I’m asking for a friend – 30 yr old male, goes to the gym regularly and isn’t overweight.
He sweats a lot for no reason and someone told him that it means he has high blood pressure, is that true?

jle_dje asked:


I am a 30 year old female. I have had severe migranes in the past, which subsided when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. After she was born, I had high blood pressure and went onto prescription meds. During this time, I still get headaches, probably a side effect, but not migraines. My blood pressure is under control, but I am very sensitive to medicines. My meds are causing me to have a rapid heartbeat. My previous meds caused me to hallucinate and have nightmares and start to sleepwalk. Other meds I have been on caused me to have insomnia. I am so tired of being under a doctor’s care because it costs so much and the meds they give me always have a side effect and cause more problems. So I am looking for an herb that can help me with my high blood pressure, control my migranes, and it couldn’t hurt to lose some weight also. I don’t know if my problems come from a hormone problem, because it seems like it when my migranes was under control with my pregnancy. Any suggestions?

I have been having episodes of difficulty breathing and dizziness about twice a month for the past year. They only last about 20 minutes and seem to be more frequent in the fall and the summer. My doctor tested me for athsma; there was nothing wrong with my lungs. Then she gave me a perscription for Xanax, thinking I may be having panic attacks, and that didn’t do much.
Today I had an episode, and thinking it might be low blood pressure, I decided to use a blood pressure monitor to check. After a few readings on both arms, standing, sitting and laying down, my average blood pressure was about 150/105. (I used the monitor on my boyfriend and it said his pressure was normal, so I don’t think it was a misreading.)
I am pretty young to be having any problems with my blood pressure, and usually my readings are fairly normal.
What could be causing all these symptoms together for short periods of time if it’s not anxiety?

freezerfairy asked:


It is said that increased cardiac output may be an early feature, followed by increased peripheral resistance and normalisation of cardiac output.
The increased peripheral resistance is developed in a compensatory manner to prevent the raised pressure being transmitted to the capillary bed where it would substantially affect homeostasis.
What i don’t understand is why is peripheral resistance developed when cardiac output increased? How does this mechanism work?
And does this only apply to essential hypertension?
Thanks.

Always Honest asked:


My blood pressure is slightly elevated. I’m concerned that if I got pregnant that it would affect the baby negatively. If there are any health professionals out there who can give me sound advice on this please respond to how high blood pressure would affect a pregnancy and should I be concerned and what are the problems that could/would occur. I hav no knowledge so any information would be helpful Thanks.

I’m borderline hypotensive, and experience severe dizziness and sleepiness. What are some ways I can raise my blood pressure enough to erase these symptoms?
