Here are the highlights that relate to Omega 3 and Low Blood Pressure:
• In medicine, hypotension refers to an abnormally low blood pressure. It is often associated with shock. Hypotension should not to be confused with hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Orthostatic hypotension, also known as head rush, is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person stands up suddenly. Symptoms include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and temporary loss of consciousness.
• For most individuals, a healthy blood pressure lies between 90/60 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg. A small drop in blood pressure can result in transient hypotension.
Omega 3 reduces heart irregularities. Especially the DHA content of it has been shown to lower heart rates and also prevent arrhythmias (disturbances of the normal rhythm in the heart's beating), thus decreasing the chance of sudden death by a heart attack.
• Omega 3 helps avoid thrombosis (blood clots) as it prevents platelets (smallest cells in the blood) to stick together and form blood clots. |
