Pulmonary hypertension is a form of high blood pressure that affects the pulmonary arteries that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs. Beware of these symptoms of pulmonary hypertension because it can ultimately lead to heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension occurs when the arteries that carry blood from the heart to your lungs, called pulmonary arteries, are blocked, narrowed, or destroyed. Because of this, it is harder for the blood to flow through your lungs, which increases the pressure in these arteries. When there is a constriction in the arteries, your heart has to work harder in order to compensate. This eventually leads to weakened heart muscles that ultimately stop, resulting in heart failure. It takes several months or even years for the narrowing in the arteries to be severe enough for the pressure to build up. This is the reason why it may take years for you to notice the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is an illness that becomes worse over a period of time, and can sometimes also be fatal. There is no cure for this serious disorder, but the treatment options available help reduce the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension, thereby improving the quality of your life. It is often difficult to diagnose pulmonary hypertension in its early stages because it cannot be detected in a regular physical exam. In its advanced stage, the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension are very similar to the symptoms of other lung and heart conditions. Some examples of the tests used to diagnose this form of hypertension are Doppler echocardiogram, chest X-ray, blood tests, and pulmonary function test. Once the diagnosis is done, the treatment plans require regular follow-up with your doctor. The doctor may even need to change your treatment method if it is not effective any longer. Some of the standard pulmonary hypertension medications include vasodilators, anticoagulants, diuretics, and high-dose calcium channel blockers.

Enlarged prostate is a condition medically termed as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) that causes difficulties in urination among men. Apart from medical help and diagnosis, it’s imperative to learn how to use a few simple remedies for natural treatment of enlarged prostate Prostate is a muscular gland that produces semen, and is responsible for carrying sperms out of the system during ejaculation. The prostate gland is placed below the urethra and behind the bladder in the male reproductive system. Enlargement of the prostate gradually occurs with age, especially after the age of 40 to 50 years, and is often associated with hormonal changes that occur during this time. However in some cases, this condition may also prevail at a younger age. Enlargement of the prostate gland can cause pressure on the urinary tract causing it to narrow, and resulting in many difficulties during urination such as increased frequency of urination especially in the night, lack of sleep, feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, dribbling urine, strained urination, abdominal pain and sometimes even blood in the urine. There are other urinary tract infections that patients already suffering from enlarged prostate can become susceptible to. Treatment of an enlarged prostate involves prescribed medication after diagnosis, such as terazosin (a drug that helps in the relaxation of the prostate muscles), as well as antibiotics which are recommended for men experiencing chronic prostatitis, and sometimes even surgery to remove the excess tissue of the enlarged prostate. One can also opt for natural remedies that could help the patient without having to pay several visits to the doctor. The following are a few simple ways that help in the natural treatment of enlarged prostate. Pelvic Strengthening Exercises By doing certain pelvic strengthening exercises (also known as Kegel exercises) patients can seek relief from pain in the abdomen due to the enlarged prostate.

People tend to develop black holes and spots under the eyes after a certain age. This happens as the fat which is present as a support to the eye moves to the lower eyelid.

You may increase the intake of fresh vegetables like celery, which will, over a period help in curbing the desire for consumption of salt. Correct sleep posture If you sleep on the back, it will prevent the gravitational forces from letting the fluid building up around the eye region. An extra pillow can also be put under the head. If the sleep posture is correct, it will definitely help to remove bags under the eyes, if these have already formed. Remove the makeup Irritation in the eye area can also persist in case the makeup is not removed.
