low blood pressure
Diseases Process
Taught that lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems.
Instructed on some measures aimed to controlling hypertension (high blood pressure), such as: decrease cholesterol intake to avoid atherosclerosis, among others.
Instructed on some potential complications of constipation, such as: valsalva maneuver (may be caused by straining, causing a slowed pulse, decreased blood return and increased venous pressure).
Instructed on some factors that may increase the risk of developing/exacerbating Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), such as: cigarette smoking and elevated blood pressure, among others.
Instructed on some measures aimed to controlling/managing Angina Pectoris, such as: have blood pressure monitored closely and achieve/maintain ideal weight, among others.
Taught that high blood pressure may constitute as a precipitating factor of Angina Pectoris.
Taught that, in Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), the decrease in the amount of blood pumped with each heart contraction causes an increase in circulatory pressure.
Instructed on some signs/symptoms of activity intolerance in response to physical activity, such as: excessive increase/decrease in blood pressure.
Instructed on some potential complications of hypertension, such as: hypertensive crisis (sharp rise in blood pressure to greater than 200/120, severe headache, vomiting), among others.
Instructed on some signs/symptoms of hypertension (high blood pressure), such as: dizziness, headaches and palpitations, among others.
