What to do if you have poor circulation
It is important that you always remember that you are not treating values, but a person. If only the values ​​deviate from the norm, so by definition one Circulatory weakness exists, but the person concerned has no complaints, there is no need to treat. However, the exact opposite case can also occur, in which the values ​​are still within the normal range, but the typical symptoms of circulatory weakness are present and therefore the indication for treatment may be given.

In addition, one can consider wearing compression stockings to keep the blood flowing back into the heart is promoted and thus more blood from the heart back into brain can be pumped.
What else can you do about poor circulation?

If the circulatory weakness, as is usually the case, has no serious background, it does not actually need to be treated. However, if a person affected feels so severely impaired in their quality of life that they consider therapy to be necessary, usually very simple remedies will help them sufficiently. An important measure taken first as a “therapy for circulatory weakness” and also as a prophylactic measure is to ensure adequate hydration (at least two liters a day).
If you don't drink enough, your body will lack blood volume, which in itself can lead to decreased blood pressure and poor circulation.

There are also many home remedies that can be effective against low blood pressure:
Alternating showers (regular alternation of warm and cold water, whereby the shower should be finished with cold water), brush massages (towards the heart!), Sporting activities (preferably cycling or walking), a balanced diet, which should be salty, may help also relaxation techniques (such as yoga or autogenic training) in the long term to reduce stress; in addition, overworking and overworking of the body should be avoided if possible. For some, a cup of coffee or black tea helps to get the circulation going again.

The first thing you should try to do when facing someone with poor circulation is to calm them down so that there are no complications.

Only if the general measures do not bring about any improvement should therapy with medication be considered; it is never the first choice. The drug of choice then depends on the underlying cause of the circulatory weakness.
If other underlying diseases (such as hypothyroidism or cardiovascular diseases) are responsible for the low blood pressure, the basic therapy of these is of course in the foreground. Otherwise, various drugs can be used, most of which are aimed primarily at constricting the blood vessels and thereby increasing blood pressure. These include, for example, the sympathomimetics (e.g. etilefrine), derivatives of ergotamine (e.g. dihydroergotamine) or steroid hormones of the mineral corticoid type (e.g. fludrocortisone).
