Is high blood pressure deadly to a male over 65?
It puts alot of pressure on your organs and blood vessels. Alot can go wrong. The kidneys are sensitive to all of this pressure- it destroys the tiny filters in them over time, gradually.
Blood vessels can pop (aneurysm) and god forbid if they are vessels up in the brain. The heart is affected because it has to work harder to push blood against all that back pressure. It can even make breathing harder or less effective. Basically it is affecting everything already and once something goes, everything else starts to fall out of balance. High blood pressure can be the beginning of the end but the good news is that there are LOTS of things you can do to lower it. Exercise and cutting out fatty food are #1. Eating high fiber intake and veggies #2. Once you've done that there are medicines like statins that can help lower cholesterol. You can also take fish oil or other omega-3s but don't think taking pills can ever replace good old exercise and healthy diet. You really have to watch your calories and lose some weight if you want rapid drops in that number. Also eliminate stressful stuff from your life and try to adopt a calm, peaceful, happy attitude. Get a dog if that helps! Stress really raises BP.

Should a patient take Carvedilol for high blood pressure if their heart rate is 42 beats per minute?
Carvedilol is an alpha/beta blocker and as such can lower resting heart rate. A resting HR of 42 is already dangerously low. Good HR's range from 60-100 bpm. 30's are cause for alarm and possibly pacemaker implantation if cause is not discerned. In any case, your heartrate is not the same as your blood pressure, so you would need to find out what that is beforehand.
Why is your blood pressure high when you first wake up?
Sleep apnea can cause significant increases in blood pressure through the night. To see what it's like breathe normally for a few minutes then hold your breath for 30 seconds and suck in a deep breath of air. Repeat this process for a few hours while monitoring your blood pressure and you'll see it can cause a nasty increase.
This is why sleep apnea is so dangerous. A person may have only slightly elevated blood pressure during the day but at night as they sleep (with untreated sleep apnea) damage is being done to cardiac tissue, brain tissue, and blood vessels.
What are the major side effects of grizzlies dip?
i have been dipping Grizzly wintergreen for about 6 years, what i feel when i dip is kind of light headed and a little more relaxed, its kind of like taking 1 or 2 hits of Bud. a lot of people say it will stain your teeth but mine are white as can be. but if your talking about some MAJOR side effects, that would be white patches in the lip, bumps, sores, and thickness in your cheek and possibly cancer a few years later. to lower the bad side effects my dentist said to dip on one side for 1 week then switch to the other side of your mouth. and another thing ive seen a lot on the internet is that you will not see any major side effects like cancer until about 5 years of dipping but the only major thing ive had is a couple sores every now and then so im not too worried bout it. i would suggest brushing your teeth after every dip. Grizzly #1
What homeostatic imbalance causes hypertension?
The list of imbalances in hemostasis that can lead to hypertension is extremely long. Several things can lead to hypertension also known as high blood pressure. Most of these imbalances are attributed to the diet one carries out. For example a high salt intake or NACL raises blood pressure. This is because pressure is increased as your kidneys work to remove water the sodium in salt holds it thus putting pressure on your blood vessels. A high glucose level in your blood is also another cause of hypertension. When one consumes sugar or also glucose the result is the pancreas releasing an enzyme known as insulin when too much insulin is released it has an inflammatory effect on the body causing the linings of the blood vessels to swell up.

What is normal blood pressure for someone who weighs 225 pounds and is 5feet 4 inches tall?
Normal blood pressure is a reading under 120/80. This is the figure used for most people whatever your weight or height.
Pre-hypertension is a reading between this and 140/90 and High blood pressure is anything over this.
Some people, for example diabetics, have a high risk of heart disease, in which case it is advised that they aim for an even lower threshold (135/85).
If a person has high blood pressure, both readings are usually above normal. Sometimes only the higher of the two (systolic) is raised and this is referred to as isolated systolic hypertension.

Hypertension is a state of adaptation of the body to a generalized drought, when there is not enough water to fill all the blood vessels that diffuse water into vital cells.
As part of the mechanism of reverse osmosis, when water from the blood serum is filtered and injected into important cells through minute holes in their membranes, extra pressure is needed for the "injection process." Just as we inject I.V. "water" in hospitals, so the body injects water into tens of trillions of cells all at the same time.
Water and some salt intake will bring blood pressure back to normal.
