I’m going camping but i have hypertension, so what foods should i bring?

25 May

I’m going camping but i have hypertension, what are some foods that will last for awhile and not have much sodium? i usually eat salads and small portions of meats. but i noticed that if i leave the salad bag opened by a little bit it becomes brown fairly quickly.

i thought about buying foods that are sun dried that are in bags but those usually have tons of sodium or preservatives that are unhealthy. i don’t know how to make sun dried fruits and nor do i have the time to make them. i’m just looking for foods that don’t have lots of sodium (salt) that can last for days.

What i’m leading to say is how is it possible to eat healthy foods that will last for days in a storage container?
I would like to mention, foods that are canned have high preservatives and still have lots of sodium compared to natural foods that last longer. like someone mentioned peanuts that are unsalted last longer and don’t require crucial packaging. i can understand that canned foods have come a long ways of become “healthier” but i still refuse to eat canned foods. thanks for the replies so far.

 

What’s so bad about high blood pressure?

25 May

It seems like it would increase the risk of hemorrhagic strokes, but this is a relatively minor cause of death in the scope of cardiovascular disease. Is it that hypertension is more a symptom of other, more pernicious risks like increased strain on the heart and/or coronary artery blockage?

Most appreciation goes to answers that cite explanatory articles. Thanks!

 

Headaches a sign of high blood pressure?

25 May

I’m 20 yrs. old, six foot 3 and weigh about 155 lbs. But for the past few months I’ve been getting these bad headaches. When I’m working, and it gets really hot, or I have to do a lot of bending over, my head will start to hurt very badly, and once I get one of those headaches, I’m pretty much doomed with it for the rest of the day, even if I take it easy once I’m done working.
I also get these headaches when I get really angry about something or if I pick up something heavy for too long. Working out in the gym or running does NOT help relieve the pain. Also, taking an 2 asprin pills or 2 ibuprofen pills DOES NO GOOD WHAT SO EVER. Even when I took a goody powder, it lessened the headache only, but didn’t stop it.

It’s only been a few months or so since I’ve started getting these headaches. Might I have high blood pressure despite my age and weight? (Most of my life when I’d get my BP checked it’d be about 110 over 70. 7 months ago it was 120 over 80 so it’s gone up a little

My husband has high blood pressure, how can he lower it naturally?

24 May

We went to give blood today and my hubby couldn’t because his blood pressure was 144/102.

His grandfather died at 48 years old due to hypertension so this is a realy concerning.

We don’t have health insurance because he works as a contractor so we can’t afford any medication. What can he do to lower it naturally?

Thank you!

How high can blood pressure get before a heart attack?

24 May

I spoke with my mom today. She’s in her late 60s and has had high blood pressure for years. She still works regularly but is staying home this week to see if her blood pressure can be moderated after spiking to 236/145. (I’m not 100% sure about the second number–it may be a little off, but I am absolutely positive about the 236.)

She was given a new medication, as well as some anxiety medicine. She’s always had high blood pressure, but the 236 even scared her.

So, how close is someone to a heart attack (or some other major body malfunction) when blood pressure goes that high? I remember my mom’s mom had high blood pressure and died from a massive heart attack at age 70 about twenty years ago.

Can drinking water help lower your blood pressure?How about gout symptoms?

24 May

If it can why doesn’t the Doctor emphasize it?I’m not a water drinker, but I’m only reminded to drink water when I’m giving blood for a test, sometimes and to help with weight loss. I’m wondering if it would lessen ‘gout’ symptoms in my big toe joint also.

I’ve been looking for an answer to what could have caused the death of my beloved 19 year old cat.?

24 May

She was diagnosed with hypertension a little over a year ago, and we were treating her with meds for the condition. Today she began bleeding from her mouth…we took her to the vet, but she had to be put to sleep. The answer I got from the vet just didn’t really satisfy me. What could have caused this. She had appeared healthy before- no loss of appetite, etc. Has anyone out there ever lost a pet who displayed these symptoms? I need to find some closure for this painful loss.

24 May

Recently I was told I have high blood pressure and a enlarged heart,stress test and 24 hr monitor and a ultrasound of my heart confirmed heart enlarged but I was healthy and no issues or cause was found.I have anxiety which when I’m stressed out my face turns red and blood pressure goes up really high. My doctor said don’t worry about heart and try relax more and he put me on adalat 30mg for blood pressure and xanex 1mg 3 x a day. But I am still in the dark about information regarding blood pressure what’s a good and bad reading that should make me seek emergency help? Also what is SYS/mmHg 1st number mean and second DIA/mmHg mean?Pulse is heart rate right? does anyone have answers to my questions? I was told 120/70 is normal so my reading right now is SYS=112/DIA=81/pulse=113 Is that good or bad?And what does it mean if your pulse is continually 100 or above never under even at rest?what are numbers i would have that should make me seek help asap?
