I SEEM TO GET LIGHT HEADED.WHEN I LOOK UP OR DOWN .SO SOME PEOPLE SAY BLOOD PRESSURE I AM UNDER A LOT OF STRESS.BUT THEN AGAIN I HAVE SINUS PROBLEMS.
I ALSO BEEN SMOKING A LOT
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I STAND UP.
Being light headed will most likely be from from low blood pressure. If when you’re sitting, you stand up only to get light headed, that’s low blood pressure. Symptoms of high blood pressure: head and neck aches, irratability, reddness in the hands, feet and face. Your local drug store usually has a blood pressure machine that is free to use. Go see your doc, you don’t want to have a stroke or a heart attack, especially with a new grand baby.

Take Care and God Bless !
it’s not the job that may create HBP, it’s how you cope with stress. The higher you go in an organization the more difficult the decisions you have to make. The majority of which involve employees and their jobs. Very difficult decisions. The kind that eat at you because often it isn’t a black and white issue.
I think I’ve heard garlic and a few other things can help lower blood pressure. Anybody know the other ones?
Omega 3 fish oil. You can buy it in the health food store! An acquaintance who owns a health food store told me that is the #1 recommended natural herbal remedy for high blood pressure. Just be sure to lower your salt and fat intake as well, otherwise nothing will work.
Good luck.
The chest pain is not sharp, and it comes at random times. Even if I run up stairs and try to exert myself, the pain will not necesarily occur.
The pain appears to be on the left portion of my chest on a small area along my rib cage. Sometimes, I can swear the pain happens very quickly in the area where my heart is…
Is it possible this chest pain could be related to my heart even though I have great blood pressure and resting pulse? I did have heart palpitations for a couple of weeks because of a reaction to a decongestant. I can still feel my heart beating sometimes, but not nearly as bad as it used to be. I am wondering if the palpitations have anything to do with it.
‘You need to see a Dr. It doesn’t matter if your B.P. is OK. You could still have a heart problem. The Dr. could order some tests to see if your heart is OK. A pulled muscle would give you pain all the time. Random pain is more associated with the heart.
My wife’s father just had something happen to him. However there’s a language barrier and she’s having a hard time translating what happened to English. Essentially her father woke up this morning unable to move or feel anything below the head. He had not suffered any trauma and went to be like normal. A doctor has seen him, and apparently his blood pressure was off the charts. He was sent home, and he has regained some feeling/movement in his limbs. I’m saying he should go to the hospital, but she keeps saying the doctor said to wait for Monday. I’m really scratching my head as to what might have happened.
Sounds to me like he possibly had a stroke of some kind. Does this person have a history of heart problems or high blood pressure? There are different kinds of strokes, but most are associated with high blood pressure. If a person has a stroke it can cause problems with movement on one side of the body, it can affect the arms, legs, and ability to speak. You may also notice facial drooping on one side, but depending on how serious the stroke was depends on if damage is permanent or not (there are small strokes called T.I.A a.k.a as mini strokes, and big strokes called CVA that can cause more damage). However this is just a theory of mine of what could have happened, considering there could be other precipitating factors involved that I may not be aware of, but if anything I hope your wife’s father gets well.
It is simple to understand. If your blood pressure is below the normal level, taking into consideration your age and activity levels, you have low blood pressure. Prolonged illness, taking drugs that have reputation for lowering the blood pressure like alpha blockers could be the other reasons for your low blood pressure condition.
In low blood pressure you feel dizzy, you are unable to stand up, and may even faint sometime. Hence you need to consult your physician immediately when you have a low BP.
The causes for low blood pressure are too many. With the advancing age, blood pressure problems surface. The arteries stiffen and become less supple and the even blood flow is hampered. When you stand up, your blood pressure may fall. You can still carry on with the normal life with low blood pressure and there is not much to worry. But if the BP is too low, it is a dangerous situation. It could be an invitation to death!
The following are the possible symptoms of abnormal low blood pressure: Fainting, transient blurring of vision, over exertion, extreme confusion. But with the normalization of the blood pressure, these symptoms will subside gradually.
Now medications prescribed for high blood pressure, heart diseases, anxiety, depression and some of the diuretics or “water-tablets” and painkillers could also cause low blood pressure. Pain killers with the combination of alcohol could also pave a way for low blood pressure. More serious causes of low blood pressure are heart disease and heart valve disease, changes in heart rhythm, kidney diseases, bacterial infection in the system and bleeding.
In general terms, poor diet, and unimaginative lifestyles are the prime causes of this medical condition of low blood pressure. The type of food that you take must assist the perfect metabolism in your body. If the metabolism is perfect, the blood flow also will be perfect, to all part of your body. Once you have the problems like blood pressure, recurring medication could well be a cause of some other ailments. So, your health care strategy needs a total revamp!

Pains in the legs could be due to joint pains or due to muscle cramps. Joint pains are generally observed in arthritis, a condition which sets in as the person’s advances in age. In arthritis, the articulation of the bones gradually wears out over time, leading to pains whenever they function. This is called as Aama Vata in Ayurvedic language.
Muscle cramps usually affect the muscles of the leg. It is known as Khalli Vata in Ayurveda. There is a special term for the muscle cramps that affect only the calf muscles, and that is Pindikoveshtana. From an Ayurvedic point of view, almost all pains are caused due to vitiation of the vata dosha. Specifically in leg pains due to muscle cramps, the Vyana vata is vitiated. This is a sub-dosha of the vata which controls the involuntary muscles of the body.
Pains occur when there is an ama buildup in the body. Ama is the name given to the toxic materials caused due to improper digestion that cannot be expelled from the body. Such ama causes several problems, including leg pains. Ama is built up due to high agni, i.e. digestive fire, which is governed by the pitta dosha. Hence there is also a pitta relation with the leg pains.
(1) Useful Herbs in the Treatment of Leg Pains
1. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)
Clove oil is applied on the affected leg muscle as a poultice. It provides immediate relief from pains, especially if they are due to muscle cramps.
2. Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Ginger has wonderful painkilling properties. It must be included in the daily diet if muscular pains in the legs are a chronic problem.
3. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
Licorice is very effective in relieving muscle aches. An infusion of its roots must be prepared in water and kept overnight. This helps in almost all kinds of muscle problems.
4. Madhuca (Madhuca indica)
Madhuca has positive effects on leg pains, especially if they are due to rheumatism. Its oil is applied locally over the affected regions.
5. Pepper (Piper nigrum)
Pepper helps in dilating the superficial blood vessels, thus helping in proper blood circulation. It also has analgesic properties and can be used as a liniment in muscular problems.
(2) Dietary Treatments for Leg Pains
Since improper digestion can cause leg pains, care must be taken not to eat anything that can cause digestive problems. Do not consume constipating foods; keep your diet simple. Consume plenty of green vegetables and leafy vegetables that contain fiber. Vitamin C obtained from amalaki, oranges and tomatoes is also good for digestion. After each meal, make it a habit to eat a plantain instead of some calorie-rich dessert like ice-cream. A plantain is a food that is extremely rich in minerals of potassium, magnesium and calcium. Hence it is extremely beneficial for proper metabolism within the leg region. Avoid coffee and chocolate if you have persistent leg pain problems.
The importance of adequate amount of fluids cannot be stressed enough. Dehydration is a leading cause of leg pains. Keep drinking one glass of water every waking hour to prevent dehydratiom.
(3) Ayurvedic Treatments for Leg Pains
There are good oils in Ayurveda that are used for external application over the affected legs. If the muscle pains have occurred suddenly, then most likely they are cramps. In such cases, Mahanarayana tailam or Praharini tailam are applied to get relief. Warming the oils a bit and then applying has better effects.
For internal administration, Sinhanaada Guggulu is prescribed. This drug is also a mild laxative. So it will also correct whatever digestive problems may be there with the system. Other commonly prescribed medicines are Laxmivilasa rasa and Pratapa Lankeshwara rasa.
(4) Home Remedies for Leg Pains
1 If you have regular complains of pains in the legs, then there are some simple exercises you can do in order to get relief from them. Some of them are described:-
a) Lie on your back on a firm bed. Wear some loose clothing over the legs, such as shorts or pajamas. Raise your legs gradually in the air, as far as they can go. The heels should point skywards. Hold the legs in this stretched position for about ten seconds and then bring them down again. Do this five times per session, and repeat the exercise thrice a day.
b) Alternatively you can stand facing a wall at an arm’s length distance from it. Stretch out your arms and touch the wall with your open palms. Then slowly pull yourself forward (towards the wall). Feel the stretching pressure building up in your legs. Hold yourself in this stretched position for about ten seconds and then let go. Do this five times per session, and repeat the exercise thrice a day.
c) Even Yoga has several leg stretching exercises that can be used with great positive effects. These exercises are Uttanpadasana, Janusandhi and Gomukhasana.
2 If the cramps occur when performing an exercise workout or some physical activity, then have a glass of lemon water with a pinch of salt in it.
3 If you have leg pains in the joints due to arthritis, then crush two to three cloves of garlic and add them to a glass of diluted milk. Boil it to quarter its amount and drink it just before bedtime.
4 Applying a hot pack or fomenting the leg with steam helps to improve circulation in the leg and eases the pain. Even applying cold packs helps. This will reduce the blood flow into the leg region and help the muscle to relax.
5 Put one part of camphor in twenty parts of mustard oil. Keep this in the sun till the time the camphor properly dissolves in the oil. Use this oil to massage the leg on a daily basis.
6 If you get a sudden sprain in the leg, then prepare a paste of turmeric with lime and salt and apply it on the affected part.

Low blood pressure is no less threatening than high blood pressure. In fact this problem of low blood pressure which is also known as Hypotension often leads to dangerous consequences. In case of hypotension your blood moves in arteries or entire circulatory system with less than required pressure. Due to this, blood movement becomes slow. Because of this slowed rate of blood circulation all vital parts of body get less than the sufficient volume of blood to carry out the normal functioning. That is, functions of all of your vital organs get retarded due to hypotension.
Although there exists some explicit reasons of hypotension; still, it becomes difficult to ascertain exact causes for it in most of the cases.
1.Drugs and Medication
Hypotension often develops due to consumption of drugs used for various purposes. For example use of anti depressants can immediately result in low level of blood pressure. Medications used in cardiovascular complications could also facilitate hypotension. If you are using Diuretics continuously, major side-effects will definitely include low blood pressure. All high blood pressure medications if used over a period of time would give way to low BP.
2.Alcohol Consumption
Excessive alcohol consumption may also affect blood flow by lowering level of blood pressure. Some analgesics have been also found reducing blood pressure.
3.Over all health and diseases
An impending stroke could also be a cause of hypotension. That’s why people with cardiac complications are said to be extremely careful of hypotension. A chronic diabetic may also suffer from blood pressure disorder. Thus low BP could be termed as by product of different maladies. However cardiac diseases remain major contributor to low BP.
Anatomical inflammations may also cause hypo tension. For example- pancreatic swelling, cardiac inflammation and enlarged liver.
A nervous system disorder known as Vasovagal reaction that is identified by fear or trauma contributes to low blood pressure.
4.Dehydration
Dehydration undoubtedly happens to be the most common cause of low blood pressure. Dehydration may be due to less water consumption, vomiting, excess sweating and diarrhea. There could other reasons of dehydration too.
5.Diet
Low blood pressure could be also due to undernourishment or poor dietary habits. Less than required calorie intake tends to slow pace of blood circulation thus retards function of vital organs.
Despite the number of varied reasons of this ailment, the lower bp is identified with some common symptoms or indicators. These are regular headaches, irregular breathing, dizziness and excess vomiting.
Whatsoever may be the cause, you low BP could be cured well. Be positive while undergoing treatment for low BP as it would help you in your quest to overcome hypotension.

Elevated blood pressure can affect a person’s life in a number of ways; high blood pressure puts a strain on the heart and left untreated can have devastating effects, kidney failure, cardiac arrest, and stroke among them. While a cure for high blood pressure is on the horizon, there is nothing yet that can completely eradicate high blood pressure.
Rather an individual cure for high blood pressure can be found in the way each person who suffers from high blood pressure can effectively manage the condition. For some, diet and exercise play a large role in affecting blood pressure. With the help of a doctor, a person with high blood pressure should attempt to eliminate high salt, high fat foods. Instead the focus should be on natural, whole foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Water intake should be increased to meet the recommended eight glasses of water a day. Additionally, daily physical exercise should be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle.
In addition to these changes, smokers should immediately quit the habit, as smoking has been linked to a multitude of diseases including high blood pressure. Increased alcohol and caffeine consumption have also been linked to high blood pressure. Since there is no specific cure for high blood pressure, sufferers must make every change available to them in order to manage their condition.
These changes will, at the least, increase overall health and vitality and, at best, will significantly lower blood pressure. In this way diet and exercise can be tantamount to a cure for high blood pressure in some patients.
When diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes aren’t enough then in many cases you are dealing with a genetic predisposition for high blood pressure. This is the group of patients on whom a cure for high blood pressure will have the most impact. But in order to control blood pressure for those who have failed to manage it with other changes, medication has been shown to be very effective. And while daily medication is not defined necessarily as a cure for high blood pressure, it is a way in which sufferers can protect themselves.
With the assistance of your doctor and a plan in place to manage your condition, you can live a healthy and safe life until a cure for high blood pressure can be found.
