How to Lower Blood Pressure While Pregnant - 6 Helpful Techniques

Gestational hypertension or high blood pressure in pregnancy can be perilous for both the mother and the unborn child. It can reduce the flow of the blood to the placenta, decrease birth weight, and cause premature delivery.

However, the dangers are negligible for as long as women are constantly examined during pregnancy. Preeclampsia, a severe blood pressure situation during pregnancy, usually occurs if the blood pressure gets bad; that is why continuous monitoring is very essential to guarantee a healthy delivery of the baby.

So, what are the methods on how to lower hypertension while pregnant? Listed below are some guidelines that will serve as references.

1. There are a lot of medicines that are not safe to take during pregnancy, although they are considered effective for treating hypertension. Drugs with ACE inhibitors and beta blockers are said to have detrimental side effects while pregnant.

These medicines should only be prescribed under cautious supervision by a professional doctor. Methyldopa has been studied to give best results in treating hypertension during pregnancy.

2. Getting plenty of rest is always recommended for pregnant women with high blood pressure. It is good to take a nap all through the day and avoid getting very exhausted.

3. Get rid of fried foods. Oil can upsurge in your arteries if you constantly eat fried foods or foods rich in concentrated oil. This build up in the arteries constricts the path of flowing blood, thereby elevating blood pressure. In case you want to eat fried foods, balance your diet with fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. Doing a lot of exercise and monitoring your weigh is also advised. During a hypertensive pregnancy, swimming and walking are excellent for pregnant women. During pregnancy, women should avoid gaining too much weight to prevent the heart from getting stressed.

5. Eat foods or take in dietary supplements that are rich in potassium. Foods such as chicken, avocados, tomatoes, orange juice, and bananas are said to be rich in potassium.

6. To reduce your stress levels and help alleviate your blood pressure, try to practice relaxation methods like yoga or breathing exercises. These techniques can be very much useful in reducing tension or anxiety and stirring up relaxation.

Delivery is the only solution if medications, rest, and diet modification do not work even if it calls for premature delivery. Mothers should always be aware of the right techniques to do on how to lower blood pressure while pregnant to prevent any dangerous preterm birth. At the same time, they should remain under the secure care of her doctor to avoid further complications.

How Can I Lower My Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?

When do we say that a person(s) is suffering with Blood Pressure?

Blood Pressure also called as Hypertension has become a very common among us these days. Blood Pressure in short called as B.P. is one's systolic pressure and diastolic pressure measurements. If we consult a doctor he wraps a band around our biceps and records the measurement for example:- 120/80. Here 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure. One may be enigmatic over what are these systolic and diastolic pressures are? Let me explain you....

Systolic pressure is the force exerted by the heart on the blood vessels when it pumps blood whereas Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels when heart is relaxed. Both these measurements are important to make a note.

A person suffering from high values of these pressures is said to be having high B.P.

Well, with this understanding lets go deep and know the affects of B.P. But before that lets know the causes

Causes for B.P.?

Over Anxiety, Enormous Exercises, Nervousness are some of the causes to have high reading of the measurements(systolic and diastolic pressures).Before knowing the affect of each of the above causes lets know what happens if we neglect this?Neglecting this may hampers one's health. We may face premature strokes and also heart attacks. It is advised to consult a Physician when the you feel uncomfortable.

Now lets know each factor causing BP in detail

Every one has blood pressure and this varies from individual to individual. Some may have High value which causes health problems. Researchers say that there are some factors which we cannot be controlled on the other hand we also have some factors that we can control in order to keep it in limits. Are you thinking "how can i lower my blood pressure?" So, lets know what are those factors that we can control.

Exercise makes oneself Healthy. Regular exercise contribute for well being and healthy body. A scheduled work out like walking, jogging, swimming, cycling will keep your body fit.

Another important factor is food, What we eat? And How much we eat? is very much a important concern in keeping ourselves healthy. Eating a Fibre rich, Fat low, high protein and Low Cholesterol food such as vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, mangoes, leafy vegetables, pulses etc., will make us healthy. Try to avoid junk food which disturbs your appetite.

Alcohol & Smoking are another important factors on which we can have a regulation. Over consumption of alcohol will affect the human health. We don't say you to stop consuming it completely but limit yourself to a peg or two. We know that Smoking is Injurious to Health. Smoking causes peripheral vascular disease as well as hardening of the arteries. So stop smoking and let your life go rocking.

Add Salt to taste in your food because Excessive usage of Salt in your diet increases B.P. It seems to be puzzling, but its a fact. Sodium is the major content in salt. The human adult needs 1teaspoon of table salt per day on an average this amount to an equivalent of approximately 2 to 3 grams of salt. A low-sodium diet may decrease the likelihood of heart or kidney disease and stroke and also B.P.

Hereditary High Blood Pressure Can Be Reversed in the Next Generation

Hypertension is normally associated with heredity factors. Hereditary high blood pressure is common since almost all families have a family member or members who had history of this disease.

Opposed to this, a scientist named Lewis Dahl performed a research on laboratory animals linking genes as one of the causes of high blood pressure. However, the results proved that majority of the animals did not develop essential hypertension but 1 percent to 2 percent was associated with secondary hypertension.

Meaning, it was due to illness and the blood pressure will return to normal once the illness is treated. Hence, based on the study of Mr. Dahl, high blood pressure is not hereditary.

Providing a conclusion therefore that high blood pressure therefore is associated with the environment, with contributing factors such as food, lifestyle and stress. What we actually inherit are the eating habits, preferences, lifestyle and manner of handling stress which will be prevalent in the environment we grew up in. What we put into our body is what we are projecting, what we developed while living in a specific environment will explain why we put it in our body.

Similarly, it is wise to associate family member if your genes are prone to hypertension. Learn to know by doing a family tree beginning with the information about; age, relative with blood pressure, weight, regular exercise habits, and the likes.

Sometimes proper communication with the afflicted family member is necessary to get a first-hand information of his food and lifestyle habits.Based on all information gathered, an analysis can be made.

Once the family tree is made, take note of the following data:

1. A consistent or repeating pattern on family members that was afflicted with the disease. Tracing can start from grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins all the way to the great-great origins. Segregating the men from the women with high blood pressure.

2. Overweight family members either lacking regular exercise or obesity will show up in the later years. Noting if those fitness buffs are affected by high blood pressure.

3. Lastly, if ever there are family members who are fond of alcoholic beverages, note if they have high blood pressure.

From the above, an analysis is feasible that hereditary high blood pressure will crop-up based on percentage of occurrences. There is no longer the need to experiment since one way or the other, your family member or even you will have high blood pressure. Therefore, proper dietary intake and lifestyle will now change for the better.

If a person then was brought up with the values of taking care of the body, then, it is also his body that will take care of him in the twilight years of his life.Hence, hereditary blood pressure can be compensated by teaching the next generation the gentle care of one's body.

Exercise to Help High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure has the distinction of being known as a silent killer. This is because people suffering from hypertension show may not show any outward signs of this ailment. And, whether it's poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, stress or just some sort of genetic hiccup, the average American's blood pressure is shooting higher and higher as the years go on. There are other reasons for this increase as well. Certain ethnic groups are more prone to high blood pressure than others and the United States has sizeable communities of almost every ethnic group so, on average, the U.S is showing a higher percentage of people with this problem.

Poor diet is another. Americans literally eat tons and tons of processed food, which has long-term side effects that contribute to poor health in general. And of course stress is a major problem as well. Americans tend to work more and have less downtime than our parents did. Where we used to be able to survive largely on one income, those days are gone and now most families are dual-income families.

But the number one reason hypertension has become such an issue for Americans is because of our lack of exercise. To lower blood pressure, exercise has been proven time and again to be the best method. Yet, with demands for work, children, school, church, and other commitments, it is extremely hard to find time to exercise.

So which blood pressure exercise would be most beneficial to you? Well, consider this excerpt from the Mayo Clinic, one of the most highly regarded medical facilities in the world:

"How are high blood pressure and exercise connected? Regular physical activity makes your heart stronger. A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort. If your heart can work less to pump, the force on your arteries decreases, lowering your blood pressure."

Don't be scared off by the phrase "regular physical activity." This simply means pick something you like and do it on a regular basis. You can walk, run, job, bike, swim, even use a rowing machine. Just do it for a minimum of 20 minutes a day at least four to five times a week. That's the best way to start. This exercise will strengthen your heart, as the Mayo Clinic excerpt says, and putting less burden on your heart will make you healthier overall.

There's also a secondary benefit to aerobic exercise, in that in a larger majority of people, exercise has proven to be a good stress reliever. This is a two-for one deal! You are eliminating two of the main causes of hypertension. A third benefit is that regular exercise means you'll lose weight, which should lower your blood pressure even more.

So start your exercise program sooner rather than later. Do some jumping jacks, go for a jog, row on your rowing machine. Anything you do to strengthen your heart will be a good way to help eliminate hypertension.

Knowing Your Blood Test Results' Meaning

Even if you are not a medical professional, it is a good idea to know the meanings of your blood test results. If you have a basic knowledge about your blood test, you will not need too be as worried. You could also discuss your condition with your doctor as well. A typical blood test will check for complete blood count (CBC), electrolytes, blood glucose and liver enzymes. Here is an explanation of the results of a blood test.

A CBC will examine red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC) and platelets. It will also check for hematocrit and hemoglobin. A low RBC count may indicate that you have anemia. The RBC count will be abnormally high if you have fluid loss in the body due to dehydration, diarrhea or burn. A very high WBC count means the presence of infection.

Electrolytes examined in a blood test include sodium, potassium, calcium, bicarbonate and chloride. Sodium plays a critical role in maintaining fluid balance in your body. You may have low a concentration of sodium if you are taking diuretics, have a kidney disease, or experiencing diarrhea. An increase in potassium levels could indicate a kidney problem. An abnormal potassium level is also an indication of possible heart trouble. An abnormally low or high level of bicarbonate could mean problems in the kidney and lungs.

Blood glucose testing is performed to check if you have diabetes. Hypoglycemia is the condition wherein you have very low level of glucose in the blood. Its symptoms include weakness, dizziness, fainting and even collapse. Liver enzyme testing helps to monitor if your liver is healthy. High levels of both glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (sGPT) and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (sGOT) means damaged liver cells, as in the case of patients with viral hepatitis.

There is nothing wrong in knowing the meaning of your blood test results. In fact, your doctor will appreciate your efforts in learning anything that could help improve your health or help treat your condition. No one is more concerned of your health than you are.

Let the cold blood flow on it's own. Kiss me coldly, And fall away from the soul. Long forgotten... From which of this oak shall I hang myself? These ebony halls are always dark. From which frostbitten bough shall I die? As dark as the winter, As black as her ghastly veil, As cold as her whisper, And chilling gown. No corridors of life and beauty, These enchanted halls are stained with the blood of night. Ebony halls gleam as ghosts of a fire. Dance wickedly across a pantheon of marble... These weary eyes shall open no more, Frozen tightly by the cold embrace of death. A charnel house of memories torn and burning melancholy shall embrace me now. Hear this call... Beyond endless halls and far across the vast forest, Just across the iron gates, Whispers... As dark as the winter, As black as her grim mask of death, As cold as her sorrow, Her ivory tears. No corridors of life and beauty. No bloodred sky. No colors left in this world. It was the light's end. Album: Pale Folklore Year: 1999

Blood in My Urine? You Might Have Hematuria

Some people freak out when they see blood in their urine, and they should. Hematuria, or blood in the urine can be broken into different states.

Hematuria, or blood in the urine:

Microscopic Hematuria is when their is just a bit of blood in the urine and is usually found with a microscope. Not sure how many of you have a microscope around the house.

Gross Hematuria is the obvious state of bloody pee. Gross Hematuria is usually discovered when you go to the bathroom. Bloody urine will be extremely noticable. If you find your unhealthy urine in this state you should start paying attention to your body. The water can be pale pink, or bright red, or even a few spots of blood can be seen.

Ladies! If you catch blood then you know that it can be from your cycle. If it's not your time then maybe you have Gross Hematuria. Fellas! If you notice bloody urine it could also be from bloody ejaculation, if so then you are in for serious problems with your prostate so get your boys checked.

Bloody Urine Fallacies:

There are certain foods that can make you think you have bloody urine. Beets, drugs, and other foods may fool you, so pay attention to your diet.

Some Causes of Bloody Urine or Hematuria:

Bloody urine is mostly related to a bigger life threatening issue - YOUR KIDNEYS!!! There are a lot of good home remedies that can help you delude or dissolve kidney stones. Some call for Lemon Juice and Olive Oil. I dissolved my stones but not with this old wives tale recipe. I used a stronger home remedy that wiped my stones out quickly.

So what causes Kidney Stones & UTI's

- Fractured Pelvis
- Bladder Cancer
- Kidney or Bladder Stones
- Kidney disease
- Kidney Failure
- Bladder infections
- Inflamed Urethra, Kidney or Bladder
- Polycystic Kidney Disease
- UTI procedures from circumcision, surgery, kidney biopsy or from a catheter

Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

If you've recently visited the doctor and found out you have both high blood pressure and high cholesterol, you are at very high risk for debilitating problems such as heart attacks or strokes. High blood pressure and cholesterol both have to do with decreasing the health of your blood vessel system. this is vtial to life because you need your blood to travel freely from your pumping heart to your working arms, legs, brain, and other organs.

Lower blood pressure and cholesterol can save your life if you know how to do it properly.

First, Let's talk about high blood pressure...

High blood pressure is when your blood vessels constrict (shrink) causing the blood to force itself through a smaller space. You can already see how this can cause problems. This increases the chance for plaque to built clots and also reduces blood flow to vital organs which can cause circulatory problems.

High Blood Pressure can Cause:


Heart Attack
Stroke
Reduced Blood Circulation

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

Many times,. nobody knows what causes this problem, but we do know that being African American increases your chances. Lack of exercise, smoking, and eating salty foods also increases your chances. In addition, not enough potassium and too much alcohol consumption can also increase your risk.

It is difficult to really find out what causes this problem, but I'm sure you have some idea. If you don't maybe it is caused by high salt intake. Think about what you eat and see if your food has higher salt content that you thought. If you eat canned or prepackaged foods, chances are you are eating a vast quantity of salt and don't know it.

Old age also has something to do with high blood pressure. When we get older our bodies are less likely to handle the bad habits as they did in the past.

Let's Talk About High Cholesterol...

High cholesterol is a problem that develops when our bodies contain too much bad cholesterol (LDL) and not enough good cholesterol or (hdl). So what is good and bad cholesterol? First, cholesterol is a substance our bodies use to protect cells. Cholesterol is transformed by the liver into 2 different types of cholesterol. Good cholesterol makes sure to remove extra cholesterol from the body, while bad cholesterol brings more to the cells. The bad cholesterol is the culprit so you need to learn how to reduce the those levels.

What Causes High Cholesterol?

The cause of high cholesterol is similar to high blood pressure. Poor habits like lack of exercise and high fat foods increase your chances. Most of us eat foods like beef, pork, and other fatty meats, but we usually lack the necessary vegetables, fruits,and nuts that offer benefits and reduce cholesterol. In addition, having high cholesterol and heart disease running in the family never helps.

How to lower High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

There's good news and bad news here:

Good News - You can lower blood pressure and high cholesterol with the same strategies
Bad News - These strategies require real work and effort

Exercise - Running

Obviously exercise is important, but especially running. Think about it, if you run, every limb in your body is moving. If your biking, your arms and your chest are completely still. When you run, your arms are flailing, your legs are stomping, your lungs are fluctuating.

A word of warning: start off slow and build up to a faster pace in time. If you have not exercised in a long time, walk fast every day for a week before you even start to jog. Start to jog for a week slowly and then if you could handle that start running at a slow pace.Always ask your doctor before you start an exercise regiment. In some cases, running can be harmful because high blood pressure constricts blood movement. This is why you start slow. Think about it though, if you successfully run daily you will increase blood movement and expand those vessels. This is what running does for people. Your vessels expand naturally to make room for blood movement. When you stop running, your blood can safely move through wider more luxurious veins.

Running also helps increase the good cholesterol and lower the bad cholesterol in the body, This is the easy natural way of lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

Eating the Right Foods

Most people with high cholesterol and blood pressure have diets consisting mostly of fast food. Before I talked about how many of us like to eat fatty and salty foods, remember? Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and certain fish are essential for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

Some people don't realize this, but they eat fish, a normally healthy food, but don't realize how high the salt content is. Many salt water fish contain almost 150% and more of our daily requirement for salt. This is just something that happens naturally since the fish lives in the water. Eating fish like trout is a great alternative is halibut, trout, or cod.

Vegetables of all kinds are good for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. Food like:


Broccoli
Apples
Grapes
Walnuts

Eating these foods will help with both problems. Make sure the nuts are still in the shell or prepared without any sale at all. You really can make this much worse by adding salt to your diet.

Taking a Supplement

The most important of all proven strategies is taking a supplement designed especially for decreasing both high blood pressure and cholesterol. These supplements are designed for accomplishing both tasks. With a special blend of blood pressure and cholesterol lowering ingredients, you will find quick effective results.

How to Lower Your Blood Pressure Quickly

In most cases, the secondary diseases that follow the high blood pressure manifest long time after the hypertension and it's symptoms appear. To provide a treatment for hypertension and to lower blood pressure quickly it is significant to discover it's existence in the beginning phase, before it can generate extremely bad harms to the other organs in the body. The fact that the people are more aware of this problem and they are conscious that they have to lower their blood pressure quickly and also the publicity made for the screening programmes that can detect high blood pressure in a very early stage contribute to the favorable results in the treatment of hypertension.

The lowering of blood pressure quickly in the beginning phase can lead to the decrease of the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney failure. To lower the blood pressure quickly, patients which are pre-hypertensive should change their lifestyle. And this becomes more important if we take into consideration the fact that it hasn't been proved yet that medicines lower quickly blood pressure for these patients.

For the treatment of high blood pressure, in order to lower blood pressure quickly, it is necessary to note the blood pressure reading. To quickly lower the blood pressure that is higher than 140/90 mm Hg, people have to modify their lifestyle and take the right medicines. For the people whose diastolic pressure stays at a borderline level which is under 90 mm Hg and constantly situates above 85 mmHg, a more aggressive treatment is indicated for lowering quickly the blood pressure. There are cases when the borderline diastolic pressure generates end-organ harm, which in most cases related with systolic hypertension and some factors that can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and particularly at the patients which are older than 65 years, who are smokers and have hyperlipemia and diabetes.
To lower the blood pressure quickly, no matter the phase of hypertension, the patients can begin with any of the distinct classes of medication with the exception of the alpha-blocker medications, because they can be combined only with another anti-hypertensive medication and only in certain medical cases. Some patients who need to lower blood pressure quickly at times have coexisting medical conditions in which situation a certain class of anti-hypertensive medication or a combination of which may be considered as the first approach in the treatment of hypertension. The fundamental reason behind this is to assure a lower blood pressure quickly and at the same time to treat the coexisting medical condition.

Causes and Symptoms of Blood Transfusion Reaction

What is this Condition? Transfusion reaction accompanies or follows intravenous administration of blood components. Its severity varies from mild (fever and chills) to severe (acute kidney failure or complete vascular collapse and death), depending on the amount of blood transfused, the type of reaction, and the person's general health.

What Causes it? Hemolytic reactions (red blood cell rupture) follow transfusion of mismatched blood. Transfusion with incompatible blood triggers the most serious reaction, marked by intravascular clumping of red blood cells. The recipient's antibodies (immunoglobulin G or M) adhere to the donated red blood cells, leading to widespread clumping and destruction of the recipient's red blood cells and, possibly, the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation and other serious effects.

Transfusion with Rh-incompatible blood triggers a less serious reaction within several days to 2 weeks. Rh reactions are most likely in women sensitized to red blood cell antigens by prior pregnancy or by unknown factors, such as bacterial or viral infection, and in people who have received more than five transfusions.

Allergic reactions are fairly common but only occasionally serious. Febrile nonhemolytic reactions, the most common type of reaction. apparently develop when antibodies in the recipient's plasma attack antIgens.

Bacterial contamination of donor blood, although fairly uncommon, can occur during donor phlebotomy. Also possible is contamination of donor blood with viruses (such as hepatitis), cytomegalovirus, and the organism causing malaria.

What are its Symptoms? Immediate effects of hemolytic transfusion reaction develop within a few minutes or hours after the start of transfusion and may include chills, fever, hives, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, tightness in the chest, chest and back pain, low blood pressure. bronchospasm, angioedema, and signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, shock, pulmonary edema, and congestive heart failure. In a person having surgery under anesthesia, these symptoms are masked, but blood oozes from mucous membranes or the incision.

Delayed hemolytic reactions can occur up to several weeks after transfusion, causing fever, an unexpected decrease in serum hemoglobin, and jaundice.

Allergic hemolytic reactions typically don't cause a fever and are characterized by hives and angioedema, possibly progressing to cough, respiratory distress, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vascular instability, shock, and coma.

The hallmark of febrile nonhemolytic reactions is a mild to severe fever that may begin when the transfusion starts or within 2 hours after its completion.

Bacterial contamination causes high fever, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and, possibly, shock. Symptoms of viral contamination may not appear for several weeks after transfusion.

How is it Diagnosed? Confirming a hemolytic transfusion reaction requires proof of blood incompatibility and evidence of hemolysis. When such a reaction is suspected, the person's blood is retyped and crossmatched with the donor's blood.

When bacterial contamination is suspected, a blood culture should be done to isolate the causative organism.

How is it Treated? At the first sign of a hemolytic reaction, the transfusion is stopped immediately. Depending on the nature of the person's reaction, the health care team may:

o monitor vital signs every 15 to 30 minutes, watching for signs of shock

o maintain an open intravenous line with normal saline solution, insert an indwelling urinary catheter, and monitor intake and output

o cover the person with blankets to ease chills

o deliver supplemental oxygen at low flow rates through a nasal cannula or hand-held resuscitation bag (called an Ambu bag)

o administer drugs such as intravenous medications to raise blood pressure and normal saline solution to combat shock, Adrenalin to treat shortness of breath and wheezing, Benadryl to combat cellular histamine released from mast cells, corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and Osmitrol or Lasix to maintain urinary function. Parenteral antihistamines and corticosteroids are given for allergic reactions (arlaphylaxis, a severe reaction, may require Adrenalin). Drugs to reduce fever are administered for febrile nonhemolytic reactions and appropriate intravenous antibiotics are given for bacterial contamination.

Blood Pressure Basics

There are no hard and fast figures which represent a normal blood pressure. And very often doctors and other experts cannot even decide between them what an ideal blood pressure range is for an adult.

However it is usually agreed that somewhere between 110/70 and 125/80 is considered to be an average blood pressure for a grown person, though someone with naturally low blood pressure may be closer to a range of 100/60

A blood pressure of 140/90 is considered to be high, though as a person gets older, this falls into the more normal range for people.

Blood doesn't circulate in an even stream around the body, but travels in a constant series of spurts. Therefore the pressure peaks in the blood vessels just after a heart beat and then ebbs until the next one. This is a continuous process.

The two blood pressure figures represent the pressures when the forces are at their peak and at their lowest ebb. The stronger the arteries are, the more they resist the force of the blood and the lower the blood pressure.

As a person gets older, and the elasticity of their arteries weakens, the figures tend to rise. However the lower figure should still be under 90 until that person at least reaches their sixties.

Many studies looking at blood pressure in both black and white people have found there is a higher prevalence of hypertension (High blood pressure) in black people than there is in white. This has led to further research in determining whether this is racially determined or just based on socioeconomic and dietary factors.

Some people suffering high blood pressure may find they just can't pinpoint a cause for their problem. They may be fit, have a very healthy lifestyle yet their blood pressure remains consistently high for no apparent reason. This is called Primary or essential high blood pressure. However if the raised blood pressure is due to an underlying medical problem, it is known as Secondary High Blood Pressure.

Nearly one in four people in the Western world have high blood pressure. Many people don't appreciate it is a dangerous condition that can lead to a heart attack kidney failure or stroke if it is left untreated. Yet there are thousands of people unaware they have high blood pressure who are walking around with a lethal time bomb ticking away inside them.

Pregnancy Blood Test

Pregnancy blood-test measures the level of pregnancy hormone and HCG present in the bloodstream. HCG can be detected in the urine and blood within 7-12 days of conceiving.

There are two types of pregnancy blood test done.

1. Qualitative test- This indicates whether HCG is present or not present by answering in the affirmative or in the negative. This test is very similar to the homemade pregnancy test.

2. Qualitative test- This test gives the exact proportion of HCG in the bloodstream. This gives you the approximate age of the fetus. The progress of pregnancy is also determined by this test.

Pregnancy blood-testis performed by collecting blood in a syringe and then sent to the lab to find the level of HCG in it. This takes a maximum of 2 days to obtain the results.

If the test is done very early this test may fail to determine the HCG level present in the blood. This test can be done several times on your doctor's recommendation, in case he wants to determine the progress of your pregnancy.

Symptoms, of pregnancy like, delayed menstruation, pelvic pain, vomiting, and breast tenderness if occurs, one must immediately get the pregnancy test done. Recent studies reveal that blood test is more accurate than urine test. Blood test is recommended for women who are less than 4 weeks pregnant.

The reliability of blood test depends more on the technique and methodology of the lab. Although blood test is considered to be the most accurate, the test could be wrong if the woman has been using fertility drugs and if the test id performed very early.

Besides the pregnancy blood-test a number of other blood- test are conducted too; to determine the mother blood type, anemia, to detect some dangerous diseases such as chicken pox and rubella, diabetes, to detect the presence of twins and to detect down syndrome and neural defects.

Pregnancy blood test is one of the easiest ways of knowing if a woman is pregnant or not. It is very interesting thing to note that lots of women trust pregnancy blood test and whenever they miss a menstrual cycle, they go for this test to confirm if they are pregnant or not. Pregnancy is something which women have to be careful about. A pregnant woman needs to take care of her health more than ever. Thus it is important that she knows about her pregnancy as early as possible. Thus such tests are a great help and can bring results very quickly. By doing this test the woman becomes sure of the fact if she is pregnant or not. This helps her in taking the decision of going to see a doctor regarding the physical issues she will be facing in coming few weeks.

Acceptable Blood Glucose Levels May Vary, Understand Them and Stay in Control

We have often heard doctors advising diabetics to ensure that blood glucose levels are normal. In other words it is very important to maintain acceptable blood glucose levels. The concentration of blood sugar in a mammal's blood is the blood glucose level, which is usually expected to be in a reference range between 4mmol/L and 6mmol/L. Levels higher than that range are a cause of concern and need medication as per doctor's advice. Failure to maintain normal levels leads to hyperglycemia (higher level) or hypoglycemia (lower level). Acceptable blood sugar levels cannot be specific values, and your doctor would be the best person to answer what is safe for you depending upon your health status.

Normal values of blood glucose level

The blood glucose level varies at different times of the day. In most humans you would normally find the levels within a range of 80mg/dL to 110mg/dl i.e. 3.9 to 6.0mmol/L. The level goes up temporarily shortly after eating up to maybe 140mg/dL. The level is on a lower side in the early morning before you have your first meal.

Blood sugar tests and their normally acceptable blood glucose levels

* Fasting blood sugar test: The fasting blood sugar test is conducted after you fast for at least eight hours. The normal range for this test is 70 to 100mg/dL or 3.9 to 5.6mmol/L.
* Random blood sugar test: This test is conducted to measure blood sugar at any point in time of the day. Though there is no specific level defined, the sugar level should not be acceptable if higher than 200mg/dL i.e. 11.1mmol/L.
* Oral glucose tolerance test: This test measures the response of your body to sugar intake. First the fasting blood sugar level is measured. Then you are given a sugary solution and your blood sugar level is measured after 1 hour and then after 2 hours after you have the solution. This test is often used to screen pregnant women for gestational diabetes. The normal sugar level for this test is lower than 141mg/dL i.e. 7.8mmol/L.
* A1C test (glycated hemoglobin): This test is used to gauge how well you are managing your diabetes. This test is used to measure your average blood sugar for the past two to three months. It shows what percentage of hemoglobin is sugar coated (glycated). The acceptable level for non diabetics is 4 to 6 percent. For the diabetics the normal acceptable level is lower than 7 percent. Doctors may recommend it to be 6% during pregnancy. The level more than 7 may indicate a change to your diabetes treatment plan.

It is very important to know the higher values as well. There can be different reasons for higher levels other than diabetes, like severe stress, heart attack, stroke, medicines like corticosteroids or excess production of growth hormone. Doctors may advice you to take different tests to find if you have diabetes. Usually the criteria is fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL i.e. 7.0mmol/L or higher, for oral glucose tolerance test of 200 mg/dL i.e. 11.1mmol/L and other symptoms of diabetes like frequent urination, unexplained weight loss and increase in appetite, fatigue etc.

The acceptable blood glucose levels may vary depending upon your diabetes and other health conditions. Your doctor would be the best person to express the most acceptable levels. Ensure that you regularly test your sugar level and take due care, medication, exercises, and diet control to keep it within the acceptable range.

Drink lots of water because it is calorie free and helps to flush away the toxins. Flavored water, an excellent healthy drink for diabetics! Did you know that flavored carbonated water has no calories, sugar, body, sweetener, color or preservatives? Read more about flavored and carbonated water at carbonatedseltzerwater

Broken Blood Vessels Cause Dark Circles Under Eyes

Millions of people have dark circles under eyes. Most have inherited the color and characteristics of their lower eyelid from their parents. Dark circles under eyes often appear during childhood, many people telling me they first noticed their dark circles when they were 9 or 10 years old.

There are many causes of dark circles under eyes, but in this article I am going to focus on broken blood vessels, small vascular (blood vessel) structures in the lower eyelid skin. Broken blood vessels are the easiest cause of dark circles under eyes to treat and correct.

How Broken Blood Vessels Cause Dark Circles under Eyes?

Actually what most people call broken blood vessels are not really broken blood vessels. What most people see are visible blood vessels (vascular structures) on the skin in areas that they do not expect to see blood vessels. These small vessels are arterioles, venules, and capillaries. Arterioles carry fresh blood to the skin and venules take old blood away from the skin, back to the heart and lungs to be refreshed with oxygen. Capillaries connect the arterioles and venules.

Normally blood vessels are deeper in the skin and not visible. Visible or broken blood vessels become noticeable in the following situations:

o Thin Skin- The eyelid skin is the thinnest skin in the body. The eyelid skin is only 1/6 the thickness of the skin on the rest of the face. The skin is so thin that you can see through it. You can actually see the small arterioles and venules in the skin of the eyelid. These same structures are present in all skin but are not visible in thicker skin elsewhere in the body. The lower eyelid muscle is purple, and this color is visible through the eyelid skin. That is why all lower eyelids have a darker color. This color is what most people refer to as dark circles under eyes.

o Telangiectasias or Spider Veins- The arterioles, venules and capillaries in dark circles under the eyes can be dilated or enlarged a condition called telangiectasia or often referred to as spider veins. Telangiectasias are most often caused by heredity. However, aging, pregnancy, use of topical steroid cream, excessive exertion such as weight lifting, and Rosacea also can cause telangiectasia.

o Aging and Inflammation- Ultraviolet radiation and other skin aging factors produce inflammation or irritation of the skin, especially the thin skin around the eyes. When eyelid skin is inflamed, new arterioles, venules and capillaries vessels grow into the skin to repair the damage. These new structures stay in the skin and are visible. The presence of these vascular structures darkens the color of the lower eyelid skin and can appear as dark circles under eyes.

How to Remove Dark Circles under Eyes Caused by Broken Blood Vessels

Lasers can remove Telangiectasias, and small vascular structures under the eyes, but newer light based treatments are safer and better. The newer technique called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or photo facial is a much gentler procedure that is very effective and does not leave marks or white areas under the eye, a major problem with older laser techniques.

o IPL- Photo Facial-Intense pulsed light (IPL) is not a laser. IPL uses a bright flash of visible light which is tuned to be absorbed by the specific color of blood. The light passes through the skin without injuring the skin and is preferentially absorbed by the blood in the small Telangiectasias, venules, arterioles and capillaries. The light energy causes the blood to boil and the heat causes the wall of the structure to shrink and close. The process takes about 6 weeks.

Usually 3 IPL treatments scheduled 6 weeks apart are required to lighten the color of the skin causing the dark circle under the eye. Eye shields must be placed on the eye to protect the eye from the light. IPL is the best treatment for Rosacea.

o Laser- Two laser wavelengths are specifically absorbed by blood -the 532nm and 1064nm laser wavelengths. The 1064nm laser is usually too strong to be used on the eyelids. The 532nm laser is the one more commonly used on the lower eyelids. However, because the laser is so strong, the eyelid skin is often damaged and a scar or white area on the eyelid skin can occur.

Since IPL has been developed, the laser is no longer the choice for treating the eyelids. Eye shields must be placed on the eye to protect the eye from the laser.

o Vein Injections- Very large and noticeable veins on the lower eyelid can be closed by injecting a sclerosing solution that is most commonly used on the lower legs to treat spider veins. This is a very tricky procedure and should only be done by an expert experienced in this technique.

o Fractional laser resurfacing to thicken skin- New fractional laser resurfacing techniques are safe to use on the eyelids with eye protective shields in place. These new fractional laser techniques plump or thicken the lower eyelid skin and lighten the color. Thicker lower eyelid skin helps camouflage the vessels and Telangiectasias.

Prevention
Inherited eyelid skin color cannot be prevented. However there are things we can do to prevent new telangiectasia and vascular structures from forming and making the skin color darker. Since Ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes inflammation and new vascular growth, sun protection is the most important.

o Sun block- Always make sure that you apply sun block to the eyelids when you apply sun block to your face.

o Eye protection-Always wear protective sunglasses that cover the crow's feet areas as well as the eyes.

o Anti-inflammatory-Medical grade topical Vitamin C Serum is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication. Its use on the face and eyelids can help reduce inflammation which can cause telangiectasia and new vascular growth on the facial and eyelid skin.

If you are not happy with the color of your lower eyelids, IPL may be the answer you are looking for.

Average Blood Sugar Level

Average blood sugar level amounts are determined by a few factors. This article will list what those factors are and how to determine whether your body is operating with a normal blood glucose level and what you might expect for changes during the day.

Your blood glucose level usually starts out on the lower side in the morning and rises and falls during the day - primary due to your food intake. Food that is consumed that contains carbohydrates are converted to energy by the hormone insulin which is produced by the pancreas. As your body gets low on energy, blood sugar amounts in the bloodstream rise until insulin does its job. Once the the glucose is converted, blood glucose levels decrease to a more stable level. Within a few hours, however as the body needs more energy, the glucose levels are once again on the rise. Glucose levels stay at a higher level until once again another round of food and nutrients are consumed. Such is the cycle of someone with average blood sugar level amounts.

Problems occur, however when the body does not produce enough insulin to convert the glucose. As a result, the glucose stays in the bloodstream and can wreak havoc in the body if the condition of high glucose amounts persist. The average person who is not at risk for diabetes has a blood glucose level between 75 and 150 mg. This can also vary from person to person based on their weight and the amount of physical activity that he or she has in their life.

Origin of HIV, or Where Does HIV Come From?

Where does HIV come from? For some of us who remember the sudden emergence of HIV into the popular culture and awareness of the US in the early 1980's, HIV appears to have come from nowhere.

How to Keep a Normal Blood Pressure

The dangerous thing about most medical conditions that relate to the heart, such as high blood pressure, are that there are often no symptoms that indicate a problem. The only way to know if your heart is healthy is to see a doctor once a year for a checkup.

Getting a blood pressure reading is imperative in diagnosing high blood pressure. If you haven't had your blood pressure taken before the procedure is painless, non-invasive, and easy.

Basically, the nurse on hand will wrap a cuff around your arm, inflate it and then deflate it, while listening to your heartbeat. What they are looking to determine is the force of the blood circulating through the blood vessels.

There are two numbers in a blood pressure reading and these numbers indicate the force of the blood upon entry and exit from your heart. These numbers are termed systolic and diastolic.

When the nurse or your doctor writes the down the reading it will look like a fraction. The systolic number will be on top while the diastolic number will be on the bottom.

What Is A Normal Blood Pressure Reading?

A normal blood pressure reading is below 120/80. There is a condition that is called pre-hypertensive and it has readings that range from 120/80 up to 139/89. Stage one hypertension is will have a blood pressure reading of 140/90 up to 159/99. Stage two hypertension will show a reading over 160/100.

How To Maintain Normal Blood Pressure

There are many ways to maintain normal blood pressure, but most importantly you need to get regular exercise (30 min. - 1hr a day). Regular exercise will help keep you fit and will give your heart the workout that it needs. Exercising regularly also maintains the flow of your circulatory system thus eliminating any artery clogging or build up that can cause heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.

To maintain a normal blood pressure level you also want to eat a diet of organic food (mostly fruit, vegetables and nuts). Minimize the amount of processed food that you eat.

Not only is processed food fattening and addictive it is also made with chemicals (read the ingredients) that are foreign to the human body. These foods leave you at high risk for things like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Stop Smoking And Lower Your Stress

Smoking can also contribute to high blood pressure so stop. Stress is also a big contributor to high blood pressure, and most medical conditions for that matter, so you need to learn how to lower the amount of stress in your life if you want to be healthy.

Take up yoga or tai chi, exercise regularly, learn to meditate, eat right, and you will conquer stress. This is very important as to lower your susceptibility to hypertension; you must learn to handle stress properly. Good luck on your journey towards health and wellness!

Foods Good For High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

It seems that doctors the world over are all too ready to prescribe medication rather than to suggest natural methods of lowering high blood pressure (hypertension). Most of these medicines can have undesirable side-effects, so it is wise to look for natural methods.

It has been shown that a healthy diet containing high levels of potassium, magnesium and calcium can lower and help control high blood pressure. Just as important, a healthy diet should include essential fatty acids, but as little as possible saturated fats, salt and sugar. Below is just a short list of foods good for high blood pressure.

SPINACH Spinach is rich in magnesium and helps prevent heart disease. It also contains folate which protects the body from homocysteine, an excessive amount of which can cause heart attacks and strokes. Cook for as little time as possible. Better still, eat raw in salads.

SUNFLOWER SEEDS Sunflower seeds are rich in potassium, magnesium and phytosterols which can aid in the reduction of your cholesterol level. (High levels of cholesterol can cause narrowing of the arteries and blood vessels which raises blood pressure).

BANANAS Bananas are rich in potassium and have a high fiber content. Try to eat at least two bananas per day.

SOME FATS ARE GOOD! Unsaturated fats can help reduce cholesterol and provide essential fatty acid that the body needs. Fish contain omega-3 which prevents heart disease. Try eating oily fish such as trout, salmon and mackerel. It will be a lot healthier for you if you grill, bake or steam the fish. Do not add salt when cooking. Sardines, too, are a good choice. Fresh fish are best, but if you must buy tinned fish check the label to make sure the salt content is low.

GARLIC Garlic helps thin the blood and stops blood vessels clogging, so reducing blood pressure. Try chewing a clove or two of garlic each day. If you don't want to lose all your friends you may prefer to take it in the form of a supplement.

TOMATOES Tomatoes are rich in calcium and potassium, and contain vitamins A, C and E. Tomatoes also contain lycopene which is a powerful antioxidant that is reputed to lower the risk of heart disease. The antioxidants found in tomatoes can prevent LDL cholesterol from oxidizing and sticking to the blood vessel walls, which would raise blood pressure. Drinking tomato juice is a great way to enjoy tomatoes. If you own a juicer, make your own. If you have to buy tomato juice make sure it's a pure juice with no added salt or sugar.

BROCCOLI Broccoli is full of nutrition. Not only is it high in potassium but it contains chromium that helps regulate blood sugar and insulin. Don't over cook it. Place it in a pan with just enough water to cover it, that way it will retain more nutrients. Better still, steam it. When I'm preparing broccoli I always cut off a few florets and eat them raw. Try it, they're delicious!

HAWTHORN Hawthorn dilates the arteries and improves the flow of blood, so lowering blood pressure. Use a mixture of leaves and flowers to make a tea. Place two teaspoonfuls in a cup and add boiling water. Leave to infuse for around twenty minutes before straining. Drink two or three cups of the elixir per day.

How to Use Grapefruit to Lower High Blood Pressure

Heart disease is the number one killer of women. If you are a women, and even if your not, here is what you need to start doing.

The food you eat is critical in determining if you will have high blood pressure and if you can lower it. Eating less meat and eating more fruits and vegetables can lower your blood pressure.

High blood pressure occurs when fats, cholesterol, and nutrients in the food you eat start to accumulate along your artery walls. This narrowing of your arteries restricts the flow of your blood, increases your blood pressure and making you more susceptible to heart attacks and strokes.

If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high trigylcerides, grapefruit has been found to reduce the effects of these conditions.

So which is better yellow or red grapefruit? Well, in a study made where people who had a history of high cholesterol, those that ate the red grapefruit had the most effect in lower their blood pressure. The yellow also lowered blood pressure but not as much as the red grapefruit.

It was found in this study that grapefruit had a better effect in lowering blood pressure than statin drugs.

Red grapefruit are extra high in anti-oxidants and these nutrients are able to reduce your trigylcerides: the yellow are not.

Eat the red grapefruit when available and when it is not eat the yellow. Eat at least one - two per day. If you eat ½ just before your meal or drink a glass of fresh grapefruit, you can expect to lose 1 or 2 lbs during the month. By eating 2 grapefruits a day expect to lose more weight.

Eating grapefruit has many health benefits, but one other is in controlling your insulin level. Studies have shown that those that eat grapefruits have lower insulin and glucose levels in their blood.

It is believed by researchers that grapefruit enzymes help to control insulin increases that happen after you eat. These enzymes help digest your food better and this results in less nutrients being stored as fat.

Grapefruit has also been found to be caner preventative. It's the phytonutrients - antioxidants - and especially lycopene that has been found helpful in preventing cancer.

Grapefruits are high in fiber, vitamin C, Vitamin A, and antioxidants - carotenoids, limonoid glucosides, flavonones.

You can buy red and yellow grapefruits from November to May here in the US. If you don't have any in your area go online and order some.

CAUTION: If you are on any drugs, do not eat grapefruits in combination with taking drugs. Grapefruit enhances the effect of drugs and can cause symptoms of overdose.

Artificial Blood

Better known as blood surrogates/substitutes, artificial blood serves two main purposes like filling the fluid volume and carry oxygen and other gases in blood through the entire cardiovascular system. It should be noted that nothing could replace the human blood since it performs innumerable other functions apart from these. So the accurate term for the product performing first function could be volume expanders and the gas carriers could be named Oxygen therapeutics.

In simple words, Volume expanders are certain passive materials which raise the blood quantity. They are of two types, mainly colloid based like Voluven, Haemaccel, gelofusin etc. and crystalloid based where Ringer's lactate, normal saline are examples. The case of Oxygen Therapeutics, they function as a substitute for the oxygen carrying ability of the body fluid. Common examples are Hemopure, Oxygent, PolyHeme and Perftoran. Depending on the mode of the transport mechanism, Oxygen therapeutics fall into two main streams called per fluorocarbon based and hemoglobin based.

Volume expanders are common and easily obtained in markets and they are mainly used for first aid and in case of trauma. Consider the case of trauma and when there is a loss of blood, there arises a necessity to prevent blood loss. Another requirement is the substitution of lost amount of body fluid. And the remaining RBC's can provide oxygen for the tissues.

Oxygen Therapeutics is employed to imitate the oxygen carrying ability of normal blood. But the modern science find it difficult to develop a completely efficient therapeutic and hence two fundamental approaches has been installed to assemble an oxygen therapeutic. Now, per fluorocarbons (PFCs) a chemical compound that transports and gives out oxygen is made use of. The frequently used PFC is per fluorodecalin. Their main property is that it will not get assorted with blood and hence there arises a need to produce emulsions that are made by dispersing minute droplets of PFC in water. This emulsion is then mixed with antibiotics, vitamins, nutrients and also salts, thus making an emulsion that consists of some 80 different types of constituents and that will perform a lot of the important purposes of body fluid. They are just 1/40 the size of the diameter of the Red Blood Cells and this minute structure will help them to seep into the very minute and dead capillaries where normal blood flow is almost absent. The per fluorocarbon solutions can transport oxygen; hence the mammals and human beings could survive by just breathing the liquid per fluorocarbon solution, termed the liquid breathing.

It is to be noted that 33% of the entire Red blood cell mass is consisted by the Hemoglobin. The Hemoglobin-associated materials are termed HBOCs (Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers). As red blood cell contains certain other substances other than the hemoglobin it is quite difficult to extract hemoglobin alone from blood. If used, it will end up in a condition called renal toxicity which could be considered fatal. By making use of the following processes like self linking, polymerization and encapsulation hemoglobin could be extracted and could be used in a safer way too. Fluosol-DA-20, the only approved HBOC by Food and drug Administration, is now banned with its least success and the increase in the number of side effects.

The artificial blood seems advantageous in different walks of life. As discussed earlier, the small size of oxygen therapeutics will seem superior to normal body fluid and hence it could lessen the number of transfusions which is being increasing day by day.

If such a system is employed nobody needs to become much fearful about the hazards during a blood transfusion like the spreading of AIDS and anthrax viruses.

In case of trauma or in certain battlefields the blood surrogates or the blood substitutes find wide varieties of applications. In future, let's hope that no patient dies due to unavailability of blood.

The main advantage of blood substitutes is that it could be stored for much longer time as compared to the transfused blood. It is capable of using at anytime with a tension free mind.

The major merit of artificial blood is that it supports instantaneous full capability for the transport of oxygen, a contradiction to blood which is transfused that need some 24 hours to arrive at complete oxygen transport ability because of the depletion of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate.
