Hypertension

Yes, exposure to high levels of mercury can lead to hypertension and tachycardia. Mercury can harm the cardiovascular system by disrupting the function of blood vessels and the heart. It can also affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls blood pressure and heart rate.

If someone had a stroke and could not use the right side of their body, the stroke likely occurred in the left side of their brain. This is because nerve fibers in the brain cross over, meaning the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa.

Because they have small bodies and they need a high blood pressure to fly.The blood carries oxygen and muscles use this oxygen. Flying uses this oxygen very quickly so naturally the heart has to pump it faster. This is the same situation with humans. When Humans run their heart rate and blood pressure increase to get more oxygen to those muscles being used.

Hypertension is not a pathogen; it is a condition characterized by high blood pressure. It is typically a result of lifestyle factors, genetics, or underlying health conditions, rather than being caused by a pathogen such as a virus or bacteria.

Aldosterone is primarily regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. To increase aldosterone levels, factors that can stimulate its production include low blood pressure, low blood volume, high potassium levels, and high Angiotensin II levels. These conditions can trigger the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands.

In hypertension, the histology typically shows thickening of the walls of small arteries and arterioles due to smooth muscle cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia. This results in narrowing of the vessel lumen and reduced compliance, contributing to increased systemic vascular resistance and elevated blood pressure. Additionally, chronic hypertension may lead to endothelial cell damage, inflammation, and fibrosis in the vessel walls.

A common way to measure pressure is in "mm of Hg" or millimeters of mercury. The reason that this unit of pressure is based on a unit of length is because of how pressure was measured originally. A curved tube full of mercury metal was used by Robert Boyle in the 17th century to measure pressure. Briefly, it works like this. Imagine a tube of glass bent into a U-shape with mercury inside. If both ends of the tube are open to air, the level of the mercury in each side of the "U" will be equal. However, if additional pressure was applied to the air above one side, it would cause the mercury on that side to drop, and the mercury on the other side would rise. The "mm of Hg" refers to the difference in height between the two sides. The bigger the difference in pressure between the two sides, the bigger the height difference. Note, that the measurement is inherently a relative measurement (one side of the tube relative to the other). One atmosphere (atm) is equal to 760 mm Hg. This is because if you have a perfect vacuum on one side of the U-shaped tube and 1 atmosphere or air pressure on the other side, the difference in height will be 760 millimeters (independent of the diameter of the glass tubing). Also, 1 torr is equal to 1 mm of Hg. For more information see: http://www.chm.davidson.edu/ChemistryApplets/GasLaws/Pressure.html

No, a loquat is not a citrus fruit. It belongs to the Rosaceae family, while citrus fruits belong to the Rutaceae family. Individuals with citrus allergies may not necessarily be allergic to loquats.

The root word is -tension meaning pressure.

Cerebral Vascular Attack or CVA. Transient Iscemic Attack or TIA is a "mini-stroke."

A blood pressure reading of 140 over 78 is considered elevated. The top number (systolic pressure) is at the high end of the normal range, and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is within the normal range. However, it is still important to monitor and possibly make lifestyle changes to prevent it from increasing further.

So go out and ride. Visit a good bike shop (not X-mart), make sure they understand your needs and get fitted for a bike. If you're heavy you don't want to be looking at the sleekest road models, but a hybrid would probably suit you fine.

It would depend on the particular disease that runs in the family, but most people are urged to get a checkup once a year if they are healthy.

No, because cozaar is an angiotensin receptor blocker which lowers the blood pressure & grape fruit will block some enzymes in the interstine so that the medication directly can enter in to the body very fast &in the kidneys there will be loss of water &salts . it causes so many side effects .

I am not so sure. I have found that swimming in the sea definitley raises my blood pressure. The older you get, the more you notice this.

Not likely.

If your assumption is that the salt in the pool water is causing high blood pressure (like a high salt diet), then the answer is definitely, no.

The amount of salt in a saltwater treated pool is very low (around 0.5%, which is one-half of one-percent). This concentration of salt is about half as much as a teardrop (1%) and nearly eight times less than sea water (3.75%).

And since the salt in the water can't be absorbed through your skin, you would have to drink a LOT of pool water while you're swimming to intake any significant level of salt.

I'm not a doctor, but I would like to suggest that everyone eat right, exercise, and see a doctor if you think you have high blood pressure.

And keep swimming - it's great exercise.

no... not in and of itself. however theres a catch... high cholesterol over time (years) can though it doesnt necessarily have to build up in the arteries. If this occurs this is called atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease or narrowing of the vessels. just like water pipes if the pipe gets smaller the pressure goes up.... same scenario occurs in your vessels.

Hypertension or high blood pressure exact causes are not known. There are several risk factors and conditions such as age, family history, ethnicity, diet, obesity and stress in which the majority of people with hypertension have in common.

In some cases, yes - it's easily preventable. But they're the minority. Sadly, the overwhelming amount of blood pressure cases are what doctors call "essential" hypertension: They don't know why you have high blood pressure - you just do. But in virtually every case, it can be successfully treated.

Although high blood pressure is a very important contributing problem or risk factor for heart attacks, there is no specific blood pressure that is required to have a heart attack. If there is a blockage of a blood vessel that supplies blood to the heart, due to either a fatty deposit of cholesterol, or a blood clot, a heart attack will result.

a cardiovascular surgeon ALSO called a pulmonary surgeon

Because, when you are excersizing, you are working the fat off your body, and that is one of the main reasons you get high blood pressure.

No milk dairy foods do not affect uric acid production as they are one of the few things that come from animals or plants for that mater that do not have purines.
