HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE C0NSULTATION FEES CAN BE HIGH,HOW DO I GO ABOUT IT?

It is only in the remote village and sub-standard lives settlement of the world that health has to be paid for by individual citizen in a normal set up,no one pays for his health and hence there is no question about the consultation fees, it is the duty of a normal government to see to the welfare of its citizenry.

But you need not fear the consultation, you may know you have a high blood pressure by checking it at home yourself you can do this by using any of the common blood pressure machines, you can get the assistance of any health personnel to teach you , but the correct interpretation of a blood pressure measured at home is the reason you should visit a doctor, a well trained doctor detects and interprets illness with ease.

He was trained to do so, he was trained to provide the most important and most appropriate counsel about your complaints just like the nurse was trained to assist all patient to be in the most comfortable state in their state of ill health while the pharmacist was tutored to give appropriate counsel about drugs,a medical practitioner has the obligation to give adequate treatment to enable a life to continue.

The main danger though is that self medication without doctor prescription is like attempting suicide because all drugs (including anti hypertensive)for high blood pressure are potential poisons, many have died not because their illness were too serious but because the drugs they bought over the counter themselves negate their continued existence.

IF THE INFORMATION GIVING TO ME BY THE DOCTOR I CONTACTED BECOMES CONFLICTING WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
All you need to do is to make sure you have a reliable family doctor who is fully competent in the proper care of heart disease and of the hypertensive,the doctor should be a consultant cardiologist or a good physician of repute who has been known to deal with clients with utmost safety.

This is because it is not all doctors that are very competent when it comes to the netty –gritty of heart disease (high blood pressure) and its care.Moreover opinions differ on many common disease and the idea of any good clinician is most likely to be acceptable to the majority of other clinician,therefore you must search for a good one.Click Here to learn more

EARLY STAGES OF HYPERTENSION .

Hypertension can be understood if a little about the science of blood pressure measurement is known.Blood pressure is the equivalent power in millimeters of mercury by which the heart pumps blood around the body.The heart itself is the mechanical pump that discharges under pressure it’s blood content at intervals into the luminal arteries arterioles of the body.

The force of it’s muscular contraction depends on the average volume it has to eject and the opposing forces it must overcome to discgarge the appropriate quantity everytime it contracts. The opposing forces are mainly dependent on resistingelastic arterial walls-a direct reflection on healthy or unhealthy blood vessels.Its force of contraction also depends on the state and size of the heart’s distribution network which indirectly means the weight of the individual.

And thirdly, the heart’s contraction force still depends on the blood-load itself and this means that the more fluid the blood is,the easier for the heart to effectively distribute it,and the thicker the blood,the more likely the heart will have a problem with it’ ability to pump the blood around.

Moreover,the heart must daily overcome many frictional forces engineered by the combined effects of the roughened arterial walls and the literal ‘road blocks’ and ‘check points’ within and around the organs the heart must supply with blood every moment of the day! In the normal person,these obstructions (technically termed ‘impeadance’ or ‘peripheral resistance’),due to the friction and the arterial wall resistance,are almost insignificant in relation to the heart’s normal performances whether in exercise or at rest throughout a lifetime.

But in the hypertensive,the situation is very different:the pressure in each of the four chambers of the heart fluctuates at each stressful effort made by the heart because the load may be too heavy for it(high blood volume from a massive size of the individual) or the resisting arteries may cause too much frictional force due to ageing process or disease states within them.

The simple problem in the hypertensive is that the load the heart carries and the path it must take to deliver it to its usual destination is ‘too hard’ and very uncomfortable for it to achieve without its adding more effort.The heart has to put in more effort for every extra load it must carry so as to achieve the feat each time.The effort is a great task for the heart and this means an increased (high) blood pressure task for the heart.

Therefore, by definition, ‘arterial hypertension’ (or ‘systemic hypertension’-for so it is called),is the blood pressure that is persistently high and may reach levels that are high enough to damage many body important organs.But blood pressure measurement allows a good gauge of the expectations of both the non-hypertensive and the hypertensive and allows the good physician to explain to the subject all that it entails for the subject to survive.
