What can result from excercising with high blood pressure?

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 18:11:29 +0000

A year ago i was working out for 1 1/2 hours and running 3 miles a day at a maximum pace. I suffered a back injury, and havent worked out for about 10 months really. I gained about 30lbs, and my blood pressure has gone up a lot. I want to work out as hard as I can because I dont like easy workouts, but is it safe with high blood pressure? Can I hurt myself?

What is normal for a drop in blood pressure from lying down to standing?

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:12:49 +0000

So my doctor said that after I stood up, my blood pressure dropped 28 points. How much does most people’s blood pressure drop after they stand up?
The doctor seemed to think it was abnormal, but he was a neurologist not a cardiologist. I am going to see a cardiologist next. I just wonder what is the normal range for a blood pressure drop. Does anyone know?

What happens to blood pressure and heart rate when you go from sitting to standing?

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:12:56 +0000

Hypothetically what would happen to your heart rate when you are in a prone position and then suddenly go into a standing position? Should HR decrease or increase?

Hypothetically what would happen to your (arterial) blood pressure when you go from a prone (sitting) position and then stand up? Should BP increase or decrease?

What are the physiological reasons for these things?

Thanks in advance.

From High Blood Pressure to Heart Attack, and Kidney Problems

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:17:03 +0000

Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. The pumping action of the heart must create enough force to push blood through the major arteries, into the smaller arteries, and finally into the tiny capillaries, where the porous walls permit fluid exchange between the blood and body tissue. The actual mechanisms which explain why the blood pressure is high has to do mainly with the constriction of the small arterioles which are in all of the tissues of the body. The body is usually successful at providing enough blood around the obstruction, but the pressure is low, including the pressure to the kidneys. In this way, that kidney may produce enough blood pressure to satisfy itself, while the rest of the body sees very high pressures as a result.

With high blood pressure, the heart works harder, your arteries take a beating, and your chances of a stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems are greater. It can enlarge the heart, create small bulges (aneurysms) in blood vessels, damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, harden arteries, produce bleeding in the eyes. In this situation, the kidney which is blocked doesn’t “see” enough blood pressure, and releases chemicals causing the blood pressure to go up. If high blood pressure is left unchecked, it can cause blood vessels in the kidneys to become thickened and narrowed, possibly leading to reduced blood supply and reduced kidney function. It is a major cause of kidney failure (renal failure) which may require dialysis Heart Failure is a frequent occurrence in long standing hypertension. Treating and controlling your hypertension can help prevent damage to your heart, brain, kidneys, blood vessels, and eyes.

Experts recommend investigation of patients who seem to be at above average risk on such epidemiological grounds as age and sex or on the presence of symptoms or signs of specific disorders. Many patients eventually require two or more drugs to effectively control their blood pressure. However, in some patients– especially those who have made lifestyle modifications such as losing weight– may be able to modify their antihypertensive medication regimen after hypertension has been controlled for at least one year. In patients with high blood pressure, side effects and costs of medications are also factors which weigh heavily on which agent if any is prescribed. For any number of reasons, patients may not take their drugs as prescribed or may not take them at all.

High blood pressure is a problem that won’t go away without treatment and changes to your diet and lifestyle. The goal of treatment is to reduce your blood pressure to normal levels with medicine that’s easy to take and has few, if any, side effects. Your physician will use both the systolic and the diastolic blood pressure to determine your blood pressure category and appropriate prevention and treatment activities. For the physician, it is a difficult area due to the fact that patients don’t feel bad, yet must be prescribed medicines which can be costly and have side effects which make the patient feel worse than they did prior to treatment. If your blood pressure has remained stubbornly high despite taking at least three medications, including a diuretic, you may have resistant hypertension – blood pressure that is resistant to treatment. If these causes of resistant hypertension aren’t to blame or treatment doesn’t work, talk to your doctor about joining a clinical trial for high blood pressure.

Sudden Hearing Loss from Erectile Dysfunction Drugs (Jan 08)

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:12:52 +0000

FDA has received about 30 reports of sudden hearing loss in patients taking a class of erectile dysfunction drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. This class of drugs includes Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil). The problem was sometimes accompanied by tinnitus, vertigo, or dizziness. In most cases the hearing loss involved one ear, and about a third of the time it was temporary. Medical follow-up information was often limited for the reported cases, which makes it difficult to determine whether these reports are directly related to the use of one of these drugs, an underlying medical condition, or other risk factors for hearing loss, a combination of these factors, or other factors. FDA has asked the manufacturers of these erectile dysfunction drugs to display the risk of hearing loss more prominently in the labeling, and to guide patients on what to do if they experience hearing problems while they are on the drugs. The revised label will advise clinicians to let patients know that sudden hearing loss may be due to the drug, and to stop taking the drug and seek medical attention if they experience any sudden decrease or loss of hearing. Another PDE5 inhibitor, Revatio, also contains sildenafil, the same active ingredient as in Viagra. However, Revatio is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension rather than erectile dysfunction. FDA is working with the manufacturer of this drug to revise its labeling, too. Because pulmonary hypertension is a …
