Symptoms And Treatment Of A Disease

People who have high blood pressure are putting more strain on the arteries, and this could be dangerous because it could lead to things such as heart attacks and strokes. Blood pressure can be measured by a sphygmomanometer.

High blood pressure has many damaging effects on the heart. High blood pressure is known as a silent killer and if left untreated can cause serious damage to the heart. What causes high blood can differ from person to person. What causes this for some may be different with another. Genetics, diet, family history, weight, and use of salt are just some of the causes of high blood pressure. Some of the ways that high blood pressure damages the heart is through narrowing of the arteries in the heart, called arteriosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, and restricted blood flow that can lead to strokes and heart attacks. High blood pressure can have damaging effects on the heart if left untreated, and can cause arteriosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, and restricted blood flow that leads to strokes and heart attacks.

Hypertension (HTN) is a chronic cardiovascular condition that is characterized by high blood pressure. The blood pressure commonly abbreviated as BP is a measure of the force exerted on the blood vessels as the blood passes through them. The amount of blood pumped and the narrowness of ones’ vessels are directly proportional to the blood pressure (Mayoclinic staff, 2014).

The heart pumps blood into the arteries and the force of the blood pushing against blood vessel walls is called blood pressure. Arteries carry the blood throughout the body. High blood pressure is also know as hypertension and is very dangerous in many different ways. One way is that it makes the heart have to work harder in order to pump the blood to the body. Secondly it contributes to hardening of the arteries and lastly, it also contributes to heart failure. A healthy heart is essential to life and having high blood pressure it not healthy for the heart. It has been proven that there are many different causes that have been linked to high blood pressure.

This essay will focus on a patients journey and the impact of a long term condition in their lives. Firstly, an outline of the selected patients journey will be delivered and the pathophysiology and related nursing care of the patient and their long term condition will be explained. Secondly, the wider role of the nurse and the self management of the patient with the long term condition will be explored. Finally, the knowledge gained from this assessment and how it will influence future practice will be reflected upon.

Etiology – Hypertensive heart disease is associated with high blood pressure related to the heart's arteries and muscles. Blood is transported to the heart by coronary arteries. High blood pressure causes blood vessels to become narrow which can cause the blood flow to the heart to slow and even stop. Sometimes blood clots form and get stuck in the narrowed arteries and put the person at serious risk of a heart attack.

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the inner walls of the veins/vessels. In many cases, when blood pressure is too high a multitude of chronic diseases can occur such as heart disease, atherosclerosis, and negatively impact every blood vessel that travels around your body. According to your blood pressure results (High Blood Pressure stage 1 Hypertension), you are in the unhealthy range putting you at risk for these diseases and others like them. This can be a result of sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, drinking and etc… Blood pressure is typically inconsistent, for example is can vary by just walking around or by being nervous but your results indicate that it may be high regardless. However, it is

The patient is a 19-year-old male named Matt. He was being treated for lethargy, excessive thirst, recent unexpected weight loss, fever, and complaints of frequent urination. Matt is a college cross-country runner who is otherwise is healthy. He is currently uninsured and his diet consists of fast food meals and prepackaged meals. Also, he consumes 3-4 beers about 3-4 days a week. Matt is allergic to Penicillin as well as Sulfa Drugs. After the assessment Matt has a temperature of 101.6 F and has a pain level of 4/10 while urinating in which he experiences a burning pain. His skin is warm and dry and has a 1 inch by 5/8th inch skin break on the posterior right ankle that has not healed in 3 weeks. Additionally, Matt was treated once in

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a prevalent disease in the United States affecting roughly 30% of the adults across the nation (CDC). Hypertension is a condition that is measured by the pressure of blood flowing into and out of the heart. This condition causes damage to the arterial walls of the heart, which can result in detrimental health events such as: heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and even kidney disease (CDC). There are typically no symptoms when hypertension is first developed; however, if blood pressure has been very elevated for an extended period of time then the following superficial symptoms can occur: severe headache, fatigue/confusion, vision problems, chest pain,

Paronychia is an infection of the nail that occurs when bacteria enter the tissue surrounding the nail following trauma to the surrounding skin or cuticle. (Rigopoulos et al, 2008)

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a genetic condition so rare that only seven out of one million people are diagnosed with it each year. In hospitals if there have been patients who have different physical appearances than normal or any other symptoms (Enrichment 1), a doctor can diagnose them with different types by their physique differences or how their body looks and reacts. Sometimes if patients happen to have no symptoms of divergence at all, doctors and their colleagues can diagnose the with much research and blood work. The condition was first discovered in the early 1940’s when endocrinologist Fuller Albright and his colleagues figured out after much researching and experimenting that a group of patients who were experiencing skeletal

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

The cause of high blood pressure is unclear but some researchers think that it is because the

High blood pressure is one of the many conditions related to heart disease and is commonly referred to as the silent killer, because there are no symptoms. This is why doctors and nurses advise patients to make appointments regularly to

I chose this article because I am very interested in the field and study of the brain also known as neurology. I wanted to study a predominant disease that ails society which is malaria. I know that malaria affects thousands in many unfortunate countries and has afflicted many children and adults. Malaria is a disease carried by vectors, usually mosquitos, that are mostly predominate in Africa and has many different symptoms ranging from the mild (coughing or chills) to serious (cerebral malaria or acute respiratory distress syndrome). This far range of symptoms can affect anyone, but the most at risk are very young children or pregnant women and could be fatal if not treated in time. I know that malarial infection is treatable with the
