Hi!

I’m 19 (male). I had urinary tract infection 10 days ago (had fever too). The UTI is gone now (I took Nitrofurantoin to cure UTI). I took Nitrofurantoin (Nintoin) for 1 week (100 mg tablet 3 times a day) Now doctor found that I have fatty liver (Triglyceride is 219.0 mg/dl). So he gave me Atorvastatin (Atova) for Dyslipidemia (10 mg 2 times a day for 1 month) and some diet restictions. Suddenly my blood pressure went high (after finishing the nintoin course) so the doc gave me Furosemide (Lasix, 1 tablet per day for 5 days) . So at the moment I’m taking 2 medicines Atova and Lasix and I’m feeling very bad…. sick! I’m having problem breathing (doc said i dont have heart and lung problems) and feeling very weak (dizzy) like a dead man! I’m not like this. Usually I’m a strong person. I don’t know, what’s exactly happening but I’m not feeling well. Please help. Thanks!

Really confusing MATH word problem??? PPLZ HELP!?

In 1844 the French scientist J.L. Poiseuille found that at which a fluid such as blood flows through small tubes such as arteries and veins varies directly with the product of the pressure acting on the fluid and the fourth power of the radius of the tube. Assume that you have an artery 0.2 centimeters in radius through which blood flows at 400 cubic millimeters per second when acted upon by the normal pressure of 100 units.

A. Write the particular equation expressing flow rate in terms of pressure and radius

B. If the radius of the artery were reduced by 20% (to 0.16 cm) due to the build-up of cholesterol, what flow rate would be produced be the normal blood pressure of 100 units?

C. If the heart pumped hard enough to restore the flow rate of 400 cubic millimeters per second for the 0.16 cm artery, what would the blood pressure be?

D. Describe the effects on circulation rate and blood pressure of a relatively small buildup of cholesterol in the arteries.

I have a chemical imbalance, which brought on anxiety when I was 9 years old. I’m 20 right now so it was awhile now that I’ve had it. I am currently being weaned off Paxil so I’m experiencing some anxiety symptoms again. It all started back in November of last year. When I am at work lifeguarding, I sometimes get stressed and I feel my heart beating (palpitations) and it feels like I’m on the verge of a panic attack. Then my eyes will have very quick flashes that last only a second, like a blink. Sometimes they’re white sometimes they’re black. These ONLY happen at work, NOT at home or any other time. I know it’s from my anxiety because I got checked by my GP in November AND January and he said both times there’s no intracranial pressure in my eyes, and no damage. I was wondering, is there any remedies or techniques you guys use to calm yourself down?

I’ve experienced this for almost 6 months now and it hasn’t gotten worse, so I know it’s nothing major. It’s anxiety, and in my opinion possibly blood pressure/sugar related.

Thanks!

i gone through the kidney tests, blood sugar, urin test. all reports are normal. Even then usually i have blood pressure of 150/100 and heart bits are normally 83.

i am a diabetic and take isosorbide (a nitrate) for my heart.
I suffer from ED and should not take viagra or similar meds which can cause a fatal drop in blood pressure
Are the any herbal remedies that might work
PS this is a serious matter for me so please spare the wise cracks
thanks

I have been on Lisinopril(40 mg) for a few months and my blood pressure has went down but the side effects are very uncomfortable(coughing,blurry eye sight, slight dizziness).

My blood pressure still needs to be lower(I’m now at 140-150/77-80 and my pulse is always in the 60’s) but I want to get off this medication. My heart is fine, so no problem there.

After searching online for a natural remedy I came across this….http://www.levodyn.com/index.html

I see my doctor on the 23rd of this month and hopefully I can tell him this is what I want to use instead of the Lisinopril. Has anyone ever used it or heard of it before? Thanks.

I’ve tried to find online what the physical symptoms are of high blood pressure, what causes it & some home remedies to treat it. All I’ve read is that there are no physical signs of high blood pressure. But I’ve heard many people say they’ve felt bad & their BP must be up. I’m only 30. I don’t have health insurance. I went to the doctor Monday (had to pay) & for the 1st time in my life, I was told my BP was high, 140/90. The nurse askd if I’d been under a lot of stress, that answr is YES. So nthing else was said about it. I was worried about what they were going to tell me about something else, so she figured that’s what caused it to be high. I felt funny that day. Dizzy, weak, heart feeling like its racing & beating in my throat. Felt like I may pass out. I’ve felt like that every day since. So I’m worrying. Is that how high BP makes u feel? Can stress cause it? Can it be treated @ home? I don’t have ins. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

I am attempting to do this. Started with Garlic pills for my blood pressure that also have ingredients that help the heart. Also taking Cinnamon tablets and Fenugreek for my diabetes and will be adding a high dose biotin capsule this week. Any one heard of this biotin cure? Although most days I feel pretty good, there are times when I just get a little nervous and will take my B/P & diabetes medication as a precaution. I have no way of monitoring my blood pressure at this time except when I go to the doctor.

I’d like to hear from people who have successfully gotten off their medications and are going all natural. Tell me how you did it and anything else that will put my mind at ease. I really want to stop taking my prescriptions (especially Avandia) but have some concerns. Thanks.

I was recently diagnosed with SVT (super ventricular tachycardia.) My Dr. suggests either a procedure where they go in and zap the heart, or extra nodes in the heart, to cure this. It comes with risks of course. Or, I can take a beta blocker, which will also lower my high blood pressure as well. My question is, does anyone know what kind of meds of this type, does NOT cause one to have such frequent urge to urinate? Or less fatigue? My job does not allow me to run to the bathroom 20 million times a day. Or even 5-10 times a day. Of all the hundreds of different types of meds for these problems, there has to be someone out there who can give me a suggestion to give my Dr. He does not seem interested in helping me with this. Thanks for anything that is helpful.

(18 yrs old) I only had acid indigestion once in my life and my stomach bevcame so HUGE. During that time i was working at a place that had lots of health seeds. So i ate alot of pumking and flax and sunflower seeds and drank olive oil and drank ALOT of water (everyday) to try and stop the distention/bloating. Then eventually it was still there my stomach became so huge that i cud rest my cellphone on it. I started have stomach noises that makes me self concsious in class. Then i had green stool for a while and diahorrea. Now the stool thing and diahorrea has been cured, but my belly is still huge and i exercise alot and it affects my rather slim appearance greatly. I am a male. Those are the only symptoms. I took Gas X, but didnt see much difference, my heart also beated faster after taking gas x. i have high blood pressure. Also going to the doctor’s office in my nation is extreemly costly. SO please advice me please thank you. Any over the counter, any foods anything household products or ANYTHING PLEASE. THanks…
i stoped eating the seeds and drinking olive oil, but its still huge

I went to a neurologist for on going migraines, dizziness, comprehension and memory problems, weakness etc. These symptoms come and go every 3-4 months or so… He has sent me for a MRI and prescribed me beta blockers he said these will help with my migraines.
So will taking beta blockers make my migraines and dizziness go away? and also if he thinks this is the cure why is he sending me for a MRI?
I thought beta blockers were used for people with high blood pressure? My blood pressure is fine although my resting pulse rate is at the least on a good day 110… and no im not over weight and i have gone to a cardiologist and he said everything with my heart was fine.

I recently went to my doctor and was diagnosed with blood pressure and high/bad cholesterol levels. He also advised me that if I didn’t do anything about it, my heart would severely get worse. Now I know what you must be thinking…"Some fat guy with a poor diet and exercises very little, if any at all." This could not be farther from the truth. I am barley in my 30’s, 74" tall, and weigh 210 pounds. My doctor prescribed medication for both the blood pressure and cholesterol; however he told me that it was ok to take OTC vitamins to help.

My question to you all is this: "Am I taking too much of the vitamins below?" This is what I am currently taking:

Morning time / 6:00am
Fish Oil 2400 mg
Vitamin D 1000 i.u.
Super B-Complex (1 tablet)

Night time / 6:00pm
Fish Oil 2400 mg
Vitamin D 1000 i.u.
Super B-Complex (1 tablet)
"One a day" Men’s Health Formula, vitamin (1 tablet)

I am currently pondering the idea of adding a low dose of Niacin into the regiment. Maybe 100mg a day and night…that is if I can withstand the flush effect.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Considering that my symptoms originated as a hereditary condition and I’m in need of continuous medication. My diet and exercise are quite adequate and I’m in fact an active person but my high bp can bog me down at times. I do my daily prayers and meditation but it just seem to ‘remain’ there lingering and sudden stress can cause my pressure to rocket pretty high (which is bad for my heart).

Regular symptoms includes headaches, sleepiness (I can understand as I lack sleep sometimes), feeling of fatigue, stress, shortness of breath (as if the intake of ‘fresh air’ is not enough to fill my lungs) and swelling of glands behind my neck.

Thanks in advance

Have you ever heard of scleroderma? This is a rare condition that is increasing in frequency. It causes progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. It is 3 to 4 times more common in women than men, particularly younger African American women, but it can affect anyone. The cause is unknown, but researchers suggest that environmental and genetic factors play a role.
In typical cases, patients first develop skin thickening on the fingers or elsewhere. Patients may complain of cold, swelling, and puffy fingers and hands. Arthritic symptoms are also common throughout the body. As the disease progresses, additional organs are affected such as the heart, esophagus, joints, muscles, and lungs. Patients can develop sudden severe high blood pressure and even kidney failure. There is no specific blood test for the diagnosis, although many different tests will be abnormal. There are several treatments but no cure as yet..If you are looking for a Charity, Please give to Scleroderma.

she is over 70 years. She is diabetic. She takes medication for high blood pressure also so many kinds of medicine are prohibited on her.
Thanks for every body for their suggestions. She made all types of tests and x-rays. Doctors gave her medicines but her doctor prevented her from taking these medicines because it will affect the kidney, stomach and the heart. So I’m trying to give her something else than medical therapy unless it won’t affect her.

I just took our blood pressure on one of the little automatic home monitors, honestly, I have been trying to find it because I was a bit worried about him.

He’s 58, over 6ft, not overweight, he’s usually a bit breathless on exertion (smoker), but he’s started having some headaches lately, and saying it’s too hot when I don’t think it’s hot in the house, so I was wondering about his heart and his blood pressure and I hunted down the monitor.

It measured me at 110/62 (I’m 40 and female) but it measured him at 116/107 – that diastolic is way too high isn’t it? I know he’s older and older people do have higher diastolic pressure, but I didn’t think he was really old enough for it to be that high.

At 58 (drinker/smoker) it this real bad at his age or just a bit high and something we could cure with lifestyle changes?

Thank you.

I’m a pretty heathy person. I’m going to be 19 in 2 days,Average weight,No hypertension that i know of runs through my family.
I have anxiety problems though. Lately my stress level has been really bad. I’m not gonna take up time and write about what has been going on,but i have had it pretty rough lately. Well yesterday a friend of mine came over. He shares with me the same problems with his family over and over. I keep giving him advice and he doesn’t listen,so i told him i’m sick of hearing his stuff when he won’t doing anything about it and how it has been stressing me out. Previously i had drank some tea called Yerba Mate. It’s like green tea but a little different. It has alot of caffeine in it,at the time i didn’t know this would mess with my stress.
I felt really sick all of the sudden,i thought i was gonna barf. At this time i was still talking to my friend. I got up to go to the kitchen,i lend in the sink and i felt so dizzy i couldn’t even Stand up right,I couldn’t see,everything seemed super blurry and my hearing sounded all fuzzy when my mom was trying to ask if i’m okay. I couldn’t talk,i fainted on the floor. I ended u regaining consciousness and my mom called the ambulance,i couldn’t breathe right and i could feel my heart beating really fast,my hands and feet started to curl up and my wholebody went numb. They took me to the ER and said my blood pressure was 165 over 104
Which in turn was high blood pressure. The doc said it sounded like i was having a panic attack,but it just came in the middle of no where! I know i have been stressed,but i felt fine. What can i do to prevent stress and panic attacks?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
Forgot to add,i don’t rly like taking meds,is there any herbal things you know of i can take or some remedies you know of at all? Let me know.
Thanks

today i am 38 weeks, to my knowledge i am making no progress, but i don’t even know if that is for sure because my midwife hasn’t checked me at all.. i thought she would at 37 weeks but nope.. just the regular, heartbeat, blood pressure, weight and so on..
i’m in constant pain and i have these weird fears.. frankly, i really had my heart set on breastfeeding my son, cause i loved breastfeeding my daughter, but he’s going to be born with a cleft lip/palate and they told me i most likely won’t be able to breastfeed, they encourage me to pump but want to supplement him with formula after he’s born and still in the hospital…?? i find that depressing..
and then i have this horrible fear that i feel like crap about because i know he’s going to be born with a cleft i fear rejecting him, i can’t imagine i really would, i’ve been so looking forward to meeting him, but i have dreams where after i have the baby i don’t want to hold him or anything.. sigh.. I guess this isn’t a question…

At a given instant, the blood pressure in the heart is 1.90 104 Pa. If an artery in the brain is 0.50 m above the heart, what is the pressure in the artery? Ignore any pressure changes due to blood flow.

1060<mass density of blood that I use
which formula would i use since its in pascals?

Can somebody please explain why the vein has lower blood pressure than the artery or capillaries using physics? Hint: Use Bernoulli principle, and pressure formula possibly? Just give an good argument. Thanks.

P.S I know the mechanism of the heart pretty well, but I need physics to make a point.

Besides aspirin, do you know of any herbs or anything else I can use to keep my blood pressure lower? I don’t have a high blood pressure problem, but when I’m nervous my heart starts pounding to a ridiculous extent. So I’d appreciate any recommendations

Thank you for your help.

I smoke cigarettes (nothing else). I asked my 10 year old what he wanted for Christmas this year and he told me the only thing he really wants is for me to quit (bless his heart). Now, before I go talk to my doctor I just wanted to know what has worked for others who have quit smoking. Also before you blast me for smoking in the first place, yes I was a stupid 16 year old who wanted to look "cool" but got hooked, and no I’m not proud of it. And no, I don’t smoke around my kids either, I smoke out side.

And yes this is a serious question and yes I know it’s in the wrong section, but the M&D people are the only ones I would actually listen to for advice.

Hello,

Everytime I head for bed and I lay down on one of my sides (left, right… doesn’t matter) …I feel my heart beating, so loud that I can’t fall asleep. This does not occur when I’m laying on my back. I’ve had Helicobacter Pylori diagnosed and I’ve been treated with anti-biotics, the heartbeats dissapeared during the treatment and a while after but now they’re back. The heartpulse also makes a cracking sound around my armpits. I’ve done two blood pressure tests on the same machine and they had two completely different readings:

first:
upper: 127 mmHg
lower: 77 mmHg
pulse: 65 ppm

second:
upper: 162 mmHg
lower: 87 mmHg
pulse: 55 mmHg

the second one worries me a bit, low pulse high pressure?

Is there a way to mute these annoying heartbeats? I miss sleeping like a rock. And should i worry about my pressure?

Thanks!

am 45. Fruitarian-Rawfoodist , 150 for 6.2. I was on 2 blood pressure medications for a few years but because of my diet & weight loss , my blood pressure dropped to 100/65 and I almost passed out. I was told to stop the medications then resume when it get to 140/80. I don’t wish to resume my meds but I would like to try an alternative treatment. I purchased some hawthorn berry pills. So far it has reduce my heart beats from 95 to 80 but in order to reduce my BP how many should I take? I only take 1 per day. My BP is now between 125/83 to 145/98 during the day. Thanks

The largest-ever study of treatments for diabetes has shown that a fixed combination of two blood pressure lowering drugs reduces the risk of death, as well as the risks of heart and kidney disease.

A friend of mine is often woken at night by a shot breath and after that his heart start pounding fast.But he most of the time have a partial ache in the chest and a short of breath.

What could be the reason for frequent blood pressure fluctuations and nose-bleeding? All tests (heart,kidneys etc) are normal. Is it in any way dangerous? Please advise. Any treatment?

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?

if i am feeling weak, faint, very dizzy,seeing black,and if my heart is beating really fast …are those symtoms of low blood pressure?

I know this sounds ridiculous. i’m 16 years old, and i think i have high blood pressure. only because whenever i just even do the smallest activity like walking up the stairs, i kinda lose my breath. and then when i run i feel like my heart’s going to explode and i can’t breathe. i’ve ran cross country and track for two years already too.. do i have high blood pressure? if so, what can i do?
