Why are persons with high blood pressure advised to reduce the amount of salt in their diets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The more sodium in your blood, the more blood volume increases because sodium attracts and retains water. As a result, the heart has to work harder to move the increased volume of blood through your blood vessels. This creates increased strain on the arteries and high blood pressure. Have you ever eaten a very salty meal and then been thirsty afterwards? That is the salt acting to increase your thirst. Then when you drink something, this fluid adds to the volume of blood inside the blood vessels. This increases blood pressure.

Why does arteriosclerosis lead to hypertension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. It makes the blood vessels narrow and then the blood has to push very hard to get through the blood vessel. When the blood vessels get skinnier, there's not enough room for all the blood to push through. It's like trying to drink something through a tiny, skinny straw. It's easier when the straw is wider, right? Same with the blood. It takes a lot more pressure to push through the narrow tube, just like it takes a lot more pressure for you to suck up your soda through a tiny, thin straw!

How do you reduce face swelling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For a quick fix, place two spoons in the freezer for 20 minutes, then hold them under your eyes. The cold will temporarily cause the blood vessels under your eyes to constrict and thus reduce the swelling. For an everyday solution, buy an eye cream that contains caffeine. Not only is using an eye cream one of the best things you can do to fight off wrinkles, but the caffeine in the cream will help to decrease the swelling. Apply morning and night.

Is sauna safe for people with hypertension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would be best to have someone go with you to monitor you for light-headedness, dizziness, or anything else that could endanger your safety. The sauna works by dilating your blood vessels on the exterior of your body to facilitate heat exchange (sweat) which in essence should lower your blood pressure temporarily. However, your heart will compensate by trying to pump harder which essentially could exacerbate the symptoms of high blood pressure on the heart muscle itself.

I understand that high blood pressure medication causes you to feel pretty awful but taking your medication regularly is the best way to control it. Weight loss by diet and exercise are also effective at lowering blood pressure and if you are going into the sauna to try and "sweat off" some calories, you would likely be better served by spending the time taking a walk or just being up and active.

If you had a stroke will you have another one?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no way to say definitively that you will have another stroke if you've had one already. But the risks of a second stroke are definitely higher for someone who has had one already. The best "defense" in this situation is to consult a physician and take care of your body in a general way. The latter will include diet and an activity level suited to your gender, age and your overall physical condition. To improve the mileage you get out of your body, you must take care of it. If you drive your family compact like you're on the NASCAR circuit, it won't last long. Same for that machine your consciousness is riding around in.
