Health Quadrant

Hi and welcome to the HealthQuadrant.com blog!

I’ll be posting many useful tips, ideas and suggestions related to the four disease areas we cover — high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and asthma.

Much of the initial posts will be about high blood pressure, but the others will follow soon. This blog is meant to supplement the content found on the main site and to provide updates. Writing for a blog means you are much less constrained than when creating web pages! Hmmm…maybe this whole site should be just a blog…but then there are some reasons why it is useful to have a regular site as well.

If you came directly to this blog, you can access the HealthQuadrant.com main page at the previous link.

Anyway, onto some basic facts on blood pressure.

Blood pressure can be caused by many different factors. Everything from whether you have just finished heavy exercise, to your emotional state, your level of fitness, how full you are at the moment, your breathing patterns (or difficulties you face in breathing), etc can have a direct and immediate impact on your blood pressure.

Smoking and alcohol consumption also have an affect on it.

Add to that a long list of medical conditions like headaches, bladder problems and more - all can contribute to changing your blood pressure levels.

As you can see, it may not be that easy to isolate the factors that cause high blood pressure. That is why close attention from a well-trained medical professional is indispensable.

More in the next post — stay tuned!
