, and other causes may lead to persistently increased pressure of blood flow against the arterial walls, resulting in high diastolic blood pressure. Symptoms such as headache and arrhythmia may also occur. In such cases, patients may take medications under medical guidance, such as valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide tablets, nifedipine tablets, or spironolactone tablets, to help manage the condition.
5. Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis is a kidney disease that may be related to genetic factors or infections. This condition can impair glomerular filtration function, affecting the excretion of water, electrolytes, and waste products, thereby leading to the above-mentioned issues. Some patients may also experience hematuria, proteinuria, and edema. Under a doctor’s supervision, patients may use medications such as enalapril maleate tablets, benazepril hydrochloride tablets, or compound captopril tablets for treatment.
In daily life, patients should ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue to prevent worsening of symptoms.
