Sometimes one feels dizzy, light heade while getting up from the Bed in the morning.
You feel wobbly, there seems to be a pressure in your head.
Dizziness
If you walk, you find you are off-balance and your feet take to n a direction you do not intend..
This becomes better after some time and you are alright after you take bath in warm water.
Why?
Unless you have a History of other ailments relating to Blood Pressure, Brain, Vertigo, Ear or Spinal Cord problems, the explanation s this.
As you lie down flat , your heart need not pump as vigorously as it has to while standing,as it has no Gravity to act against, it pumpsblood at a slower pace and your blood vessels relax.
When you stand up, the Gravity pulls Blood from the heart.
Brain, as usual grabs more Blood, it tells your heart to pump harder, and your blood vessels to contract which helps increase the blood flow to your brain (there are pressure sensors that help determine this).
As this process is taking place, occasionally your will get dizzy as a result of decreased blood flow to your brain.
If the pressure sensors don’t work fast enough, and your brain doesn’t get enough blood flow, you can actually faint.
Donate Blood, Eyes, Organs.. Donate Life to Others.. Live twice in the World..
In This World, Only 5% of the population donates blood. If only 10% of the population would donate, it would very possibly eliminate all blood shortage.. The gift of blood is the gift of life. There is no substitute for human blood. Every two seconds someone needs blood. More than 380,000 blood donations are needed every day. A total of 300 million blood components are transfused each year. So Donate Blood Save Someone Life
285 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision. Eye donation is donating the eyes after a person’s death. Eyes are very valuable part of a human being, which should not be wasted either by burning or burying the body. Donation of the eyes gives sight to TWO Corneally blind persons, enabling them to come out of their dark and dreary life into a life full of colors, a life where they can see and enjoy this beautiful world!
Organ donation is very important to help save the live of another. You can indicate on your driver’s license if you wish to be an organ donor. Every 13 minutes, another person is added to the transplant waiting list. There maybe some on a list that needs a new kidney to stay alive. By donating yours you could save the life of someone else’s loved one.
Organ Donors Save Lives You Can Save a Life Become an Organ Donor.. Please be an Organ Donor..
Blood Pressure and Sugar have a major role to play in to day’s Life.
These two are only manageable and can not be contained.
Yet the facts presented to us are confusing and at times contradictory.
Let us look at some facts.
Blood Pressure Chart
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure refers to the force of Blood against your Artey Walls as it Courses through your body.
How is it measured?
It has two numbers.
One is Systolic,
or the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and fills them with blood. The second number measures diastolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
Normal blood pressure rises steadily from about 90/60 at birth to about 120/80 in a healthy adult. If someone were to take your blood pressure immediately after you’d delivered a speech or jogged five miles, the reading would undoubtedly seem high. This is not necessarily cause for alarm: It’s natural for blood pressure to rise and fall with changes in activity or emotional state.
It’s also normal for blood pressure to vary from person to person, even from one area of your body to another. But when blood pressure remains consistently high, talk with your doctor about treatment. Consistently high blood pressure forces the heart to work far beyond its capacity. Along with injuring blood vessels, hypertension can damage the brain, eyes, and kidneys.
People with blood pressure readings of 140/90 or higher, taken on at least two occasions, are said to have high blood pressure. If the pressure remains high, your doctor will probably begin treatment. People with blood pressure readings of 200/130 or higher need treatment immediately. People with diabetes are treated if their blood pressure rises above 130/80, because they already have a high risk of heart disease.
The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
A normal diastolic blood pressure number is less than 80.
A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 indicates prehypertension.
A diastolic blood pressure number of 90 or higher is considered to be hypertension or high blood pressure.
If your blood pressure is normal (less than 120/80), get it checked at least every 2 years or more frequently as your doctor suggests.
If your blood pressure is borderline high — systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 or diastolic blood pressure of 80 to 89 — check it at least every year or more often as your doctor suggests.
If your blood pressure is 140/90 or higher, talk with your doctor as this is high blood pressure and requires a doctor’s attention.
As Blood Pressure changes during various times of the day,moods,depends on food take, it is advisable to take BP checked at various times before going in for medication.
How often?
If your blood pressure is normal (less than 120/80), get it checked at least every 2 years or more frequently as your doctor suggests.
If your blood pressure is borderline high — systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 or diastolic blood pressure of 80 to 89 — check it at least every year or more often as your doctor suggests.
If your blood pressure is 140/90 or higher, talk with your doctor as this is high blood pressure and requires a doctor’s attention.
Before you take your blood pressure, it’s recommended to avoid caffeine, cigarettes, and exercise for at least 30 minutes prior to the test.
When you take your blood pressure at home, sit up straight in a chair and place both feet on the floor. Make sure your arm is supported on a table or an even surface. Place the top of the arm at the level of your heart. Ask your doctor or nurse to show you the proper way to position your arm, so you get accurate readings.
When you monitor your blood pressure at home, take it at the same time of day so the readings are more constant. Then, take several readings about one minute apart. Be sure to write down these readings in a journal.

High bloodpressure, also known as hypertension, is the most common cardiovascular disease.
If you have high blood pressure, you’ll probably find out about it during a routine checkup. Or, you may have noticed a problem while taking your own blood pressure. But be sure to see your doctor for a definite diagnosis, and take the opportunity to learn what you can do to bring your blood pressure under control.
Blood pressure refers to the force of blood pushing against artery walls as it courses through the body. Like air in a tire or water in a hose, blood fills arteries to a certain capacity. Just as too much air pressure can damage a tire or too much water pushing through a garden hose can damage the hose, high blood pressure can threaten healthy arteries and lead to life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and stroke.
Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and a major cause of heart attack. In the United States alone, approximately 73 million people have high blood pressure.
A blood pressure reading appears as two numbers. The first and higher of the two is a measure of systolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and fills them with blood. The second number measures diastolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
Normal blood pressure rises steadily from about 90/60 at birth to about 120/80 in a healthy adult. If someone were to take your blood pressure immediately after you’d delivered a speech or jogged five miles, the reading would undoubtedly seem high. This is not necessarily cause for alarm: It’s natural for blood pressure to rise and fall with changes in activity or emotional state.
It’s also normal for blood pressure to vary from person to person, even from one area of your body to another.

Along with injuring blood vessels, hypertension can damage the brain, eyes, and kidneys.
People with blood pressure readings of 140/90 or higher, taken on at least 2 occasions, are said to have high blood pressure. If the pressure remains high, your doctor will probably begin treatment. People with blood pressure readings of 200/120 or higher need treatment immediately. People with diabetes are treated if their blood pressure rises above 130/80, since they already have a high risk of heart disease.
Researchers identified people with blood pressures slightly higher than 120/80 as a category at high risk for developing hypertension. This condition is called prehypertension and affects an estimated 50 million American men and women. Prehypertension is now known to increase the likelihood of damage to arteries and the heart, brain, and kidneys, so many doctors are now recommending early treatment.
Doctors in the UK, using electrical pulses to stimulate nerve centers deep within the brain, report reduced high blood pressure that can’t be controlled with medication, WebMD reports.
Researchers made the discovery after implanting a device that works as an electric stimulator of a region of the brain in a 55-year-old man who had developed chronic pain on the left side of his body following a stroke.
Though his pain eventually returned after four months, his doctors report that their patient’s previously uncontrolled blood pressure has remained normal for nearly three years. That was a surprise because experts had long thought that pain had to be reduced to see a reduction in blood pressure.
“Pain creates stress and that can have an effect on one’s blood pressure,” says Nikunj J. Patel, MD, a neurosurgeon at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol UK, and an author of the case study. Patel says that makes the impact of the case study “startling and exciting” because if studies bear the findings out, deep brain stimulation may one day help people with hypertension whose blood pressure remains uncontrolled on multiple medications.
