Reaction Paper On Hypertension

Your body requires energy in order to be able to perform tasks. Energy comes in many different forms. They are chemical, light, sound, heat and mechanical. You can get energy from different food substances i.e. glucose, fatty acids, sugars and amino acids. To be able to get the energy from these food substances energy needs to be released with oxygen. This is known as aerobic respiration. The role that energy plays in our body is the process of moving molecules in and out of our cells while breaking down the larger molecules and building new molecules. The cardiovascular system transports oxygenated blood around the body and to the cells. It will then collect the deoxygenated blood which is ready for the excretion from the cells. The cardiovascular system will deliver the nutrients oxygen and glucose via the blood stream. Oxygen is need for aerobic respiration to occur. The cardiovascular system will pump oxygen and nutrients carrying blood throughout the body. The glucose molecules that are carried by the blood are transported into the cells. Along with the oxygen that is diffused into the cells they are used in respiration to produce ATP. The respiratory system is responsible for bringing in oxygen as well as using it to burn the nutrients that we need for energy. The respiratory system contains alveoli which allow the diffusion of oxygen into the blood stream

What supports the diagnosis of chronic renal failure instead of acute renal failure? Give reasons from George’s history; his signs/symptoms.

Due to occurrence of the above, the blood vessel in the brain become more fragile and paves the way for haemorrhage. Damage to small blood vessels within the cerebral hemispheres produce microscopic infarctions (localised necrotic areas) appearing as small areas of brain destruction that fill with fluid, otherwise known as hypertensive lacunae.

down into energy for your body. You get oxygen from breathing and it goes into your blood

According to the B.P value, what stage of hypertension is M.K. experiencing? Explain the rationale for her current medications for her hypertension. Also, discuss the impact of this disease on the U.S population.

In the introduction of the journal article “Hyperactive Ingredients?,” Julia Barrett addresses the question of whether food additives influence hyperactivity. She explains that this question has been a constant debate over the past three decades. Barretts objective of her journal article was to highlight how research studies, such as the Lancet study, currently suggest that there is in fact a link between the two. In the Lancet study, Jim Stevenson, along with other researchers, further investigated a study conducted in June 2004. In this study, Archives of Disease in Childhood, children who were placed on a diet that was free of artificial dyes and benzoate preservatives. When these children were given a drink that contained a mixture of artificial

Hypertension is sometimes call, “The Silent Killer” (www.medicinenet.com 2013). Hypertension usually does not have any symptoms and puts a lot of stress on other major organs which over time will start to deteriorate. Some side- affects that can impact quality of life are sexual dysfunction, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, and neurological problems.

The purpose of this experiment was to see how different genres of music affect blood pressure (BP). The hypothesis was that songs with higher beats per minute (BPM) would cause an increase in BP. The items that were used in this experiment were an automatic BP monitor, a mp3 player, five different types of music, and a set of headphones. The subject would stand for a minute, have the resting BP measured, then listen to the selected song for two minutes, and again have the BP measured. From all of the genres Meditation the music that lowered BP the most, while Rock raised it significantly.

America is in one of its most violent wars, and up to this point it is losing miserably. Our obsession with salt is killing us and the numbers will continue to rise unless we get a grip on sodium intake and deduce our levels substantially. We are not without hope there are various things we can do to lower High Blood Pressure (HBP). We will look at some of the recommendations that will help us to live healthier and productive lives well into our twilight years. It will take some radical lifestyle changes, but the sooner we start the better our quality of life will be.

Essential hypertension also referred to as primary hypertension is a disease that doesn't show any symptoms. When symptoms do show that is shows some long term effects that it has had on other organs. Essential hypertension is an idiopathic disease, meaning there isn't no identifiable cause, however it tends to be the consequence of an interaction between environment and genetic factors. That could be why it is called the silent killer, the only way to be diagnosed is by having your blood pressure checked three times at separate physician appointments. Hypertension can lead to many diseases such as, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease,

Hypertension is a common condition where the long term force of blood against your artery walls is high enough it may cause health problems, like heart disease (Mayoclinic, 2015). It is also known as high blood pressure. Your blood pressure is the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps it will narrower your arteries making your blood pressure higher (Mayoclinic, 2015). High blood pressure generally develops over many years. It will nearly effect everyone eventually (Mayoclinic, 2015). You can work with your doctor to control it once you know you have hypertension. You can have high blood pressure for years and not have any symptoms. Without symptoms damage

Hypertension is defined in many different ways but in general is accepted to be an elevation of systolic blood pressure (when the heart contracts) above 140 mmHg and elevation of diastolic blood pressure (when the heart rests between beats) above 90 mmHg 4. It is important to note however that our blood pressures change very significantly from one moment to the next. For example, when a person is lying flat in bed, their blood pressure can be 110/60 mmHg with heart rate of 58. But then when a person jumps up and runs around the house their blood pressure goes up to about 140/70 mmHg with a heart rate of 110. Similarly other stresses like cold or pain or anxiety or mental stress can also raise blood pressure and heart rate transiently 14. Conversely,

The hypotension is a condition in which the blood pressure is much lower than the values considered being normal. Blood pressure varies from person to person. In general it is considered hypotension a condition in which the maximum pressure (or systolic) is equal to or lower than 90 mmHg and the minimum (or diastolic) is equal to or less than 60 mmHg. The hypotension causes are multiple and different significance: therefore vary from a trivial dehydration to more serious disorders. Low pressure is a disorder that can affect any person regardless of age.

High – normal blood pressure (BP) or Pre - hypertension has been found to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, including progression to hypertension. 1 It is associated with more than two-fold increase in the relative risk of developing CVdisease (CVD) in ten years compared with optimal BP. 1 High-normal BP is associated more frequently than normal BP with other CVD risk factors and target organ damage (TOD) such as dyslipidaemia, dysglycaemia, overweight/obesity, micro-albuminuria and increased left ventricular mass(LVM).2
