#blood pressure measurements

[omronhealthcarenz]

When measuring blood pressure, the accuracy of the reading can vary based on which arm is used. Here’s a detailed overview to help you determine which arm is most accurate for your blood pressure measurements

sidenote on the recent medical care, I do think that taking blood pressure is one of the most darkly amusing parts of the whole process.

“Good morning, sick person humbly approaching what is considered one of the most broken and expensive systems in the United States of America! I understand you just stepped off a scale (gosh, I hope you’re not one of those people who has a complicated relationship with their body!) then lied to me about how often you exercise and how many drinks you have per week. Now I want you to perch inelegantly at the end of this slightly-too-tall table and try not to crinkle the butcher paper underneath you (you’re still thinking about the number on the scale, aren’t you?) as I administer THE STRESS TEST. Take some deep breaths and be zen, because this is a test and it has mostly wrong answers.”

“....hm, yes, that is one of the wrong answers.”

Hey y'all! Do you have any advice on the rings that track your heart rate? Is it worth it, are they accurate, any specific recs?

To date (as of 2022),  49 cases of feline PHA (Primary Hyperaldosteronism) have been reported, and it may be the most common adrenocortical disorder in this species.

I don't know if she's #50. Her vet said that there have only been 4 diagnosed in the past 6 years, but I'm guessing she meant in general. I initially thought she meant just GA.

For some reason I just remembered to when we were learning about the human heart in biology class in high school and the teacher told us to take our pulse...

And now imagine a cardiophile, fucking stressing hours before the lesson because they know the topic will be hearts and it'll be fucking cool and fucking embarassing at the same time, and then they try to like, act cool, normal, everything's fine, chill, etc. etc. so from outside everything's fine, but inside...

I was sitting there, frozen, wanting to just disappear as soon as possible because no way I was gonna take my pulse. Never in front of others. When I saw everybody was doing it, I pretended like I was also doing it but in my lap so because of the desk in front of me the teacher couldn't see that I wasn't actually doing it.

Instead, I was just... Praying for the time to pass faster and when the teacher asked the BPM I just faked a number that was probably about half of the actual number. 😂

It was so fucking embarassing. Oh my God.

And this is just one story. There was also a lesson when the teacher brough a blood pressure cuff and a cheap-ass (sorry 😂) stethoscope and asked who wants to try how to measure blood pressure...

Wait wait wait. I realized something. So I took BP with the manual thing and you have to listen to a pulse as it slowly goes down and the first pulse you hear you right down the number which is the top number and the last pulse you hear is the bottom number right?

How on EARTH did that nurse get a small number above a bigger number???

Girl, I don’t freaking know. My partner and I were just 👀 at each other wondering how the heck this was a nurse

Some days the hardest part of my job is convincing other people that they actually need to do their job. No you are not doing me a favour and I'm not asking for a favour either, I'm telling you to do your goddamn job.

I had an Isaac run where it was so stressful my heartrate was at a 145bpm and it persisted for 6 hours. After that, like every day that followed, my heart would just suddenly shoot up to 120-140bpm for an hour if I so much as thought about something I've been stressing over recently. Everybody encouraging me to go to the ER. And I'm just like "Oh please I've actually always been like this, I'm fine." Had to chop down my Adderall dosage. But I swear I've felt like this since high school, but I guess the medicine enhances the feeling and that feeling was ANXIETY.

So, suffice to say, playing The Binding of Isaac™️ almost gave me a heart attack.

A thorough health checkup goes beyond cardiovascular assessments, offering a holistic perspective on overall well-being.

1. Blood Pressure Assessment: The dynamic evaluation of blood pressure serves as a measure of the heart's resilience and circulatory efficiency, resembling a conductor guiding the tempo of a symphony to ensure perfect harmony.

2. Cholesterol Levels: A nuanced examination of cholesterol explores the delicate balance between "good" and "bad" cholesterol, impacting cardiovascular harmony like the intricate interplay of musical notes contributing to a composition's overall harmony.

3. Blood Sugar Levels: A careful exploration of the sugar ballet reveals the interplay between diabetes and heightened cardiovascular risks, resembling a subtle modulation in a musical piece where balance is crucial for a harmonious outcome.

4. Body Mass Index (BMI) Assessment: The weighty discussion about BMI sheds light on obesity's profound impact on heart function and overall health, akin to the resonance of a bass note in a symphony shaping the foundation of the entire performance.

5. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): The rhythmic pulse of routine ECG monitoring acts as a vigilant guard against heart irregularities, similar to a conductor maintaining tempo in a musical performance to ensure the heart's rhythm remains unwavering.

6. Imaging Tests: The visual narrative created by advanced imaging techniques provides a comprehensive canvas for health assessment, similar to visual elements enhancing storytelling in a musical composition, enriching the overall experience.

7. Routine Blood Tests: The symphony of routine blood screenings harmonizes diverse health indicators into a comprehensive health melody, mirroring the harmonious blend of instruments in an orchestral arrangement, each playing a unique role in overall harmony.

You can choose from the full body checkups at H N Reliance Hospital Mumbai, which is one of the best hospitals in the country, to assess your general health and well-being.

Is there any reason to be concerned if I’m chronically tachycardic, but everything else is aggressively normal?

Details:

- I’m on an ADHD medication. I expected this to cause my high heart rate. Initial hypothesis: 100+ bpm is caused by my Vyvanse

- Results: On Vyvanse, at a clinic, my lowest resting BPM was 125. Off Vyvanse for a week, at same clinic, my lowest resting BPM was 116. That number was also after sitting still for ten minutes listening to calm music with noise cancelling headphones.

- Conclusion: The ADHD med, while contributing, does not solely explain the tachycardia

- Further data: every physical I’ve had since high school lists my heart rate as over 110BPM. At said physicals, my blood pressure is always normal (close to 120/80), and no significant results show up from blood tests. Everything they measure is in normal range, except my heart rate is constantly hovering between 110 and 130.

- I was able to get my heart rate below 100 by laying still for several hours doing nothing, after waking up from being asleep for a full night. It was at 93BPM.

- Possibly relevant information: I’m diagnosed with autism, which means sensory stimuli are often disproportionately stressful, and I’m actively receiving EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety symptoms. This could be a psych/physiological thing.

You think if I go to ER after work and ask to give me something for anxiety instead of sleep (which I kinda already tried when the last time they decided to call me an ambulance just to be completely unhelpful) I have a chance of receiving any kind of medical intervention in what appears to be another long strike? I don't believe it, but maybe I should try anyway

I love when I check my heart rate four times in about five minutes and it jumps from 40bpm to 132bpm to 74bpm to 45bpm like what is my heart doing and why?
