Chronic Condition Management
\nin Pembroke Pines, FL<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What is Hypertension?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>Hypertension is the medical distinction for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the measure of the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the rate of the heartbeat and the measure and elasticity of the arterial walls. Blood doesn\u2019t move efficiently through narrow arteries, which causes the heart to pump harder. This requires more power to move the blood so it hits the arteries harder, which causes your blood pressure to rise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

It is considered to be a normal part of the aging process. The walls of the arteries become more elastic over time and blood flow becomes less efficient.<\/p>\n
Secondary hypertension implies there is a known reason or underlying condition. It is a response to a medication or be a side effect of a particular disease. Conditions of secondary hypertension usually include:<\/p>\n
\n- Kidney problems<\/li>\n
- Adrenal tumors<\/li>\n
- Thyroid disease<\/li>\n
- Congenital defects in the heart or arteries<\/li>\n
- Drug or alcohol abuse<\/li>\n
- Obstructive sleep apnea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The initial phase in hypertension treatment will be to determine the root cause for your increased blood pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>What are the treatment options for high blood pressure?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>Your provider may recommend a low-salt diet to minimize your sodium consumption. Individuals over the age of 51 years old should restrict their salt consumption to 1,500 mg\/day.<\/p>\n
Healthy eating and exercise can help managing weight, which is a key component in controlling hypertension. In the event that lifestyle changes are insufficient to control the issue, there are medications like diuretics and beta-blockers that can be prescribed.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>What is diabetes?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>Diabetes is a disease that influences the way the body produces or responds to the hormone insulin. Insulin acts like a key that allows the perfect measure of glucose into every cell. In patients who are diabetic, this procedure doesn\u2019t work correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What are the treatment options for diabetes?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>Your provider will create a tailored approach to your specific health and will include changes to your lifestyle as well as medication.<\/p>\n
\n- Diet management<\/li>\n
- Exercise program<\/li>\n
- Monitor blood sugar<\/li>\n
- Insulin<\/li>\n
- Medication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Diabetes treatment is a balance that is carefully controlled and will take time. It can also change over time so ongoing monitoring is required.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>Different types of diabetes<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>There are three distinct types of diabetes, each with a particular process:<\/p>\n
\n- Type-1:<\/strong> the pancreas produces little or no insulin which is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. The immune system attacks the insulin-delivering cells and devastates them. This type typically develops more often during childhood.<\/li>\n
- Type-2:<\/strong> Type-2 diabetes is an issue with your body that causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to ascend higher than normal. This type of diabetes is most common and typically happens later in life as the cells age and are impervious to insulin, called insulin resistance. The pancreas tries to deliver enough insulin to counteract, so rather than sugar entering the cells for energy, it develops the blood.<\/li>\n
- Gestational:<\/strong> this type of diabetes develops during pregnancy. The placenta delivers a hormone that can make cells impervious to insulin. The condition will resolve itself after the baby is born.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
