Hypotension Vs Hypertension – High Vs Low Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is a common medical problem. It seems to happen as we age, as we become overweight and in some cases because of racial or family history.

Low blood pressure isn't talked about much at all. That does not mean it's safe. Aside from the fact that when it's at zero the person is dead, it can create problems of its own.

Causes

Pregnancy : A pregnant woman can have, at one time or another through gestation, both. In the early months, particularly if morning sickness tends to last all day, low blood pressure is a problem. It is one of the causes of fainting during pregnancy.

Towards the end of gestation another complication can occur. It starts with pre-eclampsia , a rise in blood pressure and a rise in protein in the urine. This can move on to toxemia in pregnancy which is dangerous for both mother and child. This is treated by bed rest, medications and sometimes an emergency ceserean section. The birth of the child usually ends the problem.

Medications : Supplements and medications can play a role in both hypo – and hypertension. Over the counter medications can be involved with both. Medications to reduce blood pressure can drop it too low. Other medical conditions are also a cause in both.

Posture : Pregnant women are warned never to stand up quickly, especially early in the pregnancy. It can cause light headedness and fainting, due to hypotension. Older individuals may have the same difficulties. It is caused by the pooling of some of the blood in the lower extremeties decreasing blood flow through the torso.

Prevention : The best prevention for both conditions is talking to your doctor and your pharmacist. This will help you avoid medicines that will make your condition worse as well as find out what is causing the problems. In some cases, simple changes can keep the numbers in the proper areas.

Big Muscles On Small Bones

I was a skinny, scrawny kid growing up. Throughout elementary school there was only one other kid that I knew who was skinnier than me. I had no natural genetics to rely upon. When I became interested in building my body at 15 years old I felt like I would be fighting a losing battle, so to speak. I began exercising at 15 but began serious bodybuilding (not competing) at age 16. I finished my freshman year in high school as a skinny guy who was usually picked last or almost last for teams. I returned back to school after the summer break as a sophomore with a new body with big, shapely muscles. This is a true story! Some of my friends whom I knew since grade school said, “What happened to you?” “You’re buff now!” Well, let me tell you what happened to me. I got ahold of some very valuable information when I ordered a bodybuilding course. This course included both weight and non weight workout routines which were mailed to me weekly. I applied these routines as well as the advice regar

8 Top Countries' Dietary Advice for Pregnancy

In every culture, all over the world, even in obscure little towns and settlements, everyone has a theory about what a pregnant woman should, or should not eat. There seems to be no universally established diet for the "pregnant woman." Some say one thing and in a different part of the world some say the opposite.
