Peculiarities of complaints among young women with idiopathic arterial hypotension

Abstract

Aim. To study the peculiar features of complaints among young women with idiopathic arterial hypotension (IAH) and determine their frequency. Materials and methods. Comparative analysis of complaints frequency between two groups of women aged 18–23 was carried out: the test group of patients, suffering from IAH (n = 210) with SAP 97 (92–98) mm Hg and the control group (n = 96) with normal arterial pressure with SAP 123 (121–125) mm Hg. Results. 58 % of women with IAH walk less than 5 km a day that is reliably more frequently compared to women with normal arterial pressure. Women with IAH, having moderate physical and emotional load, more often have complaints of dyspnea (25 %) and thoracic pains (40 %). When suffering from IAH, patients more often complain of pain in their legs, especially while walking (35 %), dizziness (38 %), pain and paleness of hand and leg fingers in cold (36 %); 12% of women with IAH have nocturia.
