Question: How is hypertensive emergency diagnosed?
Answer: Symptoms of a hypertensive emergency include: Headache or blurred vision Increasing confusion Seizure Increasing chest pain Increasing shortness of breath Swelling or edema (fluid buildup in the tissues) To diagnose a hypertensive emergency, your health care providers will ask you several questions to get a better understanding of your medical history. They will also need to know all medications you are taking, including nonprescription and recreational drugs. Also, be sure to tell them if you are taking any herbal or dietary supplements. Certain tests will be performed to monitor blood pressure and assess organ damage, including: Regular monitoring of blood pressure Eye exam to look for swelling and bleeding Blood and urine testing In a hypertensive emergency, the first goal is to bring down the blood pressure as quickly as possible with intravenous ( IV) blood pressure medications to prevent further organ damage.
Question: How common is hypertensive emergency?
Answer: Hypertensive crisis is an umbrella term for hypertensive urgency and hypertensive emergency. When it does occur, it is often when hypertension goes untreated, if the patient does not take his or her blood pressure medication, or he or she has taken an over-the-counter medication that exacerbates high blood pressure.
Question: What is hypertensive crisis?
Answer: These two conditions occur when blood pressure becomes very high, possibly causing organ damage. Hypertensive emergency means blood pressure is so high that organ damage can occur.
Question: What is the biggest reason for  strokes?
Answer: It's the biggest culprit behind strokes, causing more than half of them.
Question: What is the best way to prevent strokes?
Answer: Experts say 80% of strokes can be prevented. The single best way to do that is to get your blood pressure in the healthy range. That means lower than 120/80.
Question: How can high blood pressure cause stroke?
Answer: Hypertension puts your arteries under constant stress. As with a tire that's been overpumped, too much force inside your blood vessels damages the artery walls and makes them weaker.
Question: What is an ischemic stroke?
Answer: In almost 9 out of 10 cases, you have a stroke because something, usually a clot, blocks the flow of blood to the brain. Doctors call this an ischemic stroke.
Question: What is a hemorrhagic stroke?
Answer: Strokes caused by bleeding in or around the brain. These are âhemorrhagicâ strokes. They tend to be more serious and deadlier than clot-based ones. A weak blood vessel breaks open, usually because of an aneurysm, a spot that has ballooned up from pressure.
Question: What can you do to prevent stroke?
Answer: Hypertension puts your arteries under constant stress. If you get your blood pressure under control, you can cut your chance of having a stroke by almost half. You can also aim to: Eat less salt, sugar, and saturated fats (mainly from meat and poultry). Avoid artificial trans fats (often found in processed foods that have âhydrogenatedâ ingredients). Eat more fiber, fruits, and leafy green vegetables Get to a healthy weight. Stop smoking. Limit alcohol.
Question: When is your blood pressure too high?
Answer: If your blood pressure is consistently 130/80 and above, you have hypertension. The top (systolic) number is the force in the arteries when the heart beats. The bottom (diastolic) one is the pressure between beats, when the heart rests. If either number is higher than normal, it means your heart is pumping harder than it should. Studies show that that over time, that makes you more likely to have a stroke.
Question: Can getting too much exercise delay a girl's first period?
Answer: Pushing your body too hard physically also can make your first period come late. This can happen with ballet dancers, runners, or other athletes. Intense workouts burn lots of calories and can leave very little body fat. Mix that with competitive pressure, and they can postpone your period until you're well into high school.
Question: When do girls usually start getting menstrual periods?
Answer: By age 15, 98% of teens have started their periods. If you're not one of them, make an appointment to talk to your doctor. She can ask you and a parent about your family history, daily activity level, and examine you to figure out the causes for your delay. The reasons may be nothing to worry about. Or they could be a sign that you have a health condition that you need to treat.
Question: How can medications cause period delay?
Answer: Certain types of drugs can keep you from having a period, including those used to treat cancer, high blood pressure, allergies, and depression. If you're taking any of them, your doctor may have explained that this could happen.
Question: What conditions might be behind your delayed periods?
Answer: Your doctor can find out if these problems may be the reason. Conditions that may be behind your delayed periods include: Problems with a part of your brain called the hypothalamus, or a nearby organ called the pituitary gland. They work together to control your hormones Polycystic ovary syndrome, which causes your hormones to get out of balance Genetic conditions like fragile X syndrome, Turner syndrome, or androgen insensitivity syndrome
Question: Can too much stress delay a girl's first period?
Answer: Pushing your body too hard physically also can make your first period come late. This may happen if you're stressed all the time, no matter if it comes from too much homework, family problems, intense sports training, or other issues.
Question: What are symptoms of islet cell tumors?
Answer: Like pancreatic adenocarcinoma, islet cell tumors may cause abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. Hormones released by an islet cell tumor can also cause symptoms: These include Insulinomas (excess insulin): sweating, anxiety, lightheadedness, and fainting from low blood sugar Glucagonomas (excess glucagon): diarrhea, excessive thirst or urination, weight loss Gastrinomas (excess gastrin): abdominal pain, stomach ulcers that can bleed, reflux, weight loss Somatostatinomas (excess somatostatin): diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, foul-smelling fatty stools VIPomas (excess vasoactive intestinal peptide): watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, facial flushing In a very small number of people with pancreatic cancer, early symptoms might be present that could lead to an earlier diagnosis.
Question: What are islet cell tumors?
Answer: Islet cell tumors account for less than 5% of all pancreas tumors.
Question: What are symptoms of rare pancreatic cancer?
Answer: Like pancreatic adenocarcinoma, islet cell tumors may cause abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. Hormones released by an islet cell tumor can also cause symptoms: These include Insulinomas (excess insulin): sweating, anxiety, lightheadedness, and fainting from low blood sugar Glucagonomas (excess glucagon): diarrhea, excessive thirst or urination, weight loss Gastrinomas (excess gastrin): abdominal pain, stomach ulcers that can bleed, reflux, weight loss Somatostatinomas (excess somatostatin): diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, foul-smelling fatty stools VIPomas (excess vasoactive intestinal peptide): watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, facial flushing In a very small number of people with pancreatic cancer, early symptoms might be present that could lead to an earlier diagnosis.
Question: How do people get pancreatic cancer?
Answer: Initially, pancreatic cancer tends to be silent and painless as it grows. By the time it's large enough to cause symptoms, pancreatic cancer has generally grown outside the pancreas.
Question: What are skin-related symptoms of pancreatic cancer?
Answer: As pancreatic cancer blocks duct that releases bile into the intestine (common bile duct), the ingredients of bile build up in the blood. This turns the skin and the eyes yellow, a condition called jaundice. The same blockage causes dark urine, light colored stools, and itching.
Question: What are rare forms of pancreatic cancers?
Answer: Islet cell tumors account for less than 5% of all pancreas tumors.
Question: Which pancreatic cancer locations show symptoms early?
Answer: In general, symptoms appear earlier from cancers in the head of the pancreas, compared to those in the body and tail.
Question: Do early symptoms of pancreatic cancer exist?
Answer: Hormones released by an islet cell tumor can also cause symptoms: These include Insulinomas (excess insulin): sweating, anxiety, lightheadedness, and fainting from low blood sugar Glucagonomas (excess glucagon): diarrhea, excessive thirst or urination, weight loss Gastrinomas (excess gastrin): abdominal pain, stomach ulcers that can bleed, reflux, weight loss Somatostatinomas (excess somatostatin): diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, foul-smelling fatty stools VIPomas (excess vasoactive intestinal peptide): watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, facial flushing In a very small number of people with pancreatic cancer, early symptoms might be present that could lead to an earlier diagnosis. Unfortunately, researchers have been unable to identify any predictable pattern.
Question: What symptoms of pancreatic cancer should cause concern?
Answer: That said, symptoms like unintentional weight loss, persistent loss of appetite, yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, or light-colored stools should always prompt concern. Consistent or worsening discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea are also disconcerting. If you feel something's not right, see your doctor.
Question: How is jaundice a symptom of pancreatic cancer?
Answer: As pancreatic cancer blocks duct that releases bile into the intestine (common bile duct), the ingredients of bile build up in the blood. This turns the skin and the eyes yellow, a condition called jaundice. The same blockage causes dark urine, light colored stools, and itching.
Question: What are gastrointestinal symptoms of pancreatic cancer?
Answer: Because of the location of the pancreas in the body, symptoms include: Jaundice. As pancreatic cancer blocks duct that releases bile into the intestine (common bile duct), the ingredients of bile build up in the blood. Abdominal pain. Pancreatic cancer can cause a dull ache in the upper abdomen radiating to the back. The pain may come and go. Bloating. Some people with pancreatic cancer have a sense of early fullness with meals (satiety) or an uncomfortable swelling in the abdomen. Nausea. Some people with pancreatic cancer develop diabetes as the cancer impairs the pancreas' ability to produce insulin.
Question: Does pancreatic cancer cause itching?
Answer: As pancreatic cancer blocks duct that releases bile into the intestine (common bile duct), the ingredients of bile build up in the blood. Some people with pancreatic cancer have a sense of early fullness with meals (satiety) or an uncomfortable swelling in the abdomen.
Question: What are side effects of guarana?
Answer: The side effects of guarana are generally the same as the side effects of caffeine. They include sleep problems, anxiety, restlessness, upset stomach, and quickened heartbeat. Long-term use of caffeine may result in tolerance and psychological dependence.
Question: What does the research say about guarana?
Answer: It may contain up to 3.6% to 5.8% caffeine by weight. So far, studies have not found that guarana is helpful for improving cognitive ability or mood. Some people use guarana to boost athletic or sexual performance. But there's no evidence to back this up. There's some evidence that guarana â when used along with other supplements â may promote weight loss. Studies have not established this.
Question: What are risk of taking guarana?
Answer: Caffeine can improve mental performance and alertness in sleep-deprived people, and guarana would logically have the same effect. Talk to your doctor before using guarana if you have high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, glaucoma, osteoporosis, heart problems, bleeding disorders, diabetes, kidney problems, or liver disease. At least one death has been reported in a young woman with mitral valve prolapse who consumed a guarana containing drink. People with MVP should speak to their doctor before using guarana.
Question: Why do people take guarana?
Answer: Guarana has among the highest concentrations of caffeine in any plant. It may contain up to 3.6% to 5.8% caffeine by weight. Coffee only has up to 2%. It's uncertain if the guarana specifically was responsible.
Question: What is guarana?
Answer: Because it's high in caffeine, guarana has become a popular energy supplement. The safety of using guarana for weight loss is unknown.
Question: What are the different types of life support?
Answer: If these systems stop working for any reason, you need life support: Lungs: In cases of near-drowning, pneumonia, drug overdose, a blood clot, and severe lung injury or disease, such as COPD and cystic fibrosis, and muscle or nerve diseases such as ALS and muscular dystrophy Heart: Sudden cardiac arrest or heart attack Brain: Stroke or a severe blow to the head When most people talk about a person being on life support, they're usually talking about a ventilator, which is a machine that helps someone breathe. A ventilator (or respirator) keeps oxygen flowing throughout the body by pushing air into the lungs. It's used temporarily for conditions like pneumonia, but it may be needed longer for someone with lung failure. One end of a tube goes into the windpipe through the nose or mouth. The other end attaches to the electric pump. Some people get medicine to make them more comfortable and sleepy while on a breathing machine. When a person's heart stops, doctors will try to restart it. These life support methods include CPR, which keeps blood and oxygen flowing throughout the body, electric shocks (called defibrillation) to get the heart beating again, and medication to help the heart work.
Question: When do doctors stop life support?
Answer: Doctors usually advise stopping life support when there is no hope left for recovery. The organs are no longer able to function on their own. Keeping the treatment going at that point may draw out the process of dying and may also be costly. Choosing to remove life support usually means that the person will die within hours or days. The timing depends on what treatment is stopped. People tend to stop breathing and die soon after a ventilator shuts off, though some do start breathing again on their own. If he is not taking in any fluids, he will usually die within several days of a feeding tube removal, though he may survive for as long as a week or two. When someone is unconscious or not of sound mind, doctors and family members decide when life support measures should stop. It's a hard decision, especially if the sick person hasn't previously discussed his end-of-life wishes with his family. Doctors encourage family members to focus on what they think their loved one would want. It's important to remember that it's the underlying condition, not the removal of life support, that actually causes someone to die, and doctors will do all they can to keep your loved one comfortable.

Question: How common is iron-deficiency anemia?
Answer: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Iron-deficiency anemia, the most common form of anemia, is a decrease in the number of red blood cells caused by too little iron. Without sufficient iron, your body can't produce enough hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that makes it possible for them to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. As a result, you may feel weak, tired, and irritable. About 20% of women, 50% of pregnant women, and 3% of men do not have enough iron in their body. The solution, in many cases, is to consume more foods high in iron.
Question: How can you get more iron from your food?
Answer: As a result, you may feel weak, tired, and irritable. To absorb the most iron from the foods you eat, avoid drinking coffee or tea or consuming calcium-rich foods or drinks with meals containing iron-rich foods. To improve your absorption of iron, eat it along with a good source of vitamin C -- such as orange juice, broccoli, or strawberries -- or eat nonheme iron foods with a food from the meat, fish, and poultry group. But speak to your health care provider about the proper dosage first and follow his or her instructions carefully. Because very little iron is excreted from the body, iron can accumulate in body tissues and organs when the normal storage sites -- the liver, spleen, and bone marrow -- are full. Although iron toxicity from food sources is rare, deadly overdoses are possible with supplements.
Question: Where does nonheme iron come from?
Answer: The solution, in many cases, is to consume more foods high in iron. Most nonheme iron is from plant sources.
Question: How does your body use iron in food?
Answer: There are two forms of dietary iron: heme and nonheme. Heme iron is derived from hemoglobin. It is found in animal foods that originally contained hemoglobin, such as red meats, fish, and poultry (meat, poultry, and seafood contain both heme and non-heme iron). Your body absorbs the most iron from heme sources. Most nonheme iron is from plant sources. To improve your absorption of iron, eat it along with a good source of vitamin C -- such as orange juice, broccoli, or strawberries -- or eat nonheme iron foods with a food from the meat, fish, and poultry group.
Question: What is the darker area of skin in the breast called?
Answer: The nipple is in the center of a darker area of skin called the areola. The areola contains small glands, called Montgomery glands, which lubricate the nipple during breast-feeding. Fat fills the spaces between the lobes and ducts. There are no muscles in the breasts, but the pectoral or chest muscles lie under each breast and cover the ribs.
Question: What happens to the breast after ovulation?
Answer: Each breast also contains blood vessels, as well as vessels that carry a fluid called lymph. At this time, the breasts often become engorged with fluid and may be tender and swollen.
Question: What sleep milestones should you expect in your 2-month-old?
Answer: Your baby's sleep patterns are evolving, but at two months, they still aren't fully established. At this age, babies sleep 15 to 16 hours a day. But those hours are sporadic, and they usually aren't ready to sleep through the night. This is especially true for breastfed babies, who generally wake up to eat every three hours or so.
Question: What communication milestones should you expect in your 2-month-old?
Answer: For a 2-month-old, most communication consists of crying. But you may hear a few gurgles, grunts, and even some sweet coos. Your baby should recognize your face and voice, and respond to them. You might even see the first adorable hint of a smile.
Question: What senses milestones should you expect in your 2-month-old?
Answer: At two months, babies can see objects -- and people -- from up to 18 inches away. That means you still need to get pretty close, but your baby will be able to see your face pretty well while feeding. She should also be able to follow movements when you walk close by. Baby's hearing is improving, too. Your 2-month-old will especially enjoy listening to the sound of your voice.
