What hormones are stimulated by other hormones?
Almost every hormone effects another in some way. That is how our body maintains homeostasis. Mostly this is done through negative feedback loops, one hormone does it's function until another system releases a counteracting hormone. There is no short answer for this, endocrinology is an entire science of these interactions, but likely the most commonly heard (and constantly in action) are the RAA system or Renin Angioensin Aldostrone system. Renin tells your body it needs to hydrate so thirst is stimulated (a whole oher system) and Aldosterone is produced to trade ions of sodium for potassium. Sodium then attracts water fom the cells and extra cellular space to increase vascular volume. Angiotensin tells the arteries to contract to increase blood pressure (also through a cascade of reactions including angiotensin I, II, and III). Angiotensin is also what some blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors) work on. When there is suffient vascular volume the negative feedback is from the arteries to begin allowing sodium to be excreted. Disease of the system is seen as SIADH (usually head injury damages Angiotensin II receptors in medulla) od Diabetis Insipidus (inability to maintain fluid electrolyte balance through constant diuresis {peeing}).
Diabetes and blood pressure?
People with diabetes have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. Your doctor or nurse should check your blood pressure at every visit. Ask your doctor what your target blood pressure is. Exercising (such as walking), eating low-salt foods, and losing weight (if you are overweight) can lower your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is too high, your doctor will prescribe drugs to lower it.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/10/2009David C.

Taking your blood pressure at home?
After you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure by measuring it at home. There are devices that are easy to use and can help you monitor your blood pressure at home. Practice with your doctor or nurse to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly. Compare your home machine with the one at your doctor's office to be sure it is reading correctly.Reviewed ByReview Date: 04/17/2009David C.

What is the average blood pressure for a 21 year old female?
The ideal BP for a 33 y/o female is 120/70 or under. Understand that the top number (or systolic number) represents the pressure in your arteries while your left ventricle (the ventricle responsible for pumping blood throughout the body) is contracted, and the bottom number, or diastolic number, represents the pressure while the left ventricle is relaxed. As previously stated, 120/70 or lower is ideal.120-140/71-90 can represent either borderline high blood pressure or high blood pressure. 140-160/90-100 represents stage II high BP, while 160+/100+ is stage III high blood pressure. While stage III is the most dangerous, any high BP can lead to adverse reactions over time.

Blood pressure measurement?
DefinitionBlood pressure is a measurement of the force applied to the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body.Your blood pressure can be measured at home, or at your health care provider's office, a fire station, pharmacies, and many other places.Alternative NamesDiastolic blood pressure; Systolic blood pressure; Blood pressure reading; Measuring blood pressureHow the test is performedYour arm should be supported, with your upper arm at heart level, back supported, legs uncrossed, and feet on the floor. Your upper arm should be bare, with your sleeve comfortably rolled up.You or your health care provider will wrap the blood pressure cuff snugly around your upper arm. The lower edge of the cuff should be 1 inch above the bend of your elbow.The cuff will be inflated quickly, either by pumping the squeeze bulb or pushing a button. You will feel tightness around your arm.Next, the valve of the cuff is opened slightly, allowing the pressure to slowly fall.As the pressure falls, the reading when the sound of blood pulsing is first heard is recorded. This is the systolic pressure.As the air continues to be let out, the sounds will disappear. The point at which the sound disappears is recorded. This is the diastolic pressure.Inflating the cuff too slowly or not high enough may cause a false reading. If you loosen the valve too much, you won't be able to determine your blood pressure.The procedure may be done two or more times.How to prepare for the testMeasuring your blood pressure is best done after you rest for at least 5 minutes.Do not take your blood pressure when you're under stress, have consumed caffeine or used a tobacco product in the past 30 minutes, or have recently exercised.Take two or three readings at a sitting, 1 minute apart, while resting in a seated position. When measuring your blood pressure outside of a medical office, it is important to note the time of the readings.Your doctor may suggest that you do your readings at certain times. A common recommendation is to take your blood pressure in the morning and at night for a week. That way, you will get at least 12 readings to help your doctor make decisions about your blood pressure treatment.How the test will feelYou will feel slight discomfort when the blood pressure cuff is inflated to its highest level.Why the test is performedBecause there are no symptoms, people can have high blood pressure and not know it. High blood pressure may be found when you visit your health care provider for other reasons.Diagnosing high blood pressure early can help prevent heart disease, stroke, eye problems, or chronic kidney disease.All adults should have their blood pressure checked every 1 to 2 years, if their blood pressure was less than 120/80 mmHg at the most recent reading.If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you should have your blood pressure checked more often -- at least every year.Normal ValuesBlood pressure readings are usually given as two numbers -- for example, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). One or both of these numbers can be too high.Normal blood pressure is when the top number (systolic blood pressure) is below 120 most of the time, and the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) is below 80 most of the time (written as 120/80 mmHg).If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or greater but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension. If you have pre-hypertension, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure.What abnormal results meanHigh blood pressure (hypertension) is when the top number (systolic blood pressure) is 140 or more most of the time or the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) is 90 or more most of the time. (written as 140/90 mmHg).If you have diabetes, heart disease, or kidney problems, or if you had a stroke, your doctor may want your blood pressure to be lower.Most of the time, high blood pressure does not cause symptoms. For most patients, high blood pressure is found when they visit their health care provider or have it checked elsewhere.See also: Preeclampsia to learn about high blood pressure in pregnant women.Special considerationsIt is normal for your blood pressure to be different depending on the time of day:It is usually higher when you are at work.It drops slightly when you are at home.It is usually lowest when you are sleeping.It is normal for your blood pressure to increase suddenly when you wake up. In people with very high blood pressure, this is when they are most at risk for a heart attack and stroke.Blood pressure readings taken at home may be a better measure of your current blood pressure than those taken at your doctor's office, as long as you make sure your machine is accurate. You can ask your health care provider to compare your home readings with those taken in the office.Many people become nervous at the doctor's office and have higher readings than they normally would at home. This is called white coat hypertension.ReferencesVictor, RG. Systemic hypertension: Mechanisms and diagnosis. In: Bonow RO, Mann DL, Zipes DP, Libby P, eds.
