Does hypertension cause sleep apnea?
Yes Sleep apnea can cause very high blood pressure. Before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I had fairly high blood pressure, and having used the CPAP machine which supplies a positive air force into the nose and lungs have allowed my blood pressure to come down remarkably. When you have uncontrolled or undiagnosed sleep apnea, it causes the heart to work quite hard, and increases the risk of getting a heart attack if it is not treated. So if you're experiencing fairly high blood pressure, and the doctor doesn't know why, then ask them about a sleep lab test, or a home sleep test, and that should be able to tell them whether or not you have this disorder.
What is aComplex macerated tear of the glenoid labrum?
An injury, implied not to be acute (i.e. is old), of the shoulder...more specifically, the labrum is a cartilaginous (not bone, like the front of the nose) structure that helps the glenoid (a part of the scapula that forms the medial/inside bony shoulder joint) hold the humerus (upper arm bone) in place. To use the term macerated implies chonic wear and tear of the labrum with a loss of its normal shape, usually as a result of osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint (loss of the joint cartilage between the humerus and glenoid). A labral tear is a more discrete and definable injury that can be graded as to its severity, more than can be discussed here. If complex it means not simple and linear...if complex and macerated, this implies that the tear is a result of chronic degenerative change, with a loss of the normal labral morphology (shape) and a more definable tear that may or may not cause symptoms. These types of tear/degeration are very common in older patients, and often not symptomatic (or possibly, are not symptomatic because the patient stops the activity that caused the degeration)
What is the treatment for emphysema?
Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath due to over-inflation of the alveoli (air sacs in the lung). Cigarette smoking is by far the most dangerous behavior that causes people to develop emphysema, and it is also the most preventable cause. Treatment for emphysema can take many forms. Different approaches to treatment are available. Generally, a doctor will prescribe these treatments in a step-wise approach, depending on the severity of your condition.
