Q: Do the doctor always check your weight and blood pressure levels?
i am 20 weeks pregnant, and my doctor have not asked or checked my weight or blood pressure levels once?
What should happen at every doctors appointment?

A: They should have you pee in a cup, put you on the scale AND take your blood pressure EVERY single time you walk into that office. Weight and blood pressure fluctuations are the number 1 indicator of how the your baby, and the pregnancy are progressing. If your weight is up too far, too fast, it could indicate gestational diabetes, if it’s not going up at all it could indicate failure to thrive. And if you pressure is elevated, it could mean toxemia, or a prolapsed placanta. Whether or not your doctor does an ultrasound at every checkup depends on the doctor, and isn’t even recommended by most. Also, I’ve never heard of doing blood test at every checkup. But I would DEFINITELY be concerned about the quality of care I was recieving if my doctor hadn’t even bothered to check my WEIGHT at 20 weeks. What are they waiting for?!? I’d switch docs. I’d have no faith that this one would be competent if anything, god forbid, should go wrong.

Q: A random sample of 18 women resulted in blood pressure levels with a standard deviation of 23.1 mm Hg?
A random sample of 18 women resulted in blood pressure levels with a standard deviation of 23.1 mm Hg. A random sample of 22men resulted in blood pressure levels with a standard deviation of 21.2 mm Hg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that blood pressure levels for women have a larger variance than those for men.

A: Variance women= varw =23.1^2=533.61

Variance men= varm =21.2^2=449.44

1) Ho: varw > varm

Ha: varw <= varm

2) alpha=0.05 dfn= n2-1=22-1=21 dfd=n1-1=18-1 = 17

Hence from tables Fcritical=2.22 <-approx, interpolation used

3)

Test Statistic: V.R.=Variance Ratio= varm/varw=449.44/533.61=0.842

4) Since V.R

Therefore at a significance level of 5% that data indicates that the variances are statistically the same.

Hope this Helps

A: Diagnosis of hypertension or high blood pressure is generally considered on the basis of a persistently high blood pressure. Usually this observation requires three separate measurements per day for at least one week apart.
If you were diagnosed for high blood pressure then following preventive measures will help you to control your blood pressure.
•The foremost prevention is to reduce salt intake in your daily diet, salt promotes retention of fluids and increases blood pressure.
•Don’t drink soft water; avoid smoked or aged cheeses and meats, chocolates, animal fats, gravies, broths and processed food.
•Avoid caffeine as it can temporarily elevate blood pressure.
Use of below mentioned food is also recommended;
•The incidence of high blood pressure is lower in vegetarians, so eat plenty of oat bran, pectin fruits (such as bananas, apples and melons), vegetables like celery broccoli, cabbage, green leafy vegetables, peas, prunes, beets, carrots and spinach.
•Coldwater fish and lean white meats are also recommended.
•Use olive and flaxseed oil.
•Garlic is very effective in lowering high blood pressure. It decreases cholesterol and triglyceride levels in blood and hence good for blood pressure. Onion can also be as effective as garlic.

I do have FM (fibromyalgia) and take neurontin. I also suffer from back problems and am in morphine for that.

A: Have you traded in your table salt for LiteSalt. The salt substitutes are high in potassium. The rest of your symptoms are attributable to your Fibromyalgia diagnosis.

Q: What are the fatal levels in blood pressure?
I recently had to take a physical and was told I could not eat for at least 6 hours before they did my bloodwork. I ended up missing lunch, and didn’t eat for about 10 hours. When the nurse started my bloodwork, she couldn’t get a vein. I passed out 3 times and when she took my blood pressure when I finally came to, it was 60 over 40.

How close to fatal is that?

A: God is very Gracious and Merciful, He called off the angel of death, so thank HIM, might be HE wants to take good work from you.
Remember to drink milk with a little sugar when going for physical, because the blood sugar level falls down, and a fatal outcome is there. Dates if included are extra supplements.
You have excellent cardiac reserve that’s why you didn’t faint.
Best of Luck wise guy.

Q: question about my blood pressure levels?
hi i am 17 years old male, and my blood pressure is 106/56 and my pulse is 54, can any1 give me analysis on my blood pressure, is it normal??? thankyou in advance

A: Luck you !

Low blood pressure is defined primarily by signs and symptoms of low blood flow not by a specific blood pressure number.

Some individuals may have a blood pressure of 90/50 with no symptoms of low blood pressure and therefore do not have low blood pressure. However, others who normally have high blood pressure may develop symptoms of low blood pressure if their blood pressure drops to 100/60.
