Many people begin to slowly crawl out of captivity, and some already complain of falls, fainting and all that. Most often this comes from a sharp drop in pressure.
Drop in blood pressure
A drop in pressure leads to a drop. If a person were to pass out, it would be a faint. We already spoke about fainting. But here consciousness is preserved, and a person cannot stand on his feet. The person begins to "storm", he staggers and sits down. Or lays down. Or falls.
This thing is not related to overheating.
If a person went in for sports or played Nordic walking with sticks, then his blood pressure drops more often after stopping. We have already spoken in history about distension of the heartthat the muscles drive blood through the veins.
If a person ran or walked quickly, and then got up, then a noticeable part of the blood will sink down to the legs. Blood pressure decreases, and for some people this is enough to "storm".
What to look for
It is advisable to find out when it became bad: during physical exertion, immediately after exercise or some time after exercise.
Did the person have pain in the chest or somewhere else? Was there a heartbeat or heart failure? People fall while walking from myocardial infarction or irregular heartbeats.
Have you had seizures or involuntary urination? This happens with epilepsy.
There are also all sorts of chronic diseases, like diabetes mellitus, in which you can suddenly collapse. If a person completely passes out before the ambulance arrives, it would be useful to find out all these points in advance.
You can check the following symptoms:
- chest pain;
- something is wrong with the head and behavior;
- dyspnea;
- pulse more often than 120 or less than 50 per minute.
If none of this is present, then most likely nothing terrible happens.
If a person ran, played sports or walked at a brisk pace, and then fell from a sharp drop in pressure, then they usually have a red face, but pale skin around the mouth (as in the picture above). This is a characteristic sign of a drop in pressure from a sudden stop.
A person who has fallen for a jog or while walking is not lifted, but left to lie and an ambulance is called.
