Hypoxia Chronic

Hypoxia is an insufficient supply of oxygen to the organs and tissues of the body. Clinical hypoxia is a sign of diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous systems, and blood pathologies. Under conditions of short-term hypoxia, the heart begins to beat faster with increased venous pressure. Shortness of breath, dizziness, tinnitus, and increased heart rate occur. With chronic hypoxia, symptoms usually do not appear. An important sign of hypoxia is respiratory failure. Breathing becomes more frequent, its depth decreases, and tachycardia develops due to lack of oxygen. Breathing during hypoxia becomes more rapid - the respiratory center in the body “demands” the supply of oxygen instead of what is produced by the tissues.

In the chronic form, serious changes in internal organs may occur. Hypoxia can lead to the development of hypertension and disrupt the functioning of the cardiovascular system. That is why, with timely detection of the first signs of chronic hypoxia and comprehensive treatment, the development of negative consequences can be avoided.

Hypoxia is a condition of the body when the supply of oxygen to the tissues is limited. It can occur as a result of various factors, such as lack of oxygen in the environment, lung diseases, poor circulation, anemia and others. Hypoxia can also be caused by exercise and other factors that increase the body's need for oxygen.

When the body does not receive enough oxygen, it can lead to serious consequences such as decreased energy levels, fatigue, dizziness and headaches. Hypoxia can also cause deterioration in the functioning of the heart and other organs. If the oxygen level in the blood decreases to a certain threshold, it leads to death.

Symptoms of hypoxia can manifest in a variety of ways, depending
