BLOOD PRESSURE IMPORTANT PART OF LIFE.

-
Hello Readers,

Now with most important information about lethal disease which is silently kill the person....

     In layman term as low BP and high BP....blood pressure

                       BLOOD PRESSURE
  

       Blood pressure is force created by blood pressure against walls of blood vessels.The blood pressure depends on work being done by heart and resistance of blood vessels.
Normal blood pressure of body is 120mmhg over 80mmhg.
It is important force to push oxygen and nutrients to nourish tissues and organs.

 Blood pressure is measured by machine called Sphygmomanometer.

Fluctuation in blood pressure term as HYPERTENSION  and HYPO TENSION.
  

                  HYPERTENSION

Hypertension is medical term which means high blood pressure.
Now the guidelines says elevated bp is above 130mmhg and above 90mmhg.
Cause of hypertension is not known.

RISK FACTORS 

  • Age- more common in age over 60 years.
  • Ethincity
  • Size and weight-Person with overweight is more prone to have hypertension.
  • Alcohol and tobacco use person are more prone to have hypertension.
  • Sex-Male are common to have hypertension than females.
  • Existing health conditions like Cardiovascular disease,diabetes,chronic kidney disease,high level of cholestrol etc..
  • Physical inactivity.
  • Salt rich diet.
  • Low potassium diet.
HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS- The blood pressure over 180mmhg and 120mmhg is medical emergency should seek immediate attention at nearest hospital.In this person may have headache and nose bleeds.

Patient have no symptoms ,As it is said silent killer it can damage to internal organ such as kidney.
In some cases patient may feel sweating,anxiety,sleeping problems,blushing.

LONG TERMS COMPLICATIONS of hypertension

  • Heart failure
  • Anuresym- Abnormal  bulge in wall of arteries that can burst and cause severe bleeding lead to death.
  • Kidney failure.
  • Stroke-Damage to part of brain due to insufficient blood supply.
  • Hypertensive retinopathies lead blindness.  
LIFE  STYLE MODIFICATION CAN REDUCE RISK OF HYPERTENSION.

  • Reduce the salt intake.The WHO recommends salt intake should less than 5 gram a day.
  • Eating more fruit and vegetables and less fat.United State National heart and lung institute had given DASH diet approaches to stop hypertension.
  • Manage the body weight.
  • Regular exercise
MEDICATIONS ARE DESIGN TO TREAT HYPERTENSION.
  1. Diuretics
  2. Beta-blockers
  3. Alpha-blockers
  4. Calcium channel blockers
  5. Vasodilators
  6. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors(ACE inhibitors)
HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS emergency treatment by medical team is,if  with beta blocker bp remains elevated Vasodilator such as nitroglycerin is intravenously administrated.  

Now if blood pressure fluctuate towards lower side.
A blood pressure reading lower than 90 mmhg for top and 60 mmhg for bottom is low bp.

 CAUSES OF LOW BLOOD PRESSURE


  • Dehydration
  • Surgical intervention
  • Medical disorders
  • Anaphylaxis means sudden death due to allergic reaction.
  • Heart problems
  • Blood loss
  • Endocrine problems
  • Lack of vitamin b12 etc..

 SYMPTOMS


  • Symptoms are experienced when sudden drop in blood pressure.
  • Dizziness and lightheadness
  • Fainting or Syncope
  • Blurred vision
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Lack of orientation
  • Shock
Extreme hypotension can result in life threatening condition.
Confusion,cold,pale skin,rapid and shallow breathing,weak and rapid pulse.

 DIAGNOSIS

  1. Blood tests
  2. ECG
  3. Tilt table test for orthostatic hypotension i.e. changes in blood pressure while standing up from lying position.
TREATMENT

Compressing stocking.-prevent pooling of blood in extremities.
Take salt.
Medication for emergency is Fludrocortisone.
Hydration is must with liquids.

CLASSIFICATION OF HYPOTENSION

Orthostatic Hypotension-Change in bp lying to stand
Post Prandinal Hypotension-After eating sudden drop blood pressure.
Neurally drop Blood pressure-Due to long time standing blood pressure drops.

Treatment -IV fluids with electrolytes.Medication Fludrocortisone administrated.

EVERYTHING SHOULD BALANCED IN BODY ,BLOOD PRESSURE TOO.....
TO KEEP BLOOD PRESSURE IS MOST IMPORTANT.

 STAY HEALTHY...STAY CONNECTED....

Hello Readers,  Hope you all are enjoying blogs on medical knowledge.. In this blog,I would like to discuss about what is MENINGES  and what is MENINGITIS...                    MENINGES  The meninges are type of tissue (connective tissue) which covers brain and spinal chord. There are layer of meninges from outer to inner named DURAMATER,ARACHNOID MATER, PIAMATER respectively.  The Duramater is dense ,tough tissue that is exactly known as periosteom of skull.  The Arachnoid mater is a network of loose connective tissue that lacks of blood vessels.  The Piamater is closely attached to arachnoid mater which is innermost layer contains of blood vessels.  FUNCTION OF MENINGES  - Protect nervous system of body  - Production of Cerebrospinal fluid  Cerebrospinal fluid protects CNS tissue by acting as shock absorber by circulating nutrients and by getting rid off the waste products.                   MENINGITIS  It's an inflammation of meninges which is aro
