My doctor says I have borderline pulmonary hypertension. What can I do to avoid getting it?

admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 09:54:41 +0000

I’ve been having chest heaviness and pains for several years now that have progressively gotten worse with each passing year. I never understood what it could be and all tests of my heart came back normal. Yet I have still had these strange and often painful feelings in my chest. Is it even possible to avoid getting this disease if I’m already having the symptoms that I have?

Wrist measuring Automatic Portable Blood Pressure Monitor?

I am a doctor and have traditionally worked with BP instruments that measure BP from arm and not from wrist. If anyone has worked on these new wrist based BP monitors, then please tell me if they are accurate and reliable or not. If yes, what principle do they use for measurement?
The funda for measuring it is not in-line with heart but the arm is supposed to be at the level of the heart.

SO the person who does high maths can take a jump. Pressure, mind you, varies with height

I wanted to know if Karatkoff’s principle is applicable on wrist Sphygs or not coz i am not sure if it does obliterate radial artery completely and even if it does, ulnar artery will rush in more blood because it is un-obliterable.

Blood Pressure?

1) Does everyone’s heat create the same pressure? Why?
2) Why is it important to place your arm in a horizontal position rather than letting it hang at your side when you take your blood pressure?
I meant this for question number one:

1) Does everyone’s heart create the same pressure? Why or why not?
We have to share our data with the class at school and I need to know what should be the control variables?

What is the proper way to take blood pressure reading using the spygometer?

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 09:36:19 +0000

The result of the blood pressure reading at the doctor’s office is very important. The reading is recorded and if it is abnormal, a form of treatment is discussede, based on this one reading yet the way the doctor’s assistant take the blood pressure reading if improper could produce an incorrect reading. Some take it with arms down, some with arms extended, and others with the patient standing up. Each produced varying results. Isn’t it the correct way to have the arm patient sitting with the arm the same level as the heart?

I know that if you exercise your blood pressure eventually goes down if you have a high blood pressure, but why? Is it because your heart is stronger and therefore doesn’t need to work as hard so the blood pressure goes down? Thanks.

How to deal with high blood pressure and high potassium?

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 05:46:23 +0000

My husband has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was put on a low sodium diet. Further blood tests show his potassium levels are too high, so he is to avoid high potassium foods. What I have found suggests avoiding any salt substitutes or lite salt products, avoid whole grain breads and cereals, milk, yogurt, etc. The "heart healthy" diet his doctor gave him suggests eating whole grains and using "lite" salt as well as low-fat dairy products. So how do you balance the two conflicting diets?
