If you use a cuff that is too small, the resulting blood pressure reading will be too high. And if you use a cuff that is too large, the resulting blood pressure reading will be too low. This is very serious in the sense that if the cuff is too small,  you will be incorrectly diagnosed with high blood pressure. As a result, you will be taking in medications which may have negative effects on your body. On the other hand, if your blood pressure is high and goes undiagnosed because of the use of large cuff, it may lead to damage blood vessels, stroke and heart attack. It is advisable to insist on the correct cuff size to your arm when your blood pressure is being checked.

I realized that this cigarette addiction was really defeating me, but I couldn’t control it. I lived for cigarette and imagined dying with a cigarette. But just one day I took a bold decision to quit smoking after losing my property and my only daughter due to a house fire which started with my careless cigarette smoking. It was very horrible and I don’t want to talk about it. I wish to turn back the hands of time and save my innocent baby. But it’s too late now for me but not for you. I hope my experience help you change. Life is too short and it seems such a waste to pay a cigarette company to kill you slowly. Get assistance from a clinical psychologist and you will go through quitting successfully.                                                                                                                                 Simon writes….. #www.lifefrom30.blogspot.com#hypertensionawareness#

He was one of the most intelligent, handsome and God fearing guys on campus. We became attracted to each other during school days and got married after his first appointment in a financial institution. He was so serious with his work to the extent that he was loved by almost all his authorities. He moved his company to a higher level and was promoted to be a branch manager. It all started when he complained about his periodic headaches. I usually supply him with some pain killers just to calm him down. He was diagnosed of hypertension at 38yrs, after he was rushed to the clinic due to a sudden collapse at the office. He was put on some antihypertensive and some cholesterol controlling drugs. Initially, I was supervising him on the intake of his medication. But I stopped after a year when I realized he was complying with therapy.

She has been on anti hypertensive drugs after the birth of my six year old brother. Her antihypertensive drugs have been changed several times because she keeps complaining a lot of symptoms to her doctor.

A mother was lucky enough to see her three daughters get married the same year, so she called them after the wedding and told them,'' Don’t forget to text me your first night experience and text in code”. So….after a week, the first daughter texted “NESCAFE” and the next week, the second texted “BENSON”, the mother being an intelligent woman, went to get a Nescafe tin and read the label ''fantastic till the last drop” ,went to her husband’s pack of Benson cigarette and read” Extra long, king size” she smiled and said, ”not bad for their ages”.

Our marriage was one of the most enviable type in our family, all because we loved and respected each other so much that we were seen together always. But I didn’t know my wife’s first pregnancy could turn both of us into total strangers. She changed in both physical and psychological wellbeing and I didn’t know how to handle it. Her kissable lips turned into an exit for saliva and vomitus and that was something I couldn’t stand at that time. Her nagging and temper tantrums prevented me from staying at home as I used to .Although I was eager to see my baby, I didn’t know that was the price to pay. Throughout her pregnancy, that happiness in our marriage wasn’t felt anymore and I mostly stay out till late just to avoid an argument. During her eighth months of pregnancy, we had our baby through an emergency caesarean section due to an uncontrolled hypertension. I didn’t know her mum had high blood pressure and that could expose her to it. Fortunately, her blood pressure became norma

I  am a 23year old guy and a final year student  at the University.My mum is hypertensive and I see her taking her medications most frequently.Seriously, I  didn't know high blood pressure was hereditary till I read it on your page.Although my lifestyle is not the best to be considered as  healthy but I do well with  my exercises at the gym centre.And I thought that was cool for my age.This statement kept ringing in my ears"Do you know your reading?",till I went to a clinic nearby to check my blood pressure reading.I was amazed when the nurse explained the readings to me after several checks(130/89 - 132/90mmHg).My heart began to beat more faster than normal but after the education by the nurse and doctor on duty,I felt better and wanted  more of the education.After checking my blood pressure for three days,the doctor confirmed me as Prehypertensive and told me how easy to work on it with lifestyle modification but not medications.They told me more of all that you have be

Atherosclerosis is a  disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries.Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of the body.The plaque is a composition of fats,cholesterol,calcium and other waste substances in the blood.These substances gradually fill up the lumen of the artery making it narrow.It may start with a damage or injury to to the inner layer of your artery.You usually won't have any signs and symptoms at the onset,until the lumen is completely narrowed. Hence preventing free flow of blood through the artery to the heart,brain and other parts of the body.This will then increase the pressure of the blood in the artery and can lead to stroke and heart failure.Atherosclerosis can be prevented and treated.The best prevention is to reduce your fats and cholestrol intake.

"It is my life,I can live how I want and die how I want.If it's salt that will kill me then so be it but stop controlling my life.I am the head of the house!" I said.. Julie,my wife looked at me silently and turned away.She refused to talk to me since that statement.No hugs,no kisses and no sex.And it has been going on for one week. I was diagnosed of hypertension three months ago and was told to reduce my salt intake.That was a big blow to me because I love salty foods.Be it salted pork,salted fish,salted sausage,name it.Salt had to be on my hand at my dining table.So when the doctor said I have to give up this delicious taste,I did not like the idea.My wife however heeded to the advice and stopped putting salt in my food.I tolerated it at first but after the third day I couldn't contain it anymore.I bought a salt myself and kept adding it to my meals secretly till I was caught by wife.Hence the above argument,leading to the cold shoulder. Now reader,If you were i

One of the key compounds in garlic is ajoene, a proven antifungal that has been shown to be effective against many fungal strains. Ajoene is formed from a compound named allicin and an enzyme named allinase. When these two natural compounds come into contact (by chopping the garlic, crushing it or by other means), they form an antibacterial agent named allicin, which then combines to form ajoene. Although this has proven antifungal properties, the exact mechanism by which this happens is not clear. As with other antifungals, scientists suspect that it works by disrupting the cells walls of the Candida yeast cells. A major advantage of garlic is that it is so easy to include in your treatment plan. Garlic tablets, softgels and oils are widely available, and fresh garlic cloves make a tasty addition to many recipes. You can use garlic as a complement to your other antifungals without having to spend a great deal of money. To get the best results and prevent the Candida yeast from ad

Salt(Sodium) is essential to our bodies but too much salt intake is dangerous.Normally, the kidneys control the level of salt in the body by excreting it through urine.If we take in too much salt,the kidneys cannot keep up and it ends up in our blood stream.Salt attracts water.When too much salt is in the blood,the salt draws water into the blood.More water in the blood increases the volume of the blood hence raising the pressure of the blood..Reduce your daily salt intake to control or prevent high blood pressure.

On 24 th March, 2014, I had a mild heart attack at 38 years that was partly caused by high blood pressure (180/110mmHg). Prior to the heart attack, I didn’t even know I had the disease, despite having many of the risk factors. Although I had a family history of high blood pressure, I never bothered to ever check my blood pressure. The reason was that, I thought it was an old age sickness and I wasn’t one yet. I didn’t pay attention to my salt and cholesterol intake too and all these were risk factors to high blood pressure. . It was a very scary experience when I was told about my diagnosis and trust me the doctor did his best by allaying all my fears before breaking the news to me. He also educated me on how to prevent the second occurrence of the attack by working on the risk factors, especially on my lifestyle (exercise and diet).I started reading on good health books, participating in health walks, and attending health programs just to be well informed. Currently, my blood pres
