prehypertension/fatigue

OBJECTIVE To prospectively examine the long-term safety of a cardiovascular health dietary supplement by assessing a comprehensive set of safety measures. METHODS Single-arm, open-label study. METHODS National University of Natural Medicine, Portland, OR. METHODS Thirty adults with screening blood

Physical loading raises the sympathetic nervous activity which results in increased minute volume, constriction of peripheral vessels, and elevated blood pressure. These reactions are an outcome of two mechanisms: 1) the central command from cerebral structures that trigger voluntary movements to

A hypertensive urgency should be distinguished from a hypertensive emergency. Although the distinction may not always be obvious, certain guidelines may help the clinician determine which therapeutic approaches are most appropriate for each patient. Hypertensive emergencies include those conditions

BACKGROUND Hypertension has become a major problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries like Iran. As it is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, even small reductions in the prevalence can have potentially large public health benefits. Among the complementary methods,

A 46-year-old black female with a history of Behçet's Disease was admitted with a diagnosis of abdominal pain. She had complained of palpitations, diaphoresis, anxiety, and fatigue for years which had been variously attributed to the perimenopause and her Behçet's. During her hospital evaluation,

Since the realization that hypertension was a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, methods of lowering elevated blood pressure have been developed. The main goal of antihypertensive treatment is to prevent or to arrest cardiovascular damage. Based on the successes and failures encountered for

BACKGROUND Regular intake of vitamin C/ascorbate reduces blood pressure (BP) in hypertensives. High-dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) achieves higher plasma levels; however, there is a paucity of research on acute BP effects. Our study is the first to investigate the effect of high-dose IVC, with or

Trifluridine/tipiracil has been approved for the treatment of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Adverse effects of this drug combination include leukopenia, neutropenia, fatigue, diarrhea, and vomiting. We present a case of trifluridine/tipiracil-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) with

BACKGROUND Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare tumor of the adrenal medulla and sympathetic ganglion that produces the catecholamines norepinephrine and epinephrine. Traditionally, approximately 10% of PHEOs were thought to be malignant, but recent developments in PHEO research have noted that

UNASSIGNED To evaluate provider responses to a narrowly targeted "Best Practice Advisory" (BPA) alert for the intensification of blood pressure medications for persons with diabetes before and after implementation of a "chart closure" hard stop, which is non-interruptive but demands an action or

Topically applied betamethasone for actinic keratosis may trigger systemic side effects. Systemic side effects of topical betamethasone may completely resolve after discontinuation of the causative agent. A 59-year-old male patient with scalp actinic keratosis developed fatigue and the need to sleep

A number of lifestyle modifications and a variety of highly effective and reasonably safe classes of antihypertensive agents can satisfactorily control elevated blood pressure in most patients. As clinicians evaluated their patients' response to antihypertensive regimens, in addition to measurement

BACKGROUND Mining operations conducted at high altitudes provide health challenges for workers as well as for medical personnel. OBJECTIVE To review the literature regarding adverse health effects and toxic exposures that may be associated with mining operations conducted at altitude and to discuss

This controlled, randomized study investigated the hypothesis that the combined use of pregabalin plus paroxetine for fibromyalgia management would be associated with comparable Somatic Symptoms Scale-8 (SSS-8) and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESDS) scores, but higher

BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a clinically well-defined chronic condition of unknown etiology characterized by chronic widespread pain that often co-exists with sleep disturbances, cognitive dysfunction and fatigue. Patients often report high disability levels and poor quality of life
