Is a blood pressure of 117 / 93 high or low, and is it dangerous?
A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high). Being that your 50, you are typically at a higher risk factor. If you take your systolic and minus the diastolic you will get your Arterial Pulse Pressure. Usually, the resting pulse pressure in healthy adults, sitting position, is about 40 mmHg. In your case, your pulse pressure at that momment was 24; so re-check your pressure in a sitting resting position and record your pulse to rule out error. Having a low arterial pulse pressure and tachycardia (high pulse) may indicate an issue such with low cardiac output. The headaches are not good either. Call your doctor and tell him all your symptoms. If you dont have a doctor, just go to an ER early in the morning and explain your headaches and abnormal blood pressure and they will do a CT scan. Best of luck to you!
Is scorpio considered a zodiac sign of royalty, leadership, and power?
The only sign which has three symbols, it is up to the individual to some degree whether you become a scorpion, an eagle or a grey lizard. The scorpion is legendary for the sting in the tail, and gives the Scorpian a fearsome reputation. The grey lizard tends to turn the prodigous Scorpio energy and passion inwards on himself and become bitter and melancholy, perhaps prone to drug or alcohol dependency. However the eagle soars above the problems of the world with no fear. The person born under this most complex of signs has a steady gaze and piercing, hypnotic eyes. You have total ego: you are not bothered by insults or compliments as you have an untouchable sense of who and what you are. You tend to be cool and composed, rarely nervous, and with a vitality and charisma. Your hot inner nature is masked by an inscrutable poker-face. A compliment from you is praise indeed as you don't deign to flatter and tend to tell the truth, warts and all. However you may have a sweet nature, especially sympathetic towards the infirm. If roused to revenge for any reason, the scorpion will sting and sting again, anxious to get even at any cost, whereas the eagle will take his just revenge then move on and rise above negative emotions. Negative emotions are the province of the grey lizard type of Scorpian. You seldom become ill, but be careful if you do as it may be serious. You may be deeply interested in life and death, religion, sex and a desire to right wrongs. Brave and faithful to family and loved ones, protective of the small and weak. You are possessive of what's yours and quietly ambitious. Love & Blessings Milly
I'm very short tempered. This is creating a lot of problems in my life. I lose my temper on very little things. What should I do?
Short tempered people lose control over themselves very soon out of anger. So the basic question is how to control anger. 1) When you are very angry with somebody, don't react instantly but respond after a while. Count 1 to 20 slowly, take time before you respond. It is difficult to control yourself. You will be tempted to give a befitting reply by shouting or giving a little beating. Tit for tat. Such prompt reaction also give a feeling of satis faction. But if you practise the counting exercise at the time of excitement, your anger will subside to a great deal. For serious action, wait 24 hrs and do what you think fit. 2) When you are angry like anything with somebody, wait a bit before any reaction. Remember the good days you enjoy with the person concerned. Your anger will subside slowly. Your wish to insult/harm/hurt the person will change. 3) Wait and think patiently. Are you not at all resposible for the situation? Is their anything in the oppnents defence? Is it not proper to give a hearing before action? 4) If he is solely guilty, there are so many proper ways to punish him or her. Don't speak with the person as long as you think fit. This action will made him/ her understood and repented of his/her guilt and cofirm not to repeat. 5) You come of a respectable family. Rough reaction like shouting, etc, harm your status and social prestige. 6) Your rough behaviour may cost you permanant loss of relation with the person. Think a bit. 7) Any rough action may also land you with further complications like police coplaint, legal suits etc. 8) You and the concerned person will not be together for ever. The relation will end anytime with the death of that person or you. Have a little more patience, if possible. 9) The concerned person may be a patient of high B.P. or chronic depression. Have pity on him. Angry reply from you may be proved fatal for him/her. 10) Your health is of the highest concern. You cannot risk your health. Anger may cause different health hazards for you. 11) For instant relief from anger, a glass of water can do magic. Lying flat also drive out anger. Have you ever seen people quarelling on lying mode? Lying people first sit up and then stand up firmly to react. 11) All these will act as deterrent against... anger.....
I have high BP and I am just 23. Am I in a really complicated situation?
My parents had hypertension (Hbp) at a young age too.First and foremost, DO NOT start with elopathical medicine. They will kill you in the long term and they will never cure your condition, instead they will make your body addicted to it so that whenever you skip a day of medication your BP will rise fatally. I have a family experience, I have a lot of insight in this matter.YOGA: this is some shit that totally lowers your blood pressure bringing it back to normal. Specially Pranayama. (Breathing exercises. )MEDICATION: this is a dangerous condition hence, you do need medicines, but of the right kind. Both Ayurveda and Homeopathy have permanent cures for this condition. But Elopathy has a temporary suppressing cure with tons of side effects. Opt for either homeopathy or ayurveda. They take their time but they cure you once and for all.PRECAUTIONS: Do not workout heavily or let your sweat too much. Pressure on the blood vessels might rupture them or you might suffer a stroke unexpectedly because of this. Always carry water everywhere with you. Always keep yourself extremely hydrated. Your body needs more water than us.Do Not have salty food. Salt will lodge into your cells and as soon as you consume watery substances, your body will swell due to endosmosis which is extremely dangerous for your blood vessels as it will increase the pressure on them which can fatally damage them. Hence avoid salty food at home and completely avoid salty oily fast food, they have the worst kind of salt. People with HBP have a special low iodised salt that you get in medical stores. Consume that.Heat: avoid it. When the weather is hot avoid going out doors. Avoid consuming hot food and drinks. Even hot water. Keep your body temperature as normal as possible. Or your chances of suffering a stroke increases.Stress: Avoid it. Completely. Do not fret over anything ever. Try to stay as happy as possible. And SPECIALLY avoid being concerned with your blood pressure.Fats : fatty tissues will increase your BP tremendously, try to stay as lean as possible. Diet (only fresh fruits and vegetables) and workout (only yoga) don't try any other ways to lose weight. This condition is curable. My family members have lived long enough to prove that. Just follow the above and practical Yogasanas and seek Ayurvedic or Homeopathic help. And you be all cured and back to normal before you even know it.
How can I control my anger?
There once lived a boy who had a bad temper. He would get angry at every little thing. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails and told him, "Every time you get angry, hammer a nail into that front wall."And so the activity started. On the first day, the boy hammered 50 nails. The next day, he hammered 40. Each time he used to go there, he repented being angry - it was quite a challenge to hammer a nail into that damn brick wall! Slowly, he discovered that controlling anger was easier than hammering, and the number of nails hammered started going down.Eventually, a day came when he didn't get angry, and he felt the joy of it. Now his father gave him another task, "If you do not get angry the entire day, remove one nail from the wall." After several days, all the nails were removed.Now his father took him near the wall and asked him what did he see. The boy replied that he can see holes in the wall. The father then explained to his son: "These holes are like the scars that you leave on people when you get angry. No matter how many times you say sorry, the scar does not go."So I suggest you two things:Realize that words once spoken cannot come back. Your anger hurts others and leaves a sour impression that lasts forever.Each time you get angry, "hammer a nail". Simplest thing you can do is to carry a pocket diary and put a line each time you get angry. Then at night, count the number of lines for that day. If you make this a habit, each time you would get angry, you would be reminded to note it down. Indirectly, you would also realize that you getting angry. And because you are conscious and aware at that time, you would find it easier to control your actions and subdue anger.I hope the day comes soon when you don't have any line in your diary.
Holter Monitor due to severe anxiety?
Hi I am a 21 year old male who is in emotional and pyshical distress due to me worrying my self to death about my heart. For the past 2 years I have been I and out of hospitals due to panic attacks and anxiety I have a had a who's who of test done on my body several blood test urine test 3 ekgs 1 echocardiogram all to hear the Doctor tell me he isn't overly concerned about anything he did one time find that I was slightly low on magnesium and potassium but he wasn't overly concerned about that he put me on Magnesium and Potassium supplements and recently the doctor at the ER told me he found on an EKG I had a prolonged Qt interval. Well he referred me to a heart specialist doctor and the heart doctor went over all my previous EKG's and he told me I did not have a prolonged QT interval the ER doctor's machine was not correct WTF I know right but anyways after all that worry thinking I had a prolonged QT interval the heart doctor wanted me to do this test to rule everything out and give me peace of mind because this anxiety was causing palpitations which he wanted to make sure was from anxiety. The test is a Holter Monitor which I am wearing right now and I have had it on for a half of the full 24 hours and I have been anxious about it nearly every hour of today while I was wearing it so that means palpitations but my question is after all these test I have had and all this stress I have put myself through is this common does this come off as anxiety to you or something more severe I am just worried and scared of the unknown im really worried about the holter monitor results I will be receiving in a few days Thank You.

I'm scared of my dad, what should I do?
1st of all, maybe you think since they are parents they have a right to talk like that as parents. Turns out many parents are abusers. Actually they are not trying to be tough to make you responsible- they are tricking you. This goes for people at school as well. Hurting people control/hurt others. It's not you.. They are the ones who have a problem. People/parents do mean things- ignore/abandon to control. They just want the reaction so they can get high feel good from it. You have to look at the agenda. Abuse is anything and words that are not uplifting. So forget what truth is being used right then. Remember -THEY actually get high on being mean, and thats why they do it, they are wrong about everything. The abuser is close-minded and self-righteous. So the parents abuse makes children react with all known so called mental Illnesses- painful but not a real disease - includes all OCD, BP ETC. Psychiatrists commit fraud in that there is zero science in what they do. They do not draw blood to test for imbalances. For chemical imbalances no test exists. There is no conception of what a correct chemical balance would look like to date. People in the FDA agree. I have links for this. After abuse, drugs or witchcraft, all types mental sickness can be a spiritual problem - Jesus name is needed to banish what is there.. Google- "Inside the Mind of an Abuser" http://www.googobits.com/articles/2446-inside-the-mind-of-an-abuser-what-you-need-to-know.html-See how it works and be free...Google "self righteous" God wants you to know truth, forgive, and get away from them. Read many many sites under "emotional abuse" for real results.. Source--Seeing people overcome this --Talk to me for help. I have time.
Can stress or anger cause a heart attack?
Yes. I had a big arguement with my boss. I had been biting my tongue for about 8 years with him. One day i just couldn't hold it in any longer. years of anger came pouring out over the phone. it needed to come out, but i was upset. I was aged 52 at the time. 2 hours later I had severe chest pains, I couldn't stand up. I phoned my daughter, a nurse. she arrived within 10 mins and called an ambulance. I spent the night in cardiac care with all sorts of monitors. they found no damage. For the following 6 months or so, I was very weak, not able to do what I had before. That was 7 years ago. I feel ok now, but always tired. So, yes, stress can and does cause heart attack. Probably not at your age.
