Blood Pressure

One of the vital signs of human beings, blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. It varies with the strength of the heartbeat, the elasticity of the arterial walls, the volume and viscosity of the blood, and a person's health, age, and physical condition. Normal adult blood pressure is approximately 120/80 mm/Hg.

Can alcohol decrease your blood presure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure to unhealthy levels. Having more than three drinks in one sitting temporarily increases your blood pressure, but repeated binge drinking can lead to long-term increases. Keep in mind that alcohol contains calories and may contribute to unwanted weight gain - a risk factor for high blood pressure. Also, alcohol can interfere with the effectiveness and increase the side effects of some blood pressure medications. ~Mayo Clinic

What are the Factors that influence resistance?

User Avatar

Asked by Bibizsugrim

Factors that effect resistance are: # Heat- At a higher temperature their will be more resistance as the atoms within the wire begin to swell and make it harder for the current to pass through the wire; this causes more resistance. # Length- As the length increases so does the resistance. This is because there is a larger space for the electrons to jump across and more atoms for them to get through to complete the circuit. # Cross-Sectional area- As the CS area increases the resistance decreases as there are more places for a greater current to travel through. # Material- Different materials have different densities. The denser a material the higher the resistance.

Can yoga reduce high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Meditation is an exercise which is calming and promotes relaxation. Meditation cannot actually be properly performed if the person is unable to relax, and let go of their problems. It does address the most bothersome areas of their lives, and dealing with this can lower the blood pressure for a large stretch of time.

Everyone has things in their past which continue to cause problems in later life. Meditation helps you to move on, and live in the present whilst learning from the past. It is an invaluable tool to help one live a healthy and fulfilling life.

'can alka seltzer cause your blood pressure to rise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It can. Alka Selzer contains sodium bicarbonate, which would add salt to your diet. In most hypertensive (high blood pressure) patients, you want to limit your salt intake. Thus, I would not recommend taking this medication unless you talked to your doctor.

If you are having indigestion, there are other medications you can take that will not effect your blood pressure. Talk with a pharmacist or your doctor.

Is blood pressure 66 over 90 ok?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Theoretically, a BP of 84/66 is a little low. The low normal BP is 90/60. However, depending on the age, sex, physical fitness and a few other factors, it could be OK. For example, it's normal for young children to have a lower BP (90/60). Men usually have a higher BP than women. Professional athletes could have higher blood pressure during their performance. However, if this is a teenager or adult, it is considered hypotension or low blood pressure, and it should be checked by a physician.

Stroke volume: Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected per beat from left ventricle and measured in ml/beat. Stroke volume to its highest during sub maximal exercise and doesn't increase during maximal exercise. The greatest increase of stroke volume increases in the transition from rest to moderate exercise, during maximal exercise stroke volume doesn't go over its peak of 120 - 140 per minute Starling's law states that the stroke volume is limited towards the venous return, of which is the amount of the blood that is available to enter the left atrium and pass to the left ventricle

Although high blood pressure is a very important contributing problem or risk factor for heart attacks, there is no specific blood pressure that is required to have a heart attack. If there is a blockage of a blood vessel that supplies blood to the heart, due to either a fatty deposit of cholesterol, or a blood clot, a heart attack will result.
