Extractions: When a person stands upright, a certain amount of blood normally pools in the veins of the ankles and legs. This pooling means that there is slightly less blood for the heart to pump and causes a drop in blood pressure. Usually, the body responds to this drop so quickly, a person is unaware of the change. The brain tells the blood vessels to constrict so they have less capacity to carry blood, and at the same time tells the heart to beat faster and harder. These responses last for a very brief time. If the body's response to a change in vertical position is slow or absent, the result is orthostatic hypotension. It is not a true disease, but the inability to regulate blood pressure quickly. Causes and symptoms Orthostatic hypotension has many possible causes. The most common cause is medications used to treat other conditions. Diuretics reduce the amount of fluid in the body which reduces the volume of blood. Medicines used to expand the blood vessels increase the vessel's ability to carry blood and so lower blood pressure.

Extractions: The Blood Pressure Center Blood pressure (BP) is a measure of the force, or tension, of the blood against the walls of the arteries. BP is expressed as systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. High blood pressure (hypertension) stresses the heart and can contribute to coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. Low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness and fainting (syncope). Normal BP for adults is considered to be in the range of 120/80 millimeters of mercury. Generally, a BP reading above 140/90 is considered to be high for adults, and reading under 90/60 is considered to be low for adults. Hypertension has been associated with a variety of significant health risks, including an increased risk of heart disease and aneurysm. The condition is especially deadly among African-Americans , who tend to be diagnosed at younger ages and with higher BP than other ethnic groups. Women are also encouraged to discuss with their physician the increased risk of hypertension that results from taking birth control pills. Currently, an estimated 10 to 15 percent of school-age children have hypertension.

Extractions: Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension) Low blood pressure (hypotension) is the medical term for a blood pressure (BP) of less than 90/60. Some chronic forms cause symptoms and require diagnosis and treatment (e.g., orthostatic hypotension, neurally mediated hypotension, postural hypotension and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension). Usually, borderline-low or slightly low BP readings show no symptoms and require no treatment. Low BP can be a sign of good health in some people with no symptoms (e.g., athletes), indicating that their hearts, lungs and blood vessels are well conditioned and in good working order. On the other hand, low BP may also be a warning signal, especially to the elderly, that something is wrong with their health or health care treatment. Hypotension in the elderly can cause neurological and heart-related problems. Low blood pressure symptoms may include dizziness or lightheadedness; blurry vision; lack of concentration; nausea or upset stomach; muscle weakness; fainting (syncope); rapid, weak pulse; cold, clammy skin; rapid, shallow breathing; fatigue; and/or headache. Causes of hypotension are not always clear. It may be associated with one or more of the following: Dilated (wide) blood vessels; weakened heart contraction; obstructed blood flow (e.g., due to defective heart valves); overdosage of

Extractions: The pressure of the blood in the arteries rises and falls as the heart and muscles handle demands of daily living, such as exercise, sleep and stress. Some healthy people have blood pressure well below the average for their age, even though they have a completely normal heart and blood vessels. This is often true of athletes who are in superior shape. The term "hypotension" is usually used only when blood pressure has fallen so far that enough blood can no longer reach the brain, causing dizziness and fainting. Causes and symptoms Postural hypotension is the most common type of low blood pressure. In this condition, symptoms appear after a person sits up or stands quickly. In normal people, the cardiovascular system must make a quick adjustment to raise blood pressure slightly to account for the change in position. For those with postural hypotension, the blood pressure adjustment is not adequate or it doesn't happen. Postural hypotension may occur if someone is taking certain drugs or medicine for high blood pressure. It also happens to diabetics when nerve damage has disrupted the reflexes that control blood pressure. Many people have a chronic problem with low blood pressure that is not particularly serious. This may include people who require certain medications, who are pregnant, have bad veins, or have arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Extractions: Neurally Mediated Hypotension Neurally mediated hypotension occurs when there is an abnormal reflex interaction between a persons heart and their brain and the person has no defects in their heart or brain. Neurally mediated hypotension is also known by the following names: the fainting reflex, neurocardiogenic syncope, vasodepressor syncope, the vaso-vagal reflex, and autonomic dysfunction. Hypotension is the normal medical term used for low blood pressure, and syncope means fainting . All people are vulnerable to the reflex that result in a lowered blood pressure, and each person's vulnerability is affected by these factors: allergies , diet, genetic make-up, infections, and even psychological issues. Neurally mediated hypotension symptoms include: low blood pressure, fainting , fast heart beats, light-headedness, nausea, tired and weak. Nutrient / Supplement Importance

Extractions: Blood pressure is normally above 90/60 mm Hg. In general, the lower your blood pressure the better - as long as you feel well. Causes of sudden onset of hypotension include blood loss, allergic reactions, dehydration and poor tone in peripheral blood vessels. Treatment is usually directed towards correcting the underlying cause.

NEURALLY MEDIATED hypotension (NMH). WHAT IS NEURALLY MEDIATED hypotension(NMH)? HOW IS NEURALLY MEDIATED hypotension DIAGNOSED?
http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/4225/neurally.html

Extractions: WHAT IS NEURALLY MEDIATED HYPOTENSION (NMH)? Neurally Mediated Hypotension is a condition or syndrome where the body's regulation of blood pressure is found to be difficult, especially when standing upright. The reason why this condition occurs is unknown. Blood pressure and heart rate are effected. In this condition the blood pressure will suddenly drop causing dizziness, weakness, sweating, or lightheadedness. Most sufferers feel the sensation that they may faint. Some actually do faint. Recently, studies have reveiled that some people suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or Fibromyalgia also have Neurally Mediated Hypotension. However, people with CFS or FMS are not the only people to suffer with Neurally Mediated Hypotension. WHAT ABOUT TREATMENTS? Many patients can get relief from the symptoms, but treatment isn't always effective. Treatments are tailored for each patient because there is as of yet, no standard treatment. Currently, medication that prevents the heartbeat from slowing when it should be speeding up is used. Also, medication to boost the blood pressure combined with a change in diet to include more sodium has seemed to help some people. Patients diagnosed with CFS and NMH need to be particularly careful when beginning a new drug therapy because of demonstrated hypersensitivity to some medications.
