What cause pregnant teens to have high blood pressure during pregnancy?

Will tranquilizers help with high blood pressure?

Generally, no. But it depends on the nature of your high blood pressure. If you are getting occasional high blood pressure spikes, but your daily pressure readings are normal, then you may be suffering from anxiety or panic attacks, which are stress out breaks, then the occasional tranquilizer may be fine.

If however, your daily blood pressure readings are consistently above ideal, then blood pressure medication is the way to go. Cardio issues are pretty easy to detect. Clogged circulation, hardening arteries, bad vales, etc can be very accurately detected. There will be no question about it. You either have a cardio condition or you don't. Simple, isn't it?

Blood pressure medications are designed and tested for long term, so use so use them if you have a cardio condition. Cardio medications can be a bit of a challenge as there are lots of them out there. So, if you find that you don't like the one you are using, ask your doctor to switch you over to another one, until you find the right one at the right dosage level.

Tranquilizers can loose effectiveness quickly over time, and you'll need to escalate your dosage over time to achieve the same results and that is not good. Eventually, it becomes fatal.

In short, take an occasional tranquilizer of the occasional stress attack. If you have a cardio issue, take the blood pressure meds.

Some people may need both. As always, talk to your doctors.

What is the difference between having a panic attack and high blood pressure?

A panic attack is temporary - and you definitely know you are having one. It is the body responding to a mental state. The heart races and pounds, you hyperventilate (breathe hard) and there is a great feeling of anxiety. The blood pressure may go up but it returns to normal as soon as the attack is over. A panic attack while feeling scary does not normally have any dangerous complications and one does not need to be on lifelong treatment.

High blood pressure usually has no obvious symptoms. It is chronic, that is it is a long-term (life-long) disorder. Because of that it has serious potential complications and one needs to be on lifelong treatment though it is possible to avoid medication if one makes appropriate lifestyle changes.

A nurse researcher wants to study the effects of yoga on blood pressure in hypertensive adults What is the independent variable What is the dependent variable What extraneous variables might exist?

The independent variable is yoga, and you might have various [experimental] groups that do the yoga differently from each other. The dependent variable is blood pressure. You would want to make sure that the different groups are as similar as possible in make-up so that any differences in blood pressure can be attributed to the yoga and not to something else. If one group is made up of 18 year old athletes and another group is made up of 60 year olds with a history of hypertension, you can see that differences between the groups could not clearly be attributed to differences in their experimental yoga practice. You could balance the groups in a few different ways. Maybe you could assign people to groups randomly from a large selection of people in the 'target' population. Or you could deliberately select persons for each group in a kind of 1 X 1 correspondence, based on specific characteristics that you want to match as closely as possible. You might want one or more control groups as well, to account for the placebo effect or other extraneous effects. A control group could come in, for example, and have all the same bp checks as the experimental groups, but perhaps get presentations on various topics; maybe they could be asked to come in for a pb check, be allowed to leave, and then return for a second check 1.5 hours later. There are various ways to do it.

Is 170 over 101 a very high blood pressure for a 64 year old male?

Yes, definitely, normal blood pressure should be less then 120/80. A pressure of 170/101 puts you at risk for stage 2 hypertension (high blood pressure) which usually requires certain lifestyle changes and combination drug therapy. It is common however for pressures to be higher as we age due to "stiffening of the arteries" (if that term sounds familiar to you).See your doctor if you haven't already.

Do stroke victims get worse?

Not always, although it is possible. A stroke will kill brain cells, which are irreparable. It is possible that, like a cancer, the destruction of brain cells will continue to spread, however in this day and age, most stroke victims will recover fairly well, and further neurological damage will be prevented with medications and treatments.

Further strokes are also not uncommon. If it seems as though a stroke victim close to you has suddenly deteriorated, take them to a hospital immediately, as they may have had another stroke.
