decreasing cardiac output and vasodialtion. also, sometimes, depending on the cause, you need to decrease the amount of fluid in the circulatory system, this is why some people are on water tablets for high blood pressure and why people in renal failure can get it too.

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
organised activities is the exercise recommended by physicians, it helps burn the un necessary fats and calories and thus prevents non communicable diseases that include hypertension and atherosclerosis, good luck
yeah ,go for it ,it will help a lot.
