admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:18:23 +0000

My husband took his blood pressure with an at home machine. His numbers have been 163/113 and 147/95. He argues with me that this is not high. Mine was 107/59 and mine is usually low.He refuses to go to a doctor and his has been high for a number of years. What are signs to look for that high blood pressure is affecting his organs and how long can it take to kill someone if left untreated. He is 48 years old. Thanks!!!

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, ‘You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, ‘Yes!’ And Woman said, ‘I’ll have one too with chocolate chips’. And lo they gained 10 pounds.

And God created healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

So God said, ‘Try my fresh green salad’. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said ‘I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them’.

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said ‘You want fries with that?’ and Man replied, ‘Yes, and super size ‘em’. And Satan said, ‘It is good.’ And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed ………. and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then …………. Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

How long can the hospital keep me for high bp?

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:08:37 +0000

I’m on day 5 of being in the hospital after delivering early via c-section. I’m also on doctor #5, each one has a different idea about how long I will be here. Has anyone else had persistant high blood pressure after delivering and they wouldn’t let you leave? I’m now on two medications, one of which has been increased twice and my bp just won’t stay down. It’s starting to feel like I could be here forever!

lupus question?

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 06:46:32 +0000

First off I want to say that I know that there are no doctors on here. I am looking for people with similar experiences.
My wife has been having problems for about eight years, with what doctors think is an auto immune problem. I have been researching the heck out of this and I think that she has lupus. Her main complaints are bouts of severe dizzyness, dry mouth hard to talk, chew, and swallow, and severe muscle pain. The muscle pain around her neck is so bad that she cannot wear a tshirt. She can only wear tank tops with ultra thin straps that do not put pressure on her muscles. She was diagnosed with RA when she was a teen. I have read that doctors can confuse RA with lupus.
She has a aunt with lupus and RA is on both sides of the family.
To those who have Lupus do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
I also want to add that she has potassium problems which led to a heart problem ( a-fib), and she has anxiety, Her old doc only wanted to treat the anxiety.

any medical doctors on here who may be able to ans this with explanation?

1.Case Presentation
A 68-year-old man presented to clinic with a 1-day history of constant, right lower quadrant pain. He denied fevers, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, melena, hematochezia, malaise, anorexia, cough, chest pain, headache, dysuria, and hematuria. His history was remarkable for bilateral inguinal hernia repairs 20 and 40 years ago, respectively, an episode of bacterial pneumonitis 3 months prior, and recent ultrasonic documentation of left atrial enlargement to 5.2 cm.
On physical examination, the patient was alert and oriented, appearing anicteric. He was afebrile, with an elevated systolic blood pressure of 188 mm Hg. His chest was clear to auscultation, and his heart rate was regular, with normal rhythm. His abdomen was soft to palpation and tender in the right lower quadrant, with voluntary guarding and questionable rebound. The abdomen was dull to percussion, except for the right lower quadrant where it was slightly tympanitic. No organomegaly or hernias were appreciated. Rectal examination was negative for occult blood.
Laboratory investigations disclosed the following: white cell count, 15,300 (neutrophils, 90%; basophils, 0%); hematocrit, 39.5%; platelets, 384,000 cells/mm3; serum sodium, 142 mmol/L; potassium, 4.1 mmol/L; chloride, 99 mmol/L; bicarbonate, 30 mEq/L; blood urea nitrogen, 13 mg/dL; creatinine, 0.9 mg/dL; glucose, 207 mg/dL; alkaline phosphatase, 80 U/L; prothrombin time, 13.3 seconds; and partial thromboplastin time, 25 seconds. Results of liver function tests and serum bilirubin were within normal limits.
Chest radiograph revealed a residual right upper lobe infiltrative, improved from the radiographic appearance at discharge 3 months previously. An abdominal radiograph showed a distended loop of bowel in the right lower quadrant, with the suggestion of pneumatosis.
Which of the following diagnoses should be considered based on the given clinical scenario?
A. Appendicitis
B. Colon carcinoma
C. Diverticulitis
