Developing Primary Pulmonary Hypertension

Jeff Nadrich asked:


If you took Fen Phen for longer than three months, the chances of you developing primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) are 25 times greater than normal!  Typically, one 1 in 500,000 people develop the disease, but of those who took Fen Phen for an extended period of time, that number jumps to 1 in 20,000.  So what started as an attempt to get healthier with this weight loss drug back in the mid nineties has turned into a medical nightmare for thousands who now suffer from PPH and other heart-related conditions. PPH is a very rare disease and has been proven to be caused from use of the diet drug Fen Phen.

Symptoms of PPH are:



Weakness

Fatigue

Dizziness

Fainting

Shortness of breath or hyperventilation

Chest pain under the sternum

Coughing up blood

Blue lips

Swollen ankles

Charles Gerdson asked:


Hypertension is when your blood pressure is elevated to dangerous levels. This causes your blood to push against the walls of your arteries and veins straining them and making it harder for your heart to pump blood. The stronghold of your body is your heart; hypertension puts this stronghold at risk. It is an extremely dangerous situation to be in and affects tumultuous amounts of people worldwide. 3 reasons why hypertension puts your heart at risk include;



Heart Attack. A myocardial infarction is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. It occurs when the blood supply is interrupted and the heart does not gain sufficient oxygen to pump blood around the body. It is extremely dangerous and can kill the sufferer instantly, high blood pressure is attributable to a large chunk of heart attacks that occur worldwide.





Stroke. High blood pressure is the largest cause of strokes worldwide. Strokes are the second highest forms of death worldwide. Killing hundreds of thousands each year. High Blood Pressure is also the most changeable factors in preventing strokes.





Aortic Aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm is where the aorta of the heart becomes dilated and stretched, it can rupture killing the patient or severely sickening them. High blood pressure is again the easiest variable factor that can affect the cause of Aortic Aneurysms.



So high blood pressure puts your heart in serious danger, it also makes it risky to perform strenuous exercise or be susceptible to stress. The most important part of your continual health is your heart; hypertension is extremely risky and dire. It is up to you to act and save your life. For more information on how to prevent High Blood Pressure visit the link bellow. Stay Healthy and Good Luck.

The Real Cause of Hypertension

December 28th, 2009 | Posted in hypertension   Comments Off
hypertension
Christian Goodman asked:


Today, I beg you to let go of prejudgments and propaganda produced by the traditional health business and instead apply your common sense. That’s the one thing that never lies.

What do I mean by that?

There is a lot of propaganda going on in the health business. After all, it is a business. And what do they want you to believe?

Their task is to brain wash you that the only possible approach to lower hypertension is to use prescription medications. They may quickly mention other things you can do in combination with drugs. But the main focus is on medications.

And like taking medications for a while wasn’t enough, they also want to keep you on them for the rest of your life. Medications suppress the symptoms. They do not cure the illness.

And what do they claim to be the cause for hypertension?

No1 – They don’t know

No2 – Genetic reasons

No3 – Connection to other diseases

And the treatment again…

Medications, Medications, Medication!

Even if the doctors admit, they most often don’t have any idea what really causes this condition, they refuse to look at any other method than drugs.

But you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what really causes hypertension.

Here it comes… You’ve probably often experienced your blood pressure ski-rock.

Weren’t you engaged in a very stressful situation when this happened?

When your body raises your blood pressure, it’s actually doing exactly what it should be doing.

You see, when you’re faced with danger or stress, your body goes into fight and flight mood.

This is a mechanism, responsible for saving the lives of your forefathers. It was (and still is) essential to be able to run away from or fight predators.

When you reach flight or fight mood, your muscles get tense and your blood pressure roars.

There is a big problem with the modern world. We engage in stressful situations like that every day. We’re surrounded by people we don’t know. Some of them may even be murderers or human predators. At best, in every workplace there is someone ready to compete with you and take your job.

Like that wasn’t enough. We’ve the pressure of keeping our standard in the society. And the dread of failing. Worries about money is probably the biggest stress factor known. Money dread kills more people than anything else I know about.

Money doesn’t kill but the dread about it does!

This is only an example. Anything you’re stressed about will roar your blood pressure. And most people have these nagging, worrying thoughts all day and all night.

That’s the problem. What’s the answer?

There is very limited chance to drastically change the world. But you can take a few minutes brake!

And it’s actually quite easy. Giving your mind a few minutes focused brake is all it needs to recover. Your blood pressure drops drastically during these few minutes and stays down for a long time afterwards. You’ll feel relax and happy.

Most people who practice my high blood pressure exercises are back to normal blood pressure within a week and totally off any medication. Even those suffering from ski-rocking high hypertension.

You can experience the same in only a few days.

Causes of Hypertension

December 16th, 2009 | Posted in hypertension   Comments Off

FREIDA HILL asked:


A majority of population is known to be suffering from hypertension. You will be surprised to know that Hypertension (or high blood pressure) kills around 50 million Americans per year. Hyper tension is the condition of having high blood pressure above 90 mm Hg between the heart beats (diastolic) or over 140 mm Hg at the beats (systolic).

Hypertension is the condition of having high blood pressure and affects about 50 million Americans, many of whom have not been diagnosed till yet. Here are some reasons behind its occurrence:

Obesity

It has been stated that the risk of hypertension is about five times higher in obese people as compared to those having normal body weight. A definitive link between obesity and hypertension has been found using animal and clinical studies, from these it has been realized that many mechanisms are potential causes of obesity induced hypertension.

Sodium Intake: Sodium intake or high levels of salt in the daily diet are a major reason for the occurrence of hypertension. Approximately one third of the essential hypertensive population is responsive to sodium intake. Also, the water movement between cells and the interstitium plays a minor role compared to this.

Chronic overuse of alcohol is a potentially reversible cause of hypertension. Five percent of hypertension is due to alcohol consumption and 30 to 60 percent of alcoholics have hypertension. Alcohol-induced hypertension is more likely to occur in women than men. An overactive thyroid can cause the heart to pump faster and harder with the result being an elevated blood pressure.

Well, I have outlined some of the basic causes of hypertension or high blood pressure. Exercising, eating food with a lower percentage of sodium or salt and exercising daily could be some of the ways to ward off this situation.
