oh wow i had this amp; still do...try to relax before bp reading
he should it is real. all he has to do is have you sit in his office for an hour before taking your blood pressure again, this happens to a lot of people.
Asthma is well known to cause pulmonary hypertension. Have you ever had any breathing issues? Shortness of breath, a feeling of tightness in your chest, chronic chest colds? If so you may want to ask about the possibility of asthma.
stress could have triggered this
Diet changes and lowering his stress levels will help. Lower his sodium intake and increasing his potassium intake will helps lower blood pressure, bananas are good sourc of potassium. There are some natural herbs that also help lower blood pressure, but they re slipping my mind right now check out a local health food store
Fresh fruits and veggies, nuts (natural, not salted), fish, especially salmon, olive oil, yogurt and whole grains are best. I also have high blood pressure and I have found that this works WONDERS. I also dropped about 50 pounds without trying after I went on this diet (another cause of high blood pressure is being overweight). Cut out junk food, sugar, salty foods, processed foods (such as packed products loaded with chemical preservatives). Just try to eat as natural as possible. If you think it s bland, think again! I enjoyed this diet immensely!
Don t bother with quack pseudo-science. Be very wary of things marketed as natural remedies . For information about these natural remedies look here (scroll to the section: Questionable Products, Services, and Theories ): **ADDITIONAL** Please use proper science; see additional references. Note that none of these sites say anything about so called natural remedies .
try some of the following,garlic,hawthorn berries,or omega three fish oils. Also,tell your friend to set aside a couple of hours a day for relaxing and meditation. I use candles and native american flute music to help me. Good luck
Your friend could try the OTC diuretics.
My mom used garlic to lower her blood pressure. She boil it and then ate it. Good Luck!!!
Don t sweat the small stuff. Stress is no good for your blood pressure. Eat less salt. I lowered my blood pressure from 143/90 to 112/70. I used to get excited about everything that wasn t the norm. I taught myself to see the good in any situation. Any good at all. THat was a start. I went to weight watchers. I lived on the frozen dinners and desserts until I dropped 10% of my weight. I use the Weight Watchers plan because it made me feel good. I started drinking water all the time. So much so that I crave it when I am thirsty. I eat yogurt once or twice a day because I like it. I have oatmeal with cinnamon almost every day. THe cinnamon kepts the cholestoerol level down and I believe it helps my blood pressure too. But that is me. With weight watchers I ate small amounts every two to three hours. It teaches you how to eat healthy. The weirdest thing was that two months ago I stopped using artifical sweeteners expect in diet soda. I just use a small teaspoon of sugar in my coffee and I only use enough on food to enhance the food. I put a teaspoon of fiber in my coffee and I also take a teaspoon of gelatin to help keep my joints from aching. Walking is a great way to feel good. I admit that if I eat something too salty I have to take an aspirin. THe main thing is don t jump into a huge program you won t finish. If you can try any of my tips and feel better I m glad. I too like to save money.
EXERCISE SWIMMING DRINKING ORANGE JUICE WITH PULP NON PULP WORKS AS WELL BUT THE PULP IS EFFICIANT, EATIING GREENS STAYING AWAY FROM SODIUM REFINED CARBS AND SUGARS
grapefriut every day or boiled garlic in goats milk. it may sound gross but garlic has tons of health benefits. my mah used it when she had a cold/cough and it inadvertedly helped her BP
Pray. Try it. It works.
For reduce blood pressure, reduce weight. eat food with high levels of potassium (fruits and vegetables) to reduce water retention, don t eat salt.
This may sound silly, but the more water you drink the more you will get rid of. Exercise is good for both high blood pressure and water retention. Diet will help with both also. Too much salty foods like chips and snacks will make you retain water. I hope this helps your friend.
Please visit www.QiGongDoctor.com , and look along the left column. Download (free) quot;Hot Water, Chinese Penicillinquot;, and also: quot;QiGong Breathingquot;. The hot water sets up a central core over-heat signal to the brain, which causes quot;global vaso-dilationquot;. Deep breathing helps to oxygenate the blood, and, in addition, allows blood flow to increase, allowing the heart to beat with less effort. End result, is: a slow drop in blood pressure (Over time and with patience, and practice) Try it - it works. Hot water and breathing. easy to do...big result... You can also practice the other links to FREE DOWNLOADABLE items on the same webpage for your general health and welfare. BTW: the hot water hydrates the body, and it tends to release excess water in the process. Re; the retention question. Dr. D.M. Smith, TCMD (China)
Karkade quot;KAR-kah-dayquot; is a sweet tea made from hibiscus flowers, notably the roselle variety. This beverage can be consumed hot or cold (with ice and a touch of lemon) and is known to have been a favorite of Ancient Egyptians. It is widely believed to have natural abilities to reduce high blood pressure. One may purchase Karkade at a local Middle-Eastern market. It is also consumed in Egypt, Mexico, and other parts of the world. Another helpful natural remedy for hypertension is a paste made from fresh garlic and olive oil. After making about two cups of the paste, store it in the freezer. Someone with high blood pressure would take a teaspoonful each morning from this paste and this may greatly help. The paste is kept in the freezer not only to preserve it, but also to help reduce the strong taste and odor. Additional and better known remedies include: Hawthorn, Passiflora incarnata, Guelder Rose bark, Ginkgo biloba, Buchu, Dandelion, and Olea europea. Drink water in moderation. Drinking too much water may actually increase (not lower) blood pressure. Avoid salt, or replace it by resorting to lemon and vinegar.
Actually you need to drink more water. The retention comes when you don t drink enough water so your body holds what it has. Also High blood pressure can be caused by an excessive amount of sodium in your blood. Water washes away any excess minerals your body may have, and helps your body absorb the rest better.
Yes. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, formally known as Primary pulmonary hypertension. Did you have a specific question?
Basically, the human body has 2 seperate blood circulation systems, one for the body, and one for the lungs. When the blood pressure gets too high in the lungs, pulmonary hypertension occurs. This causes a few different problems, mostly related to impaired gas exchange at the alveolar level, simply put, the lungs cannot absorb enough oxygen. Is this what you have going on? I see in your other thread you got supplemental oxygen, that will go along ways in protecting your organs like your heart and kidneys.........Best of luck, if you need anything else, please let me know.
Yes. I had it for years. What do you kneed to know? Email me and I will respond right back.
yes what do you need to know?
The name may lead you to believe it s in the lungs, but it s not. It s hypertension (high pressure) in the pulmonary artery. There is a lot more to it, but thought that explaining the name would be a start. EE
I suggest all natural OmegaGuard. This is an ultra pure pharmaceutical grade omega 3 s. Uses a state-of-the-art proprietary, low temperature, triple molecular distillation and purification process that concentrates natural beneficial omega 3 fatty acids and help remove harmful contaminants including heavy metals lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, dioxins and PCBs. OmegaGuard provides a full spectrum of seven natural omega 3 fatty acids -- EPA, DHA, ALA and more for cardiovascular health and to support healthy vision, brain and joint function. Ultra-pure marine lipid concentrate, mixed tocopherols (soy) concentrate in a gelatin capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water). I ve been taking this brand for several years. Since this may be considered an advertisement, if you would like to know the manufacturer or have questions, feel free to contact me.
Krill oil is the best and it does not result in fishy taste. Thorne Research brand is the purest but can only be provided by a licensed health care professional. Thorne does not sell retail to the public.
nature made is a brand that i get at walmart and i have been taking it for months.
You can ask their doctor for samples (and then a prescription) of an omega-3 called OmaCor. I take it and started after my heart attack. Its very expensive, and some insurance helps. But I would not just buy OTC for them without talking to their doctor first.
i have always heard that cod oil is awesome and really good for you. and nowadays you dont have to taste it anymore, it comes in capules.
Omacor is supposed to be the purest and highest quality. . .if you believe their drug representative.
I would be wary of Omacor the side effects are terrible after 6 weeks I experienced the following side effects, and a stay in the hospital, stopped taking it and all sysmptoms went away, My Dr. said that it was not possible until I showed him the following side effects --------------------------------------... Side Effects of This Medicine Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention. Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur: More common Arm, back or jaw pain; chest pain or discomfort; chest tightness or heaviness; difficult or labored breathing; fast or irregular heartbeat; nausea; shortness of breath; sweating; tightness in chest; wheezing Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, check with your doctor if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome. Less common Back pain; bad unusual or unpleasant (after)taste; belching; bloated full feeling; change in taste; chills; cough; diarrhea; excess air or gas in stomach; fever; general feeling of discomfort or illness; headache; hoarseness; joint pain; loss of appetite; lower back or side pain; muscle aches and pains; pain; painful or difficult urination; rash; runny nose; shivering; sore throat; sweating; trouble sleeping; unusual tiredness or weakness; vomiting
At , it states, quot;Macular degeneration damages and destroys the central vision of up to one in three Americans in their lifetime and has no known cause or cure.quot; It states quot;no known causequot; and there s a very good reason for it. I do not have macular degeneration... however, you might consider reading my post at may sound too impossible, but there s been a serious flaw at the base of optometry research. You need to read this to get an idea of what has happened. If you want to see what actually happened 85 years ago, read my post dated February 21, 2007 @ 10:59 am at has to see this in a historical and cultural context to understand it in its entirety. I know those are pretty long reads, but they are crucial to understanding what s actually going on at the top levels of science. The leading optometrist at the highly selective Columbia University 85 years ago made a nearly 180 degree turn after 15 years of following optometry doctrine when he found something wrong with a theory from 1855. This theory has kept our doctors from uncovering the truth. This man s name was William Bates. He found that he could reverse not only refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, and so on) but serious eye diseases like blindness, cataracts, macular degeneration, and so many other things. The theory by itself changes everyone s understanding regarding what causes refractive errors and diseases of the eye. Even some modern optometrists (including a Director of Ophthalmologist at New York Medical College) have explicitly stated that Helmholtz s theory has prevented discovery of errors. I don t know the statistics regarding macular degeneration, but if you think there might even be an ounce of truth to what I m saying, you can look at my posts and perhaps help yourself by reversing macular degeneration. To learn more about the Bates Method, you can look at ... start by reading the description on the main page. You can also post at the forums if you have any questions regarding how this method can apply to macular degeneration.

Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver tissue. This can be caused by hepatitis as well as a bunch of other reasons...check out this wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrhosis
Any number of factors-viral, chemical, bacterial,parasitic infections(i.e- schistosomiasis-a worm infestation), glycogen storage problems(unregulated diabetes), very high fat diets, gall bladder disease/obstruction, force feeding(in humans, like the way pate is made from duck livers)-yes, most doctors insist only drugs and alcohol. She should have her liver enzymes and fecal/blood microscopic studies to determine the exact cause. Visit naturescorner.com, my website.
can be from other chemicals,viruses,diseases just something that happens in some people
It can t be cirrhosis. You have misunderstood what has been said. Cirrhosis comes after many years of heavy drinking.If there is no liver damage then no cirrhosis.
Other than drugs or alcohol. The biggest contributing factor of Cirrhosis is Hepatitis. She may have been exposed on the job if she works in a heath field or from contact with blood or contaminated foods. The liver and kidneys do a wonderful job at filtering out toxins in our body and if she isn t putting more toxins back in it s most likely due to a pathogen like Hepatitis. Also a key sign of hepatitis will be jaundice a yellowish color to the skin and eye. Keep in mind that just 3,500 mg of acetometaphin quot;tylenolquot; starts irreversible liver damage.
the body is weird i mean i drank loads of beer every day for 5 years after and durring my late teens and early twenties and my liver is fine , also i have a friend who drinks every day for almost 20 years and his liver is good. Then there are people who take care of them selves and they have liver problems, i think genetics play a big part in this . also your mom may have high blood pressure from stress , or poor diet and also bad genetics , if it runs in the family you may get it , but there are medications for this.
liver damage can come from many things including over the counter headache and pain medicines.
Angiotensin II is a natural substance in your body that affects your cardiovascular system in many ways, such as by narrowing your blood vessels. This narrowing can increase your blood pressure and force your heart to work harder. Angiotensin II also stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that increases your body s retention of sodium and water, which can lead to increased blood pressure. It can also thicken and stiffen the walls of your blood vessels and heart. Angiotensin II receptor blockers block the action of angiotensin II which allows blood vessels to widen (dilate). Angiotensin II receptor blockers are similar to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. But while angiotensin II receptor blockers block the ACTION of angiotensin II, ACE inhibitors block the actual PRODUCTION of angiotensin II. Since ARBs medication effects are similar to those of ACE inhibitors, they are often used when an ACE inhibitor can not be tolerated by patients. Unlike the ACE inhibitors, angiotensin blockers do not cause a cough as a side effect. These are often substituted for ACE inhibitors when a cough develops in someone who is otherwise benefitting from the ACE inhibitor. They can either help or adversely affect kidney function and raise the potassium level just as ACE inhibitors may do. They have an antiinflammatory effect on the walls of the blood vessels. Calcium channel blockers are a class of drugs that block the entry of calcium into the muscle cells of the heart and the arteries. It is the entry of calcium into these cells that causes the heart to contract and arteries to narrow. By blocking the entry of calcium, CCBs decrease contraction of the heart and dilate (widen) the arteries. This helps to lower the blood pressure. Under special circumstances, your doctor might prescribe a calcium channel blocker along with other high blood pressure drugs. I don t know if this answer helps, but I couldn t find information to answer all your questions. I would suggest asking a pharmacist your questions, they should be able to answer them. They have access to specific drug information and they know how to interpret the information that they have. They can give you the actions, side effects, which drugs can be taken together without interacting, and which ones would be contraindicated in somebody with renal disease. They can also tell you if special precautions need to be taken if one drug is switched with another. I would also suggest talking to your father; see if he would ask the doctor about your concerns if you wrote them down for him. A good physician should be willing to answer these types of questions. Good luck.
That sounds like a question only a doctor can really answer.
hypertension comes with an increase of heart beat rate, it causes high blood pressure as a number one symptom. now the high blood pressure causes arterial and vaineous pressure on your cranial arteries and veins this will definitely cause severe headaches. now the doctor will prescribe the best medication for you to reduce your blood pressure to normal values. those medications vary according to the condition that causes the hypertension in the first place. but from now until you see the doctor you can use magnesium supplement to relief stress. and it can noticeably help with blood pressure. magnesium doesn t have any known side effects except for high doses might cause diarrhea. but you to see the doctor for an accurate blood pressure treatment. because it might be your heart
its hard to tell if you have high blood pressure based upon those two readings, it depends when you took them, was it after physical activity, if so you blood pressure will be up. You might want to get a blood pressure monitor or stop in your local pharmacy and monitor your pressure for the next week. I can also tell you that a severe sinus infection will also give you a headache and pain medicine won t get rid of it, you need antibiotics.... been there done that and been to the emergency room. Loose all the salt, it s not good for you,.... Also go get a physical.
High blood pressure can certainly cause headaches. My husband had awful headaches for a long time. He finally went to the Dr and was diagnosed with HBP. They prescribed him some medicine, and within a day, the blood pressure was back to normal, and his headaches were gone. The things you can do until you get to a Dr are , try to stay calm, and relax.
drink like v8s fruit juice and make sure its got banannas in it and eat banannas also that will bring down high bp. you could have some anxiety somewere.
I had anxiety headaches before... I got rid of them with medication like xanax...
I would seek medical advice
Lodoz is the brand name of a medicine called bisoprolol. It belongs to a group of drugs called betablockers. While they do bring the blood pressure down, one of their side effects is reduction in pulse (heart) rate. It is possible that the pulse rate may be even lower than 50 while you are asleep. In patients with low heart rate, we avoid betablockers. Also we generally prefer not to give betablockers to sexually active males since they can cause erectile dysfunction. The drug of choice in your case will be an ACE inhibitor such as enalapril 5mg sold under the brand names of BQL (by Cadila Healthcare) or Enam (by Dr. Reddys Lab). The first dose is always 2.5mg; subsequently most people stabilize at 5-10 mg daily. If you have got hypertension, reduce fat and oils in your diet. Please note that I am not a medical professional. Please see the web pages for more details on Bisoprolol (generic name) Lodoz (brand name) and Hypertension.
u have to check ur heart conditon and weight suger level u can view this web site
Yes, it could be very good as it is a form of massage but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
The only reason I can really think of is that life just isn t fair. You can try to make it fair, and you might succeed sometimes, but over all, life is not fair. I feel sorry for you and your mother, and if you believe in a heaven, and if she was a good person, then she will go there.
After reading your details, you turned your question into a very different direction. I just have to say do all you can now, but if her time is really up, there is surely nothing much to be too upset about since she is clearly going to heaven :) Rock on, my girl. Report Abuse
The answer is simple. There is good in everyone. It is always going to seem that good people die young because im sure even the worst of people have someone who think of them as the greatest person ever. By the way im very sorry about your mom and i truly do hope she will be ok.
go to askwomen.com this site can help you out. good luck.
epinephrine. They probably would intubate the person too.
The diabetes in and of itself doesn t cause BP fluctuations. Having diabetes over time does greatly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events, so perhaps it was a stroke, and the stroke caused the dip in BP? Fluctuating BP is caused by a number of things, but not diabetes per se.
Yes it can and it does in sensitive subjects, I think you need to explain the situation to your parents, tell your physician about this situation, and persuade him to have a family council as early as possible. There are lots of complications, so the earlier the better.
yes, obesity can cause hypertension. Also there can be a familial link (does mom or dad have hypertension?) And yes, social stress can also cause hypertension as you feel like you are in a constant fight/flight mode. My suggestion? Lose weight, move out and away from your parents, keep taking meds. Good luck!
No to both. Stress will cause a temporary elevation of the systolic (but not diastolic) blood pressure, but not a sustained elevation. People who have a predisposition to hypertension generally need to watch their sodium intake, and that s a general recommendation because you never know, to be sure, but a small minority of the population can scarf down huge amounts of salt without ill effect. It s a complicated, multifactorial problem without easy answers for the most part. (It s relatively rare, but there are some causes of hypertension like renal aretery stenosis and pheochromocytoma that fit into yet another category).
Hypertension runs in families and I believe that is a genetic predisposition for it. I have blood pressure problems because my mom does and her parents did too. As far as stress, it is a factor, as is your weight. You are a 21 year old and maybe what you need to do is distance yourself from your parents and show them that you are capable of taking care of yourself. Some parents forget that children grow up and do not want their opinions, nagging or pressure. It can be hard to do when you are constantly being told that you can t do anything or that anything you do is wrong. I wish you the best.
In my humble opinion she should not be on beta blockers and her doctor is wrong. I also think she should not have been on Amlodipine either Beta blockers were withdrawn in UK some years ago because they were killing so many patients. But they don t only kill patients with so-called hypertension, they also kill people with impaired cardiac function too. If you wish to find out more then Google quot;N.I.C.E. Guidelines on Beta blockers in Hypertensionquot; and also read up the work of Dr. Devereaux in Canada on the deaths of post-cardiac op. patients. It s truly frightening.
blood pressure is fluctuating with the time of day as in normal person also, so this BP(140/70, 110/70) is all normal BP. you have to measure BP every alternate day at same time so better you will know. don t measure BP at home with digital instrument it is not ideal it may give wrong and fluctuating reading. always measure BP with mercury BP instrument it will give correct result. and the symptom described it may be the symptom of menopause (as age is 49) so consult gynaec doctor fot that.
Repetitive blood pressure readings from the same arm are inaccurate. Blood pressure can vary between arms.
For starters, stop taking her blood pressure all the time, it doesn t need to be monitored that frequently. There will always be an adjustment period when changing to a new medication. Atenolol is a beta blocker and sometimes a medicine causes unwanted effects. These are called side effects. Not all of the side effects for beta-blockers are listed here. If you feel these or any other effects, you should check with your doctor. Common side effects: * Drowsiness or fatigue. * Cold hands and feet. * Weakness or dizziness. * Dry mouth, eyes, and skin. Less common side effects: * Wheezing, trouble breathing, or shortness of breath. * Slow heartbeat. * Trouble sleeping or vivid dreams while asleep. * Swelling of the hands and feet. Rare side effects: * Abdominal cramps. * Throwing up. * Diarrhea. * Constipation. * Back or joint pain. * Skin rash. * Sore throat. * Depression. * Memory loss, confusion, or hallucinations. * Impotence. Again, tell your doctor right away if you have any of these side effects. Do not stop taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to. If you stop taking your medicine without checking with your doctor, it can make your condition worse. Hope this helps.... Cheers

Good question. I lowered my hypertension and got off of my medication by adding a natural and healthy energy drink and a natural and healthy super juice into my life

lol long story short for the copy and pasters, it is higher than normal blood pressure in the pulmonary artery
primary means the cause or reason for it is unknown. nd pulmonary hypertension is havin high blood pressure in the arteries supplyin blood to ur lungs. the normal blood pressure is 14mmHg i think
Primary, or unexplained, pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare lung disorder in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels for no apparent reason. The pulmonary artery is the blood vessel carrying oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle, one of the pumping chambers of the heart, to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and then flows to the left side of the heart, where it is pumped by the left ventricle to the rest of the body through the aorta. Hypertension is the medical term for an abnormally high blood pressure. Normal mean pulmonary-artery pressure is approximately 14 mmHg at rest. In the PPH patient, the mean blood pressure in the pulmonary artery is greater than 25 mmHg at rest and 30 mmHg during exercise. This abnormally high pressure (pulmonary hypertension) is associated with changes in the small blood vessels in the lungs, resulting in an increased resistance to blood flowing through the vessels. This increased resistance, in turn, places a strain on the right ventricle, which now has to work harder than usual against the resistance to move adequate amounts of blood through the lungs. Incidence The true incidence of primary pulmonary hypertension is unknown. The first reported case occurred in 1891, when E. Romberg, a German doctor, published a description of a patient who, at autopsy, showed thickening of the pulmonary artery but no heart or lung disease that might have caused the condition. In 1951, when 39 cases were reported by Dr. D.T. Dresdale in the United States, the illness received its name.
Background: Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare disease characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure with no apparent cause. PPH is also termed precapillary pulmonary hypertension or, more recently, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). The diagnosis is usually made after excluding other known causes of pulmonary hypertension. Dresdale and colleagues first reported a hemodynamic account of IPAH in 1951. Pathophysiology: The pathophysiology of IPAH is poorly understood. An insult (eg, hormonal, mechanical, other) to the endothelium may occur, possibly in the setting of increased susceptibility to pulmonary vascular injury (ie, multiple hit theory), resulting in a cascade of events characterized by vascular scarring, endothelial dysfunction, and intimal and medial (smooth muscle) proliferation. At least 15-20% of patients with IPAH have a familial form, which has only recently been characterized. Some cases may be related to sporadic genetic defects. The most common genetic defect in these cases is related to the BMPR-II gene. Early in the disease, as the pulmonary artery pressure increases because of increasing right ventricle work, thrombotic pulmonary arteriopathy occurs. Thrombotic pulmonary arteriopathy is characterized by in situ thrombosis of small muscular arteries of the pulmonary vasculature. In later stages, as the pulmonary pressure continues to rise, plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy develops. This is characterized by a remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature with intimal fibrosis and replacement of normal endothelial structure.
i think you re referring to something that leads to pulmonary edema. it may be caused by CHF (congestive heart failure), which is when the left atrium, the chamber of the heart that receives blood from the lungs, is backed up for some reason or other, perhaps due to valvular stenosis or left-sided heart failure. pulmonary blood pressure increases and pushes fluid back into the lungs, often causing wheezing, dyspnea (trouble breathing), and sputum. hope my studies in pathophysiology came in useful.

they say all the drugs do not work, and its dangerous. i think, im pretty right bout this.
Check with your doctor before making any change to your medication. In general, you blood pressure declines at night when you are sleeping. So it makes since to take the tablet in the morning so the drug blood levels are higher during the day. If you are experiencing side effects like dizziness during the morning it might help to spread the dose out. Check with your doctor.
In theory, it would make no difference if you took half the daily dosage at two different times, but the bigger question is WHY? If you are experiencing symptoms of low blood pressure (dizziness or feeling faint on standing) then you might need a different dosage entirely. Atenolol is a beta blocker that not only lowers blood pressure but reduces the workload of the heart. Lower blood pressure means less resistance to the pumping action of the heart. Beta blockers also slow the heart rate, and just as walking slowly is less work than running, this eases the workload of the heart. Atenolol, unlike some other beta blockers that your doctor could prescribe, lasts for 24 hours. It is convenient for many patients to take only one dose per day, and that is probably why your doctor wants you on this particular medication. Before changing your medication, ESPECIALLY one so important to your heart, you must ask your doctor and explain why you wish to do so.
No. Or Yes. Depending on what you believe to begin with. Your condition is psychosomatic. You need no medication. Stop taking your meds.
atenolol is a beta blocker.. a class of anti hypertensive drugs... if the prescrebed dose for a person is 50 mg.. it means that it would take 50 mg for that drug to have an effect on you.. so its, useless if you split the drug in half.. change in bp levels?? hmm.. it might.. but it may not be that potent to lower the bp to the desired range
Alcohol consumption can definitely lead to hypertension. There are recommendations to only drink two drinks daily if any.
Yes it does.
actually it s the scarring of the liver that reduces blood flow that causes hypertension in alcoholics.
The short answer is no. Hypertension amp; diabetes often are found in the same patients, but one doesn t cause the other. There are many causes of hypertension, including an adrenalin secreting tumor, narrowing of the renal (kidney) arteries, etc. Most commonly, there is no clear cause. Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes develops when your body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or when your pancreas produces some, but not enough, insulin to maintain a normal glucose level.
No.Definitely not. But if both are present Hypertension will be increasing due to diabetes complications.
I agree with the other responses...No, hypertension (high blood pressure) does not cause diabetes. Many diabetic patients, such as myself, do suffer from high blood pressure along with diabetes. The two definitely go hand-in-hand, so to speak, but one does not cause the other. Both diabetes and hypertension are largely caused by genetics / family history. Talk to your healthcare team for more information.
change medicine, their are many choices of B.P. meds, I had to change amp; now the cough doesn t wake me up anymore.
I have never heard of this side effect of hypertension meds??? What are you on? I am on Catapres and Lopressor and I don t have any cough symptoms. Either does anyone else I know.
some of the anti hypertensive medications can cause cough as an adverse effect, normally in that case the medication need to be changed. Now there are so many different choices of antihypertensives, hence you should bring the symptoms of cough to your physician so the right medication be given. Its usually the ACE Inhibitors that cause cough. Take advantage of the advances in the field of medicine. : )

Once the person starts suffering from high blood pressure the risk of blocked arteries which lead to heart attacks and strokes is great. The best thing is to start as soon as possible to avoid the blockage of the brain and heart arteries and veins. This was impossible and people had to face dangerous surgeries and or premature death. Thank God there is now a wonderful product which helps prevent heart attacks, help stabilize blood pressure, helps lower cholesterol, helps unclog arteries, helps improve circulation, helps improve memory, helps stop angina pain and helps the heart stay healthy. The products is called heart and Body extract. You can find information on this100% natural product at www.heartandbodyextract.com/ra8028 Read the many testimonials of people who have been recovered from cardiovascular deseases as congestive heart failure, enlarged hearts, high blood pressure and more. I hope this information be a blessing for you and others. hazelcat
I have hypertension, depression (bipolar), anxiety, arthritis,,, mitral valve prolapse, reflux. So we have a few in common.
Sorry Buddy!! Here are some good ideas: 1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming. 2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State. 3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating. 4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself) 5. Stop smoking, drinking beer amp; wine, and drinking coffee. 6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night. 7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy. 8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup. Tone up the muscles: 1. Join a gym and get a trainer. 2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching amp; yoga regimen. 3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body. 4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike 5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class. 6. Join the local YMCA.. Mental Health: 1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings. 2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to. 3. Learn how to meditate. 4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with. 5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance. 6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings amp; thoughts. 7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night. 8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative. 9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
She and her Dr. have already discussed their plan; she will have to change her diet,and begin to exercise but it has to be under the Dr.guidence. If you start to pay attention you ll beable to tell when her pressure is rising. My Mom got crabby and her face and ears would begin to turn red. We made alot of changes,she never was cured,but she got it under control. You can only help and be a work out buddy...Moms hate being told what they quot;needquot; to do; they turn red.(Really)
Panic attacks take a long time to cure. If she can talk have her explain when the depression was before it began and what triggers the panic today.
the cure lies between your mother and her doctor
Jesus is the blessed healer. The Bible says that Jesus took all sin and suffering on himself. quot;By his stripes, I am healedquot;. Your Mom needs to pray, believing, that Jesus took all disease on himself. She must ask for healing, then let Jesus exchange healing for her pain. She must RECEIVE her healing as she would receive a gift. Reach out and receive it. It belongs to her. Once she has received healing, she needs to go to her doctor to have him examine her again. gt;lt;gt;?lt;gt;lt;
Your mother can treat herself. Modifiable factors are the key players in hypertension. Have your mother consider consuming a diet low in sodium and saturated fats. This includes: canned foods, processed foods, pre-cooked meals, animal fat, butter, rich gravies, fried foods, fat milk, fast food, etc. She should consider eating a diet high in fortified foods like oatmeal, bran cereal, cheerios, grits, wheat bread, etc. Fortified foods help reduce cholesterol (a fatty acid found only in animal meat that plays a major role in arterial plaque build-up). She should also consider performing aerobic exercises 3-4x/wk, such as walking, to increase her High-density lipoproteins levels and decrease her Low-density lipoprotein levels. A sedentary lifestyle is a big role in hypertension. If these things don t work, medications such as Beta-blockers, Ace-inhibitors, or Statins may be prescribed from her physician to decrease her blood pressure to optimal levels. Just remember, your mother is the key player here. What she does for herself is what will determine the results.
Thank you for the votes. It s a very novel Question, so I ve starred it. Report Abuse
I used to take an ACE inhibitor with hydrochlorothiazide that regulated my blood pressure quite well. This past year, it started going up gradually until I got to 160/100. My doc switched my meds to Diovan HCT. It lowered my systolic pressure slightly, but did not lower my diastolic pressure at all. I had no side effects, but I was only on it for a month. Now I m trying isradipine (calcium channel blocker). Hope this works for you!
I was diagnosed with borderline hypertension this past year at 60. It was the diastolic (bottom #) that was a bit higher.. So right away my doctor perscribes DIOVAN.. Took it as directed, and a month later my pressure was still the same, no different.. Another month, and same. And, I have an HMO and pay 1/2 for all my perscriptions. Diovan has no generic for it and it s very expensive. On the 3rd month, I asked the doc if she could switch me to another drug, that would be generic and less expensive.. Of course she could! I m now on a beta blocker and my pressure has been in the normal range ever since. I believe that the drug companies who s salesmen visit the docs with their meds, push the doctors to perscribe their drugs first.. Maybe a kickback? Who knows, but long and short, Diovan is expensive and didn t work at all for me.. No side effects from it but then I wasn t on it very long.. Hope my answer helps with your ? :-) Joanie
I also used Diovan HCT for close to a year...with no significant results. My blood pressure pretty much stayed the same. 150/90...give or take a few points. Im no longer on it and feel much better..overall..It always made me feel tired and gave me a terrible dry cough.... Currently trying out different alternative supplements to see what works. ... this along with exercising and watching what I eat. .....I would have stayed on it .. if it worked!
I know my sister-in-laws cousin had pulmonary hypertension from this......her 3 daughters each received a million dollar settlement in the class action case showing the diet pills caused her death Hope for the best for your family
Blood pressure for teens: A blood pressure level of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high. If blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, (this is the same as an adult) it’s called prehypertension, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. Prehypertension means that you don t have high blood pressure now but are likely to develop it in the future. This condition also increases your risk of developing the known complications of high blood pressure. Click on this link to learn more about teens with borderline high blood pressure, etc. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/...
General rule of thumb is 90 + age for young adults. Thats for the systolic (upper number)
I would say that it was slightly high, but not anything serious enough to need urgent treatment. You should see a doctor to get some medication.
This 140/90 for you at age of 15 is surely high and you should get evaluated for any kidney disease as nearly 30% of the people who is suffering high \BP the kidney is to blame ! In few of my patient there is no second kidney at they came to know it accidently when they were subjected for x ray of the abdomen for other disease !! So absence of one kidney and infentile kidney or some other diseaase of the kidney also give rise this high BP and if you have genetic heriditary history than also it may happen ! Any way but one thing is sure that you shold not be kept without treatment and for to treat you some final tests should also be done to understand the nature of the high BP ! please do not neglet it as high BP is the firast number silent killer of the whole world !Alwasy YouRsmE
That all depends on the symptoms the patients experiences and the conditions that may contribute to the pah. Frequently, pah is secondary to other conditions (many auto-immune, COPD) In that case, treatment is focused on the primary condition. In rare cases, there is no reason for the pah to occur. Publicized literature states a poor prognosis of 2-5 years after diagnosis, but there have been huge advances in medical treatment and new medications. I also have stage 3 pah and have many friends who are 15-25 years post diagnosis thanks to medicines such as remodulin, flolan. check out www.phassociation.com or www.phcentral.com
I think hyper means high in latin or something like hypo means low, So that word was derived by High tension. This is from the botttom of my memory back in my nurse training days so may be totally wrong LOl
As A matter of fact I was doing a First aid course yesterday and the affix Hyper came up prior to any word it means High so hypertension means high tension in the veins thus causing narrowing of the veins and more pressure within them . I suffer from High blood pressure too. Latest thing cut down on salt , not easy with manufactured foods . Try lo- Salt from the supermarket contains two thirds potassium which helps deter the sodium overload .
Yes.
yes without a doubt
yes.... yes, it can create huge problem mentally and physically Massage is very helpful for the whole body as it relieves stress and improves blood circulation.

Oil massage has been in practice for thousand of years and it is not a new way to stay healthy. http://stress-reduction4.blogspot.com/
I had a patient once who came in with a cocaine overdose. His systolic (higher #) was higher than 300 -- that s the highest our monitors could read, and his was higher than that. His diastolic was 220. His B/P readings corelated both by art line and cuff. We put him on a drug called Nipride and lowered it, and when the cocaine wore off, his pressure returned to normal. He survived with no bad effects, but he s the exception, not the rule...
I checked the Internet and couldn t find any records for highest blood pressure reading. I remember watching a show on it stating if you go from a sauna and jump into a lake with cold or freezing cold temperature your blood pressure could spike as high as 300 or higher. This one man did that and an aneurysm in his brain bust and he died form that. Maybe the blood pressure cuff they were using wasn t long enough to go completely around his arm and give a proper reading. Uncontrolled hypertension eventually takes a great toll on the body.
I am not sure how high it quot;can goquot; but I know that one day I wasn t feeling really well and I knew my BP was out of control so I went to see my doc and mine was 250/130. He told me that was a record for him in his practice and put some meds in me right away! He monitored me with an EKG, nearly constant BP readings and asked me if I was sure I didn t have a headache and told me if it didn t go down during the next hour he would have to send me to the hospital. Thankfully it dropped to a much safer level. The risk of stroke was far to high. I now take BP meds daily
This highest that we can read it on a meter is 300. Normal BP is 120/80....But I have seen people with 240/180 etc and they are walking talking fine, then the next with that BP you can just look at them and tell they are sick... Jenn
The maximum pressure which the human left ventricle can generate is about 300 mm Hg.
if you need medication for your hypertension, i would most definitely consult with my doctor. you do not self medicate with something as important as hypertension.
hey,if you are a patient of hypertension,don t even think of self medication....you can try following tips for better health 1) yoga and meditation(daily) 2) laugh, as much as you can(daily) 3) go on walk(daily) 4) talk to friends. hope you ll feel better
Phillip...you need to grow up. This person has a serious ilness and you make a laughing joke about it. It is no joke.

If you log into msn.com (net) you can create a chat room for this subject.
not sure of any chat rooms...but FYI there are several drugs on the market for treating pulmonary hypertension, while they may not offer a cure, they do help with the symptoms. do some research on a drug called Flolan and also on viagra, yes that s right, viagra...studies show that it can help with the symptoms of pulmonary HTN
i don t know what to say...find your answer here: http://www.enrgworks.com/ch/
This is probably too obscure to have a chat room but if you re interested in a support group, you may have more luck finding one of those.
I don t know of any chat rooms. But you could try www.medscape.com or www.webmd.com You should be able to find an on line chat room or group for your problem. Also try a goggle search. Also please take the advise your doctor gives you, and take any medications that may be prescribed to you. So that your problem does not get more serious. Good luck.
I just got anal warts, I m Asian, and like outdoors and coffee. Is there a chat room for that?
i don t think pulmonary hypertension is classified as a disease, it s more of a symptom of either a lung problem or right heart failure.
Look here board here room here http://www.phassociation.org/Chat/

It s hypotension when you experience the temporary blindness, and maybe hypertension that induced it. You got off your bed, and experience what they call orthostatic or postural hypotension. It happens when you change your posture suddenly from lying to standing. Blood that have been accumulated in the upper part of your body suddenly fall down to the lower part of the body, thus explaining the sudden blindness. Hypertension exacerbates this effect due to increased blood pressure causing higher rate of blood falling down during postural change. But from your age, I personally think it s probably because of the long sleep. :)
You may have Hypertention because :Hypertension is a condition characterized by above normal blood pressure. High blood pressure exists when the systolic pressure exceeds 140 mmHg or the diastolic pressure exceeds 90 mmHg. Causes of hypertension include sympathetic nerve activity that constricts blood vessels, too much salt in the diet or reabsorption of sodium ion from the kidneys, and artherosclerosis. This includes eye damage
Hypotension, I had the exact same symptoms: I blacked out, nausea, pale, sweaty, trembling, and faintness. I was diagnosed with low blood pressure. If that happens just try to lay down on your side, that works.
Hypo-Not enough Hyper-Too much I would say Hypotension Low blood pressure Symptoms: Dizziness, blurry vision, confusion, weakness, and nausea Go see a doctor Good luck hope you get better
hypertension does not give you any signs. That is why it is called the silent death Talk to yours parents and tell them to take you to the doctor. Could be something worse.
Low blood sugar.
In terms of stroke/heartattack, high blood pressure leads to vascular damage over time, which along with other mechanisms causes sclerotic vessels, and eventual thrombus (clots) leading to strokes/heart attacks As well, the effort by the left side of the heart to maintain high pressures causes the muscular wall to become big and bulky. Unfortunately this does not equate to a stronger heart but actually a weaker one (very stiff), and this eventually leads to heart failure.
hypertension could lead you to a heart attack because the bloodpresure is at the highest bit and could lead you to that but you can avoid that by taking organic pills of nutrilite which are, quot;doubel x, omega3 complex, garlic heart, natural b complex, coenzyme q10 all those can help you against heart attack or heart failure, the website is jcalvo2.qhealthbeauty.com they are number 1 in the world of health and beauty i recomend them
see this amp; open diabetes amp; hypertension are silent killers
Google for hypertension and heart attacks
How about doing something about the causes as well as attacking the symptoms. There is a tonne of info out there on beating this problem naturally, of course consult your doctor first. Take a look at these links, good luck!
Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood pumped by the heart, and the size and condition of the arteries. Many other factors can affect blood pressure, including volume of water in the body; salt content of the body; condition of the kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels; and levels of various hormones in the body. Please comply with doctor s advice regarding medicine, diet and exercise. Please see the webpages for more details on Hypertension.
Don`t worry, you will be alright. As, you have mentioned, stress is on one of the reasons for high platelet count. There are many other causes stipulated for the higher platelet count. Infection, soon after surgery, Injuryamp;trauma,certain type of inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid disease, certain types of drugs like chemotherapy drugs and certain type of cancer are all atributed to the higher platelet count. Person , who had their spleen removed also have high platelet count. Because spleen act as a quot;slaughter housequot; for blood cells including platelets. If you are a smoker, it aggravate the platelet aggregation. Irrespective of causes mentioned, people with higher platelet counts are vulnerable to develop blood clots and bruises. Make sure that, you are taking adequate amount of fluids, keep yourself mobile and wear compressive stockins. Get it checked with your doctor again and if, the problem is persistant, your doctor may order further investigations and put you in blood thinning drugs to prevent the formation of blood clots. Hope, this helps. Regards,
First of all, when tested for a platelet count, it is important that you know the function of them. It is a count of the number of platelets ( thrombocytes) per cubic millimeter of blood. This test is usually done of patients who develop small hemorrhages in the skin ( petechiae), spontaneous bleeding, or increasingly heavy periods. It is also used to perform the course of a disease or therapy for ( low platelets) or bone marrow failure. Increased levels: 1) Iron deficiency anemia 2) rheumatoid arthritis 3) Problems with the spleen 4) Malignant disorder 5) Polycythemia vera ( a rare disorder of the bone marrow that develops in people over 40 ) I am hopeful that if you have/had any of the above, you were aware of the potential causes. I hope that this helps.
Essential (primary) thrombocytosis may develop as a result of: 1- essential thrombocytosis (a form of myeloproliferative disease) 2- other myeloproliferative disorders such as chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis Secondary thrombocytosis may develop as a result of: 1- acute hemorrhage or infection 2- anemia 3- arthritis and other chronic inflammations 4- cancer 5- exercise 6- iron deficiency 7- medication 8- csteoporosis 9- removal of the spleen (splenectomy) 10- polycythemia vera (a disorder affecting other red blood cells, as well as platelets) 11- surgery 12- STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
DX - diagnosis RX - prescriptions/medications HX - history (probably like family history which increases your chance of developing high blood pressure, or social history which means lifestyle that increases your chance like alcoholism and poor diet) These are the usually meanings for these abreviations. There is plenty of information about hypertension (aka high blood pressure) out there. Google it and you should get more than enough info
The term blood pressure means the pressure or force of blood being pushed through your blood vessels. The top reading (systolic) is the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart is working, and the bottom reading is the pressure when your heart is resting.Therefore it is the bottom figure which is most important here. Normal blood pressure in an adult is 110 - 130(top reading) over 60 - 80(bottom reading) The heart pumps blood throughout your body initially via the aorta which divides and sub divides into arteries then into capillaries which feed the organs of your body with oxygen. The arteries are elastic and can expand as well as constrict. The wider they are the easier it is for the blood to pass through them,so the pressure in them will be lower. The narrower they become the harder the heart has to work to get the required amount of blood around your bode, so with the force of the blood pumping, the pressure rises. This can be caused by so many things.In 90 - 95% of patients with hypertension there is no known cause. It is important to remember that there are millions of people walking aroun in the world who have had high blood pressure for years and don t know it. Something as simple as stress can cause it.It does not necessarily mean that there is an underlying problem. The fact that medication has reduced the pressure as much as it has means that it is controllable, and that is good. If you are worried about the cause ask your GP for a blood test to determine the function of various organs. However it is my personal opinion that the underlying cause is nothing major otherwise medication would not have had such a dramatic effect. Good luck with it and I hope you have it back to normal very soon. Love Mel.
You will find lots of conflicting information on the internet. One thing that is very important is to follow your doctor s instructions and take any meds he/she prescribes. If you ever consider taking any alternate therapies, you should be very cautious about self-prescribing. High blood pressure is caused by abnormal resistance in your arterioles (the smaller branches of your arteries). The cause of this abnormality is unknown in 95% of people with the condition. Hypertension runs in some families, is equally common in men and women, is more common in blacks than whites, and risk increases with age. For a handy blood pressure log to record your readings there is a link on this page: is also a link to good selection of BP monitors. Doctors recommend the type with arm cuff NOT the wrist or finger types. Other pages on this site have excellent information on successfully living with heart disease including diet, exercise, stress reduction and so on. Just remember to discuss things with your doctor! Good luck!
hypertension is a very deadly disease. there are lifestyle changes that you need to make. taking meds alone is not sufficient. your BP is still high. here is a link that can educate you about the dangers of high blood pressure and how you can use natural steps to lower your blood pressure http://www.beatinghypertension.com/natur...
This Patient Guide is written for the loved ones of heart patients who are dealing with the short-term stress that comes with a test, procedure or recent diagnosis of heart disease. It explains why support is so important to a loved one with heart disease. It also offers practical strategies on how to support a loved one while also taking care of yourself.
Lose weight.
I don t, but my dad does. They first diagnosed it on a heart catheterization (done because he had developed heart failure and they wanted to see why), but it has also been seen on echocardiograms done since then.
I agree with the first answer!
There are two types of sleep apnea. There is centralized sleep apnea in which the brain forgets to tell the body to breathe. Secondly, there is obstructive sleep apnea, the most common of the two, it is caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the back of the throat blocks the airway causing the obstruction. What happens when someone continuously does not breathe or is unable to get oxygen into the lungs is that the oxygen level in the blood drops. When this happens, the brain tells the heart to work harder to circulate the blood in the body to get some oxygen from those lungs. What usually happens is the person wakes up and takes a breathe and goes back to sleep and continues to obstruct. This happens though out the time when the person is sleeping. The strain on the heart is very serious and several things can occur. 1. High Blood Pressure The heart is working hard and pumping hard and not getting a lot of work done, the blood pressure goes up. 2. Right sided heart failure (cor pulmonale) What happens when the heart tries and to get oxygen from the lungs, it becomes enlarged on the right side and begins not to be able to pump the way it should. Right sided heart failure. This can result in Pulmonary Hypertension, which is very, very difficult to treat. 3. Heart Attack The heart is saying, quot;I need oxygen, I need oxygen, I need oxygen, I am dying, I need oxygen...heart attack....quot; 4. Stroke Same as the above. The brain needs oxygen to work. When it doesn t get it for extended periods of time, the brain can die. 5. Cardiac Arrest The body is not made to go with out breathing for too long at all. The oxygen in the body is quickly consumed. The carbon dioxide level continues to climb with no where to go but the blood. The pH of the blood in the body falls. If it gets low enough, the body dies. The heart dies. The brain dies. Everything stops...Cardiac Arrest. Treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea are as follows: The most common form of treatment is CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). This device will help keep the airways open. If you have ever watched anyone sleep who has obstructive sleep apnea, it might seem strange for a while, then, it gets familiar, and then it turns into, quot;well, that is just how he sleeps.quot; It is dangerous not to get Obstructive Sleep Apnea treated. A lot of people refuse to wear CPAP because, quot;it looks funnyquot;, quot;it feels uncomfortablequot;, quot;it blows in my eyesquot;. Whatever the reason, it is better to go ahead and wear the CPAP then to make excuses not to wear it. There is surgery to remove the excess tissue of the throat. I have only seen this done twice. Once was a friend of mine. She said her throat was sore for months. It is a more drastic, invasive measure, but it is also used to correct this problem. I say which ever way you use to help you keep breathing at night is good. Just don t ignore the problem. It will not go away and will eventually lead to you being hooked up to more invasive devices than the CPAP machine. As far as treatment for Centralized Sleep Apnea it seems to be a little more complicated. The Doctors will need to find the cause of the problem. It can be something as obvious as paralysis or brain tumor. It can also not be easy to find the problem. Treatment for this rather serious issue varies from person to person. However, it can be treated with drugs that treat the underlying causes, such as Acerazlamide and Theophyllinr, which stimulate the need to breathe. In other cases CPAP or continuous airway pressure is used. There are other drugs that are sometimes uses such as Protriptolyne and Klonopin. Still other individuals receive low dosages of oxygen throughout the night. don t realize that it is happening. However, when you wake up the next day, you are not rested, you fall asleep when you are not intending to, it is all very frustrating. Obstructive Sleep Apnea happens when the airway closes with an obstruction and the person can no longer take a breath in. They will make the effort to breathe yet they will not be able to get any air in. The heart rate slows, the oxygen level in the body drops and the body fights to breathe. It is something like drowning or suffocation. Breathe each and every Breath!
It s more than likely a secondary effect of the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) that your husband may be experiencing. This is caused when excess soft tissue in the airway falls during sleep, occluding the nasal and oral passages from proper air exchange. In order to diagnose this, he needs to have a sleep study done. You need to consult your physician and discuss this with him/her. He/She can more readily diagnose this (with a proper exam) after a sleep study than I. Good luck!
Hi Rotexx Here are some ideas to use. Garlic - Over 2,000 medical studies have validated the many health properties of garlic. Research has shown that eating a clove of raw garlic once a day can not only lower blood pressure levels, but also reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, both of which are associated with heart disease. Garlic has also been shown to reduce fats in the bloodstream and to help minimize the risk of blood platelet adhesion and harmful blood clots. For people who wish to avoid the odor associated with eating raw garlic, garlic extracts can be used instead, or you can roast the garlic cloves before eating them. Raw garlic is the most effective though. Diet: Adopting a healthy diet is perhaps the most important step you can take to prevent and reverse high blood pressure. Ideally, your diet should consist of 20-25 percent protein, 30 percent healthy fats, and 45 to 50 percent carbohydrates. Fish such as blue fish, cod, Greenland halibut, mackerel, and wild caught salmon are excellent sources of both protein and healthy fats. Avoid farm-raised salmon, because of the antibiotics and food dyes they contain; tuna, which is high in mercury; and shellfish, which contain a high degree of contaminants. Your intake of red meat should also be minimized, and if eating red meat, bison or lamb are preferred. Choose free range, organic poultry, preferably turkey. Keep portions small, between 4-8 oz. Excellent vegetarian options include tempeh, tofu, eggs, and soaked and cooked or soaked, sprouted and steamed beans or legumes. Also include lots of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as non-wheat complex carbohydrates, and drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. For additional benefit, also include garlic and onions and use raw virgin coconut butter/oil or extra virgin olive oil for all of your cooking needs. For salads, olive and flaxseed oils are recommended. Raw, unpasteurized dairy products in moderation are acceptable. During the cooler months a good breakfast choice is organic oatmeal, which has been shown to reduce cholesterol, blood pressure levels and to reduce the overall risk of heart disease. Optionally, cream of brown rice cereal or quinoa flakes make a delicious warm breakfast cereal. In the summer months consider smoothies, fresh fruit salad or unsweetened granola and fruit. Excellent choices for fruits and vegetables are organic avocados, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melons, grapefruit, nectarines, oranges, asparagus, broccoli, brown rice, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas, kidney and lima beans, leafy green vegetables, nuts such as almonds, cashews, walnuts and pecans, potatoes, squash, and yams. Wheat germ, ground flax seed and oat bran can also be used to ensure adequate levels of fiber in your diet. In addition, avoid all sugars and simple, refined carbohydrates, as well as alcohol and coffee and other caffeine products, and minimize your salt intake, using sea salt instead of commercial or refined table salt for seasoning. Herbal Medicine: The following herbs can all help prevent and reverse high blood pressure and its associated symptoms: garlic, hawthorn berry, olive leaf extract, and the medicinal mushrooms maitake and reishi. Best of health to you
If the Dr. put you on medication then take your medication daily as you were told. If you are overweight then lose weight and excercise. This is what I did and my blood pressure is back to normal. Good Luck.
Hypertension control and preventing re-occurrence need compliance on the drugs which was prescribed by ur Dr. dependent on ur state and u should: start regular exercisers lose weight if ur over weight and avoid fatty and salty foods and regular check up of ur blood pressure,doing blood test every 3 mo. at least .by this way u will control ur blood pressure in constant level ...... hope u all the health.
Sorry about your diagnoses. However, having hypertension can be cured or managed. First of all, if you are overweight and in order to find out. Calculate your BMI. Also, if you are you should work out, eat healthy balanced meals that are low in sodium and I believe eventually you will see results. However, there are some individuals that have genetic dispositions to hypertension (i.e. people who have kidney disease, or other factors). I would have to say take this advice. (1) Exercise. (2) Eat healthy. (3) Monitor your blood pressure at least 2x a week to see the difference.
lose weight if youre overweight and avoid salty foods. thats about it, some people just have high blood pressure and there isnt much they can do about it
Ask doctor for best health advise. But.... Be control your diet and meal consumption. Take more vegetables and fruits also plant products. Make less the animal products, meat and so on...... Take much water and light exercise daily like jogging. Take less pill which increase high blood preasure. The best therapy for high blood preasure is rest and relax. But I recommended you that to meditate.
