Blood pressure is the force of blood as it moves through the blood vessels. If blood cannot flow easily through the vessels, the force increases. If the force is too great, high blood pressure results. High blood pressure is a serious disease. It increases the workload of the heart and blood vessels and can lead to heart disease, stroke, or kidney problems. High blood pressure usually has no apparent symptoms. It doesn't hurt, and it usually doesn't make a person feel sick or dizzy or nervous. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly by a health care professional. Mountain View Hospital volunteers take free blood pressure in the lobby from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Blood pressures can also be taken free of charge in the Emergency Room at any a time by the E.R. nurse. Having your blood pressure measured is quick and painless. In more than 90 percent of the cases, no one knows what caused high blood pressure. However, some people are at greater risk than others for developing the disease. Older persons are more likely to have high blood pressure than are younger persons. People with a family history of high blood pressure are more likely to develop the disease than are those with no high blood pressure in their family. Blacks are more likely to have high blood pressure and develop the disease earlier in life than are whites. High blood pressure cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Common treatments for high blood pressure include: Taking prescribed medication. Follow instructions exactly. Don't skip dosages or stop taking medication without a doctor's advice. ad-vice. Controlling weight. Lose any extra pounds by cutting back on calories and getting regular exercise. exer-cise. Reducing salt (sodium) intake. Avoid foods with high sodium content. Use less salt in cooking and at the table. Use more herbs instead of salt for flavor. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Moderating alcohol intake. Follow doctor's guidelines for limiting alcohol intake. Increasing exercise. Get regular, vigorous exercise such as brisk walking, swimming, or jogging. It is estimated that one in every four American adults has high blood pressure. It is estimated that many more have the disease but are unaware of their illness. Be sure you know the score. Have your blood pressure checked regularly. Be aware of the risks of high blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, follow the treatment your doctor has prescribed, and be a champion of control. One way of detecting high blood pressure is through a thorough physical examination by your personal physician. A yearly physical exam is good solid advice.

Nose sprays can be addictive Persons with stuffed noses who use an over-the-counter decongestant spray or drops for more than a few days run the rusk of becoming dependent on the medication, says Dr. Abba Terr, director of Stanford Medical Center's Cen-ter's allergy clinic. Terr explains that decongestants constrict the blood vessels in the nose, where they also stop fluid production or running. But the medication only works for a few hours, then the vessels swell up again. Eventually, long after the cold or flu has ended, the vessels won't contract to normal size without use of the drops or spray. This is called a rebound effect. People find that when they stop using the medication, the swelling makes them feel uncomfortably congested. So what does Terr advise? ad-vise? "Try and quit cold turkey. You may feel uncomfortable for a day or so, but after that, you should once again breathe normally." Although the approach should work for most people, Terr says that persons apprehensive about quitting should see their doctor for some help, including in-cluding prescription medications to ease the transition. What should patients do if they have a congested nose? The drops and spray are fine if the user makes sure to stop using them within three days. Otherwise, decongestant tablets may offer some relief, and unlike the sprays or drops, don't have a rebound effect. Other sprays without decongestant may also be a good bet, and physicians can provide prescription medication offering relief without the rebound effect. Jerusalem artichokes offer large amounts of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, iron, chlorine and magnesium.
