low blood pressure
Diseases Process
People with long-standing diabetes develop a condition known as hypoglycemia unawareness or hypoglycemia without warning, in which they no longer develop the usual symptoms that herald the onset of hypoglycemia. This condition can be reversed by maintaining higher blood sugar levels for a short period of time (about two weeks) and scrupulously avoiding lowblood sugar.
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. The body uses hormones to keep the blood sugar in a normal range. But a long-term health problem that needs treatment can cause blood sugar to drop too low. It could be caused by: Medicines, Drinking too much alcohol, Diseases that affect the pancreas, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, or other organs, Metabolism problems that run in families.
SN taught patient that learning what affects your blood glucose levels and what to do when they are higher or lower than desired takes practice. Looking for patterns and trends can help you determine what is causing the blood glucose levels to go high or low, and can help you target what might need some adjusting.
Advised hypertensive patients to keep blood pressure under control and alleviate excessive pressure on the vessels, including the site of repair the aortic aneurysm.
Patient has Dx of hypertensive heart disease without heart failure. Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart conditions caused by high blood pressure. The heart working under increased pressure causes some different heart disorders. Hypertensive heart disease can cause thickening of the heart muscle, coronary artery disease, and other conditions such as heart failure if not controlled. Follow your MD's orders for diet and medications closely
Instructed patient that Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart conditions caused by high blood pressure. The heart working under increased pressure causes some different heart disorders. Hypertensive heart disease can lead to complications such as : thickening of the heart muscle, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease and other conditions such as heart failure if not controlled. Follow your MD's orders for Heart Healthy diet, exercise as tolerated and take medications as prescribed.
Instructed patient about the damage that high blood pressure can cause to the vessels walls. Fat and cholesterol collect in the damage spots forming a plaque. Blood cells stick to the plaque, forming a mass called a clot. A clot can block blood flow in the vessel.
SN taught patient on diabetes. To control your blood glucose level, you must have healthy eating habits. A healthy diet has other benefits too. Healthy eating can lead to weight loss. Losing small amounts of weight can often make a big difference in your health. Healthy eating can improve your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
Patient was instructed on how lifestyle and daily routine can affect blood sugar levels. Food is the major culprit in altering the blood sugar level. The blood is at its highest an hour or two after eaten, and then it starts to fall. What eaten, when and how much all affect blood sugar levels.
Patient was instructed on the importance to have a good blood sugar control to avoid future diabetes complications: Monitoring: keep track of the blood sugar every day, Meals: Plan healthy and enjoyable meals to help keep the blood sugar near goal, Moves (exercise): moving the body help lower the blood sugar by burning it for energy, Medicine: when Meals and Move are not enough.
