Q: If you had normal or high blood pressure and then had a sudden onset of low blood pressure, you should seek medical attention immediately. New onset low blood pressure can be a major warning sign of life-threatening illness, especially for people with diabetes. Even if the sudden drop in blood pressure is your only symptom, contact your doctor. Some medications lower your blood pressure as a side effect. Discuss with your doctor whether any of your current medications could be lowering your blood pressure and if a change in your prescription medication regimen could help you raise your low blood pressure. Low blood pressure could be a sign of another medical condition such as diabetes, heart disease, cortisone deficiency, or a thyroid problem. Have your doctor evaluate you for other medical conditions if your low blood pressure remains a problem after making diet and lifestyle changes. Your doctor will likely recommend lab tests based on your specific medical history. These may include a complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), A1C, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, and electrocardiogram (EKG). Fludrocortisone and Midodrine are both medications that can help raise blood pressure. Ask your physician if one of these medications would be right for your situation. People are not generally prescribed medicine for low blood pressure, as it's not often a cause for concern unless it presents with symptoms. If your low blood pressure is accompanied by other symptoms, or if you had normal or even high blood pressure and now you suddenly have low blood pressure, you should seek medical attention. If you experience any of the following symptoms with low blood pressure, call your doctor: Dizziness Fainting Difficulty concentrating Blurred vision Nausea Clammy or pale skin Rapid, shallow breathing Fatigue Depression Thirst

Q: Move your lips slightly around it to create a complete seal. The opening of the mouthpiece should be pointing towards your throat. Now that the inhaler is in position, set your finger on top of the counter and push downwards. At the exact same time, take a full breath inwards with your mouth. This will push the medication from the inhaler into your open mouth and lungs. Continue holding the counter down as you inhale. Once you've taken that initial deep breath, continue to hold the air in your lungs for as long as you can. Ideally, you will hold your breath for around 10 seconds. This will let the medication fully enter your lungs and circulate. As you move the inhaler away from your mouth, keep it upright. Relax your mouth and breathe out slowly. Most people take 2 puffs of medication at a time. Once you've finished inhaling that first puff, give yourself a short break and then go again. It's usually a good idea to shake your inhaler before the second round, but you don't have to go through the entire priming process. For a Turbuhaler, you will need to turn the grip to hear a clicking sound once more.
A: Place the inhaler's mouthpiece against your mouth. Push your finger against the counter on the inhaler. Inhale and hold your breath for 10 seconds. Release the counter and pull the inhaler away. Shake and repeat.

Q: Never burn or compost the plants, which would only spread their inflammatory oils. To throw them away, always seal poison ivy up in closed garbage bags. Leave the bags out for garbage collection or drop them off at a dumpster. Irritating residues can easily transfer and stay on your gloves and other protective clothing. If you've been handling poison ivy plants, don't touch your face, ears, nose, or mouth until you've had a chance to throw away your gloves and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Make sure to launder any clothing that you wore while working on the poison ivy in the hottest water possible. Wash a second time to ensure that all of the poison ivy oils are removed. This may seem excessive, but it can save you a lot of discomfort and frustration later! Rinse your tools in mineral spirits to cleanse them properly. The plant will transfer irritating oils to your skin on contact, leading to a lot of discomfort. Wash the area thoroughly with soap and warm water, then scrub under your nails and wash any clothes that may have also come in contact with the plant. If you catch the contact quickly and wash within 1 hour, you can sometimes limit the rash. with medicated cream or a cold compress. If you do develop the stinging, itching red rash that comes with poison ivy oil, treat it immediately. Soothe the itching with a layer of calamine lotion, or make a cold compress by soaking a washcloth in cool water and wringing it out, then laying it over the affected skin. You can also apply non-prescription hydrocortisone to the area or take an antihistamine pill to help with itching and swelling. Although trying to resist the urge to scratch can feel like torture, it's important to avoid irritating the rash further. Scratching can cause an infection, so try to distract yourself and soothe the skin with a cool washcloth instead.
