Hypotension of Consciousness

Hypotension: Understanding and Signs

Hypotonia of consciousness, also known as hypotension of consciousness, is a condition characterized by a decreased level of consciousness and reduced brain activity. This condition often causes lethargy, fatigue and general weakness in the patient. In this article we will consider the main aspects of hypotension of consciousness, its causes, signs and possible treatment methods.

The causes of hypotension of consciousness can be varied. One of the most common causes is a lack of oxygen to the brain, which can be caused by cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, or other factors. Hypotension can also be caused by head injuries, infections, certain medications, alcohol or drugs.

The main signs of hypotension of consciousness are decreased understanding of the environment, inhibition of thought processes, drowsiness, decreased response to external stimuli, and impaired motor activity. Patients may experience difficulty concentrating, memory, and making decisions. In some cases, hypotension of consciousness can lead to loss of consciousness or coma.

The diagnosis of hypotension of consciousness is usually established based on an analysis of the patient's medical history, physical examination and additional laboratory and instrumental studies. This may include blood and urine tests, electroencephalography (EEG), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.

Treatment for hypotension depends on its cause and severity. In some cases, immediate medical attention may be required to ensure sufficient oxygenation of the brain and maintenance of vital functions. Treatment may include restoring normal breathing and circulation, correcting electrolyte abnormalities, and using medications to improve consciousness and stimulate brain activity.

After the crisis and stabilization of the patient's condition, rehabilitation therapy may be required to restore brain function and consciousness. This may include physical and speech therapy, psychological support, and training in compensatory strategies to improve the patient's quality of life.

In conclusion, hypotension of consciousness is a serious condition that requires medical intervention. Its symptoms can vary, and diagnosis is made based on a medical examination. Treatment of hypotension of consciousness is aimed at eliminating the cause and maintaining normal life functions. Rehabilitation therapy may be necessary to restore brain function and consciousness after a crisis. If you or someone you love is showing signs of hypotension, it is important to seek medical help for proper diagnosis and treatment.



Hippotension is a fairly common pathology in therapeutic practice. There are various classifications and diagnostic criteria for this disease. The concepts of “prehypertension”, “neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD)”, “autonomic dysfunction syndrome”, etc. are used. The clinical picture of neuroses is quite diverse, so it is important to identify a syndrome or group of syndromes. When treating patients with NCD and (
