Blood Pressure Health

Product Description
Your heart pumps blood throughout your body using a network of tubing
called arteries and capillaries which return the blood back to your heart via
your veins. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls
of your arteries as your heart beats.

There are two types of high blood pressure, primary hypertension and
secondary hypertension. Primary hypertension accounts for 95% of
hypertension and has several contributing factors. Secondary hypertension
occurs when there is a malfunction in one of the body’s organs or systems.

What sort of health condition would cause high blood pressure and paralysis of everything under the chin?

My wife’s father just had something happen to him. However there’s a language barrier and she’s having a hard time translating what happened to English. Essentially her father woke up this morning unable to move or feel anything below the head. He had not suffered any trauma and went to be like normal. A doctor has seen him, and apparently his blood pressure was off the charts. He was sent home, and he has regained some feeling/movement in his limbs. I’m saying he should go to the hospital, but she keeps saying the doctor said to wait for Monday. I’m really scratching my head as to what might have happened.

What is a good way for me to set a goal for my ideal (realistic) weight or level of health?

I am over weight, I want to lose weight, fat, and inches, and I think set a measurable goal for a healthier lifestyle would make this eaiser. The issue is that I am a big girl, I have substantial thighs (some due to fat, some due to big thigh muscles. Ive always had thick thighs from being a swimmer) I have BIG boobs (38DD) I have broad shoulders, I have hips, big hands big feet (11) I am not big boned, I am an amazon; simply large. I have very good blood pressure and pulse rate (especially for someone at my BMI), and I don’t eat too badly. How should I set a goal that takes into account my large size, I’m over weight, but the BMI calculator says I’m very close to grossly obese, I don’t look like a severely overweight person. I don’t think losing 60lbs is a reasonable goal. I am 5′ 8″ 242 lb.

This is not a question of HOW to lose weight, Ive started a decent exercise regimen, and I’m eating better and less. And I’m not on a diet, I’m just more conscientious of my lifestyle. I have begun to see signifigant results (I was 150 less a month ago)

How should a come up with a goal?
