Benefits of exercise for people with low blood pressure

Low blood pressure can make exercise difficult for anyone, but by following a few tips, this problem can be dealt with.

In this regard, the Indian TV channel NDTV has given some instructions with the help of which people suffering from low blood pressure can exercise in their best way. Let's find out what those tips are.

Start exercise slowly

Walking or light stretching of the body gradually increases the heart rate. Exercising gradually does not reduce blood pressure overnight.

Do not allow dehydration

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise to keep your blood pressure in check. Staying hydrated prevents blood loss and keeps the heart healthy during physical activity.

Wear appropriate compression garments for exercise to keep blood flowing to your legs. Compression garments improve blood circulation which keeps blood pressure regular and blood pressure does not fall suddenly while standing.

Do strength training

During exercise, do exercises that strengthen the muscles and the body. Strength training strengthens the heart and improves blood circulation, due to which blood pressure is maintained.

Pay attention to posture during exercise

Pay special attention to body posture during exercise and exercise patience when moving from one position to another. Avoid standing for a long time so that the blood pressure does not drop suddenly.

Support during exercise

When you do any exercise that requires you to put your weight on or stand for long periods of time, use a stability ball, chair or handrails to keep your balance and prevent falls. Doing so reduces the risk of falling and injury.

Monitor for symptoms

When you exercise, pay attention to how you feel during the exercise and take special care that you are not experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or blurred vision. If you feel anything like this during exercise, stop exercising immediately.

Do light exercise

Choose exercise that is light such as swimming, cycling or walking on a treadmill. Such exercises do not put unnecessary stress on the body and patients with low blood pressure can easily exercise.

Build up to the exercise slowly

Once you start exercising regularly and your body gets used to the exercise, gradually increase the intensity of the exercise. Gradually acclimate your body to strenuous exercise
