Why blood pressure bounces up and down
A recent test revealed my blood
pressure to be quite low.
I have been taking tablets for high blood
pressure for some time and thought this lower level was an improvement.
However, I am shortly to have further checks and it seems that this
situation is not as healthy as I thought.
Why are my levels fluctuating, and which is worse — too high or too low?
George Giles, Clevedon, Somerset.
A healthy blood pressure is around 120/80, and experts agree that a blood pressure above 140/90 is bad for health
You sound somewhat dispirited by what has happened, yet I believe that it is good, rather than bad, news.
It appears the combination of the two tablets you have been taking is too powerful and what is needed is a reduction in treatment.
However, before I explain your options, let me give you some background about your condition.
When your blood pressure is tested, the reading produces two numbers (in your case, 102/65).
The first number represents the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart contracts (it's the contraction that produces your heartbeat).
Each contraction sends out around a
teacupful of blood; the pressure forces it to move along the blood
At this point your blood pressure is at its highest, known as systolic pressure.
When the heart relaxes and is refilling, preparing for the next contraction, the pressure drops back. This lower reading is your diastolic pressure.
A healthy blood pressure is around
120/80, and experts agree that a blood pressure above 140/90 is bad for
This is called hypertension, and can damage the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney disease (due to the delicate vessels in the organ becoming damaged).
High blood pressure is the net effect of a number of factors including your genetic make-up, weight, levels of physical fitness, salt intake, and even mood (prolonged periods of stress are thought to trigger it).

You tell me you are taking 5mg of lisinopril and 2.5mg of bendroflumethiazide. These work by widening the blood vessels and reducing the total volume of liquid in the blood stream, which both act to lower blood pressure.
But while levels below the recommended
cut-off point of 140/90 are associated with better future health, your
level — 102/65 — may be considered too low, particularly if you are in
an older age group.
That's because this group seems more prone to dizziness (due to a lack of oxygen reaching the brain), which can result in falls.
This does not present problems for everyone, and if you are thriving, then well and good.
But some people will feel faint and weak at this low level.
If this is the case, the treatment needs to be reduced, followed by a period of regular monitoring should blood pressure become too high again.
Most of us in medical practice struggle to get our patients onto treatment that is consistently effective, and it often needs two or three medicines to achieve it.
Evidently the combination of your two drugs is proving too powerful; perhaps your GP could try you on lisinopril alone, or even at 2.5mg daily rather than 5mg, though that remains the decision of your doctor.
Judging from the tests and attention your GP surgery is giving you, I believe you are in a good position, and in very good hands.
Following months of severe pain in my neck and arm, an MRI scan showed that one of the discs in my neck had 'slipped' and another was damaged.
I was prescribed a course of painkillers to allow the disc to settle but since stopping these four weeks ago the pain has escalated again.
My GP and neurosurgeon have said the ultimate solution would be to replace the disc with an artificial one — but I really want to avoid that.
Many people have recommended visiting a chiropractor or osteopath.
Although I am unsure about this, I am desperate for a solution and would value your opinion.
Lorraine Mulligan, by email.
There is not one of us who does not experience neck problems at some stage in middle age — indeed it is one of the most common complaints presented to GPs.
Accordingly, there is a dizzying array of professionals who claim they can ease your pain, including osteopaths, Alexander technique teachers, McTimoney therapists, practitioners of the Bowen technique, and acupuncturists — a whole gamut of confusing possibilities.
As you have become aware, friends, relatives, and others all have their suggestions and know someone who knows someone who was swiftly eased by a brilliant intervention — but it never seems to work for you or me, and there is always the worry about safety.
You have been carefully investigated and the MRI scan has identified the problem: one of the shock-absorbing discs between the bones of the spine, at the base of the neck, has split.
Its soft core is now bulging out and pressing on the nerve that runs from the spinal cord to the forearm and hand, triggering severe pain.
A second disc in your neck is also showing signs of damage.
To contact Dr Scurr with a health query, write to him at Good Health Daily Mail, 2 Derry Street, London W8 5TT or email firstname.lastname@example.com — including contact details.
Dr Scurr cannot enter into personal correspondence.
His replies cannot apply to individual cases and should be taken in a general context.
Always consult your own GP with any health worries.
Your doctor's first approach has been to prescribe gabapentin, a drug which is effective for nerve derived pain.
Although the medication does nothing to directly help the healing of a degenerating or ruptured disc, it does reduce muscle spasm, which can buy some time for the body's natural healing processes to do their work.
Healing will also be helped by regular exercises taught by a physiotherapist. But any type of neck manipulation is completely out of the question — so definitely no visit to an osteopath or chiropractor.
Manipulation will only traumatise the damaged disc further, and maybe even cause the already bulging disc to rupture — so beware.
A further period of waiting, aided by gabapentin to help deal with pain, may be called for — even for months rather than weeks.
However, if there is a sign of the muscle wastage in the hand on that side — for instance, an obvious loss of muscle bulk, or weakness — on top of persistent pain, you may need to consult the neurosurgeon again.
This muscle loss implies an even greater degree of nerve pinching, to an extent that the muscles are no longer receiving signals and are wasting away.
If this is the case, then surgery to relieve the pressure on the root may be required — and disc replacement might be necessary.
I wish you the best of luck.
By the way...
If I was a woman, I'd choose this contraception
As I become more senior in my years, I find the patients I mainly care for are also in an older age group.
No longer the young mothers and toddlers with whom I was inundated when I, too, had a young family.
And so I find myself thinking about the problems peculiar to their age.
It feels as if the Pill is not the easy and happy option it once was, even though it can be safe and trouble-free right up to the menopause
One of those is contraception: at a recent medical meeting I found myself sitting next to a GP who, at 34, has completed her family — three children — yet, as she pointed out, has certainly ten, if not 20, reproductive years ahead of her. What to do?
More and more of the women I see are averse to taking hormones: it feels as if the Pill is not the easy and happy option it once was, even though it can be safe and trouble-free right up to the menopause.
Women who have that all-too-common problem of unreliable and haphazard menstrual bleeding in their 40s are now frequently offered the Mirena coil, which deals with two problems at the same time.
It is a brilliant solution that stops any bleeding from the womb by making the lining stable, and it also provides contraception.
But it is not perfect for every woman: tiny amounts of progesterone hormone are leached into the system and some individuals respond badly to this with weight gain, breast tenderness or haphazard bleeding.
Sterilisation is an obvious alternative, but there is, somehow, a natural reluctance that deters many.
It involves invasive surgery for men and women, with local anaesthesia for vasectomy in the men and general anaesthesia for women.
Neither procedure is risk-free and both require time, trouble and a measure of courage — on top of having to deal with a sense of finality.
But a new option for women is Essure, a non-surgical sterilisation procedure.
The tiny device, smaller than a matchstick, is put in the uterus at the entry point of the fallopian tubes, which carry eggs down from the ovaries.
The procedure is painless, and the device remains there for ever, causing no sensation.
Over the next three months, there is a local scarring response that blocks the tubes, ensuring infertility.
The technique has been proven in more than 500,000 women over ten years, it is the most effective contraception known, and there are no side-effects or problems.
This is a significant advance in the healthcare of women.

Help Us Identify This Civil War Photo
We need your help identifying the location of this photo! Taken during the Civil War, it was a 1911 gift from Edmund A. Whitman to the Society. The photograph accompanied the materials of his father, Col. Edmund Burke Whitman, a Harvard graduate and army quartermaster in the Civil War. Col. Whitman played a key role in the creation of the cemetery system for the Civil War dead, which was constructed after the war. During the war his career took him many places in the North and South, so it does not narrow the possibilities of this photograph's location.
View a larger scan of the image here. It depicts what appear to be four African American soldiers with a cannon, probably a rifled Rodman breech-loading siege gun, a large cannon designed to knock down enemy fortifications. These Rodman guns were used by both the North and South. Since the Rodman gun fired cylindrical shells that looked like enormous modern-day bullets, the round cannon balls depicted were not used for that gun and may indicate that the emplacement had been in use before the arrival of these soldiers.
The fortification in the photograph appears old, and the grass growing over it indicates it was not very well maintained. Churches and other large buildings and a wide, bending river are visible in the background. It is likely that some of the buildings in this photograph still stand and the modern-day view from the same vantage point is somewhat similar.
The soldiers could have been members of one of several U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery Regiments from the Civil War, designated with the numbers 1 and 3-14. They were raised in 1864, although some existed as state units prior to being called into federal service and re-numbered. Some remained in service, occupying the South after the end of the war. If the soldiers were part of these regiments, it would narrow the possibilities of the photo's location because they often were assigned to border garrisons away from the fighting or to areas of the South occupied by the Union. However, the soldiers depicted in the photograph would not have needed to be members of a heavy artillery battery in order to man a siege gun, and there were African American artillery men not assigned to heavy artillery regiments.
Please help us solve this longstanding mystery! If you think you recognize the location of this photograph or have other related information, please share it in the comments below.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 17 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LinDe Fantastic value Only had my table for 2+ weeks but love it. It's very substantial and arrived in perfect condition. My husband said it was very easy to assemble, the parts fit perfectly together, and he was very impressed with the quality. October 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sperki12 Great table at a great price Bought this table when it was on sale and it was delivered promptly, simple to put together and looks great. April 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Judyslotown We bought the mahogany color and love the color. We just received our table and it didn't take my husband very long to put it together. He is very impressed with the quality and the way it was packaged. We are glad we bought it as we looked at many tables, sets, etc. and this is by the far the prettiest. March 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by canadiangrl005 Amazing table I absolutely love this table, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The wood is super solid and as a whole, the table looks like it could have cost me three times more than I actually paid. It's stunning. There are grooves on the top which do collect crumbs but as long as you keep up with cleaning there is no issue for me. I also used a can of compressed air to clean any stubborn crumbs. Great quality product at a great price! February 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by pinkglamxoxo Very good table This was the easiest table to put together. All you need to do is attach the legs and the center bar. Im very happy with it. It is a heavy table and very sturdy. It looks great! many compliments on it. September 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelli Beautiful table I had been wanting this table for quite awhile now and finally bought it. I'm so happy with it! It's beautiful, I absolutely love it! It is very solid and sturdy and looks much more expensive than the price. It looks a little rustic but also very rich & modern. It was very easy to assemble by myself (small female) however I needed a 2nd person to tilt it upright after assembly because it is very heavy. It's big and can seat a lot of people plus even more when easily extended. It does have ridges, like some other reviewers have mentioned, but I don't find it a problem at all. I will use the brush nozzle on my vacuum if I need to. Overall I'm extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend it. May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bvieees Sturdy and stylish Assembly was a breeze. Table is very heavy, so it does take two people. Extension works great. Good value. May 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1010 attractive & functional This is definitely a 2 person task to assemble. The black Verona table is attractive and I love that the leaf is built in and easily accessible. Crumbs do get caught in the grooves, and I plan to polyurethane the top to prevent that problem. I bought mine on sale and it was worth the price. October 13, 2013

I would describe this scent as woody-minty-spicy. With lots of woods (cedar and sandalwood)Although mint is not listed; it is somehow a little astringent (menthol? eucalypthus?). I do not smell any flowers.If you like woody perfumes, you might give it a try. I think it's OK but not a must have at least for me.

WebRTC services have already permeated corporate communications in the form of videoconferencing solutions.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Re: 16-bit vs. 8-bit TFF for Aperture plugins/export in response to Brian Cohen Helpful16 bit holds a LOT more information. Not just twice as much: it's exponential.
8 bit = 256 levels per channel
9 bit = 512 levels per channel
So 16 bit = 16,384 levels per channel.
Wether or not it's always discernible, I'm not sure, but you will lose some "headroom".
I like to keep all that info, and Hard drives are pretty cheap these days so I bite the bullet.

Every year, it seems, the guardians of consensus wheel out a new scapegoat to blame for the lengthening economic crisis. The most recent candidate is the tax-dodging population of southern Europe. Not the banking and corporate elites, of course, whose shady income accounting seems to be beyond reproach, let alone prosecution. No, in this case, we are soberly instructed that the actual culprits are the less fortunate strivers who operate in the vast shadow economies in the region known as PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain). Since these Eurozone governments are unable to collect revenue from all this off-the-books economic activity, the reasoning goes, they have been forced to spend well beyond their means to stay afloat.

Smith vs. Le rematch scheduled for Strikeforce

This is very true. Cung's isn't "conventional" with his Sanshou approach, and we ALL know how well people receive unconventional fighters (Machida, anyone?). This will be a true test to see if Cung really is a fighter at heart. He's never lost a match before in either career and with this being his first at his current age, I'm curious to see how he bounces back. I hope that he does.
6/3/10 10:15 AM by Timtek
Damn. I can't believe all the hatorade in here. I think Cung is one of the most exciting strikers in MMA, all organizations. If he puts time in the gym instead of films he'd be top 5 at 185. I think that's common knowledge and I'm hoping that's the plan.

I wish it was possible (or acceptable) to leave a blank post, because words cannot express how awesome this is.
I wonder if they can get Re as well since apparently no other licensor thinks it's worth a shot. Which is ridiculous.
Flash would be awesome as well since I haven't been able to find completed fansubs for it.

I was wondering if the original would ever get a release here(digital or physical) after remembering the live & "new" versions ADV & Bandai released here.
Glad to see that it's finally going to get a legit release here.

Unless if Discotek starts a partnership with Voyager Entertainment, I doubt that will ever happen. Tim Eldred once mentioned that Voyager has been trying to gets the rights for years.

Voyager confirmed on Facebook afew weeks ago that Star Blazers and Space Battleship Yamato were treated as completely seperate licenses, so if another company wanted to pick up just the Japanese version they would probably be able to. However, I doubt Discotek (or anyone else) even realizes this.

I'm curious as to what they'll grab once the obvious big titles are grabbed up. It's hard to get bigger than Mazinger or Cutey Honey when you're talking early 70s.

|Discotek, my man, is there any other way you could make me even happier? Actually, let me tell you what would. License rescue Dancouga and its OVAs, I'll just give you my bank account number. Sounds fair, don't you think? I am actually looking forward to hearing from Discotek now instead of the blitz of new licenses Sentai has been dropping, since Discotek is actually releasing stuff I want. Keep up the good work people. (And when is Shin vs. Neo coming out? I MUST KNOW.)

Despite being an older show from the 1970s, unfortunately, it does contain nudity (I'm told it was one of the earliest TV anime series in Japan to be made that way), so I'm afraid I won't be picking this up. Just saying. OTOH, I'm also told that Cutey Honey Flash (which replaced the Sailor Moon anime in its timeslot) is a considerably toned down interpretation of the character (and one in which Honey is human), so if Discotek got that, I might pick that up.
Needless to say however, this is the show's first U.S. release of any kind. I wonder what else will be picked up?...

At Nationals Park, the future overshadows the present
By Thomas Boswell,
The Nationals are a franchise caught between its present and its future. That scene was on perfect display on Wednesday at a chilly, drizzling NatsFest day when a few thousand fans, who can truly be anointed "hard core," showed up at Nationals Park to chat or take photos with their team.
Normally, this would be the day you might want to ask Michael Morse if he thinks he'll hit 30 homers now that, at 29, he'll finally get a chance to bat 500 times in a season.
"If I stay healthy, the sky is the limit for what I can do this year," said the 6-foot-5, 237-pound slugger after hitting nine spring training homers to win the left field job on top of his 15 homers in part-time play last year. "If you feel confident in your abilities, what can stop you? I know what I'm capable of now at this point in my career. Why should I be worried or scared? It's better to bloom sometime than never to bloom at all."
Or you could size up Danny Espinosa and wonder if he's a possible rookie of the year candidate at second base. Or you could shake Wilson Ramos's enormous hand and think, "Now I understand why he's the catcher of the future." On a normal team, you'd listen attentively to Manager Jim Riggleman, who's seldom effusive, when he mentions the pair of them.
"With his arm and range and hands, Espinosa's defense will probably keep him in the major leagues even if he struggles with the bat at first," Riggleman said of the rookie second baseman who had 28 homers and 25 steals between the minor leagues and Washington last year. "But if he doesn't struggle," said Riggleman, "well, he's going to be an all-star.
"But Ramos, he could really be special" added Riggleman, a former catcher himself. What, didn't you just say Espinosa might develop into an all-star someday? Now it's Ramos who's found your skate key?
"He's got power, soft hands, good arm," said Riggleman.
"Cannon arm," said seven-time Gold Glove catcher Bob Boone.
"There's a quality about him — he is one irritated guy when we give up runs," says Riggleman. "Madder than a hornet. You want that in a catcher."
But the current Nationals are not quite a normal team. So you're almost not permitted to look at the obviously important issue surrounding the '11 team, like the possibility that Morse, Espinosa or Ramos could become good or even very good players. You can't escape from the pair — Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper — that has done very little or nothing so far, but might be great someday. Or not.
It's nobody's fault. It's just the way it is. But their presence tends to dilute the present just a bit, while giving the future a glow of expectation that may be hard to justify. The Nats, you see, didn't just introduce their current team to the fans on Wednesday. They also brought along four players who are not with the Nats now but who seem like near-certain parts of their future — reliever Cole Kimball ("he might be up by Memorial Day" said principal owner Mark Lerner), catcher Derek Norris and, of course The Two of 'Em.
Strasburg stood in the right field corner on Wednesday afternoon, playing long toss, throwing the ball on a comfortable 120-foot line, as a couple of hundred fans watched him from the box seats and above the bullpen. They leaned over railings to see him, just as they did nine months ago and as they hope they will again six months from now.
"It's a great time for our fans to see that Stephen is alive and well," said Lerner, standing in the dugout, looking through a chilly drizzle at the scene. "We know how well he's coming along. But it's probably reassuring for them to see him actually throwing a baseball."
Later, on the lower-deck concourse, 18-year-old Harper, who is off his sprained ankle crutches now and headed for A ball in Hagerstown, did a meet-and-greet for fans as they walked down a long line of Nats players, asking questions, taking photos, but not getting autographs.
First in that line was Harper. Couldn't get enough of it. "Hey, glad to meet you." At the other end, between $126 million free agent Jayson Werth and Riggleman, stood Strasburg, gracious but a bit protected on either side.
Ryan Zimmerman, who's almost certainly the best all-around player on the team and, if you want to make odds, the Nat who probably has the best chance to be on the Hall of Fame ballot someday, took his casual wry observant place in the middle, glad to let others get some of that Face of the Franchise attention he had to carry ever since he was a 22-year-old rookie.
The Nationals are still a last-place team, but a rare, tantalizing variety — one with the vague outline of a much different future in front of them.
"It's been a long trip for baseball fans in this area. I grew up on the Senators and waited the 33 years between teams," said 62-year-old Stan Sidman, touring the park with his wife Jeanene. "Then we finally get a team back in '05 and it's a great team. Fun. But the new owners and Jim Bowden, don't get me going, decimate it. These guys don't know what they're doing.
"But, now that [Mike] Rizzo's in charge, things seem to be getting better."
"We live in Ellicott City. The year the team came back, you could barely pick up the radio signal. The second year, you could only get the games on TV in black and white. And we have to listen to the Oriole fans all the time," said Jeanene, who has no plans to get rid of the Nyjer Morgan bobblehead doll she finally scored on eBay.
"It's upsetting, but we still fly the [Nationals] flag."
They say that Cubs fans and Indians fans and Red Sox fans — and all the other chest-beaters — suffered for their baseball. Yeah, tell it to the Sidmans.
This was the day for those, and you might have been able to fit them all in the outfield bleachers, who fly the Washington baseball flag — even when it feels like winter and the rain is falling on them.
They deserve the future. And it might be quite something in a couple of years. But they also get a present — which begins Thursday — that has far more promise than any Nationals team before it.
"At last, you can visualize players at so many spots who have the ability to be really good players. Which ones will actually do it? We'll find out. But we're being forced to send big league quality players to the minors or trade them before opening day," said Boone, citing pitchers Ross Detwiler, Collin Balester and Kimball, as well as Morgan and Alberto Gonzalez, who were both traded for prospects.
"Six years ago, that didn't exist."
Can we please just get started? Because something is happening here. Maybe it's the end of the past. Or the beginning of the future. Either will do.

We love it when Apple live-streams its keynotes so that we can watch along with those lucky enough to have gotten an invite, but yesterday's was nothing short of a disaster. It was down more than it was up, and it made Tim Cook and Phil Schiller sound like Chinese girls. But if you missed anything, you can now catch up on-demand and uninterrupted.
Hands-on: See the Apple Watch in action
The iWatch is no longer a unicorn. Apple finally unveiled its wearable device today — dubbed the Apple Watch — and Cult of Mac was there to get a hands-on look at the highly customizable smartwatch.
The Apple Watch is slated for released in early 2015 and will be available in three lines, starting at $349.

Fake it 'til they make it: Free theme turns Android Wear into an iWatch
Apple sure is making us wait for the iWatch, and if recent rumors are to be believed, that wait isn't about to end any time soon. If you've decided to spend your cash on an LG G Watch or Samsung Gear Live instead, then why not add a touch of iOS to it yourself with the free iWatch theme for Android Wear.
LG's Curved Displays Will Let Apple's iWatch Hug Your Wrist [Rumor]
Apple has chosen LG Electronics as its sole manufacturing partner for the iWatch, according to a new report from Korea. The device is expected to use the same curved OLED display technology LG recently debuted with its G Flex smartphone, and production could begin during the third quarter of this year.
Developer's Pebble Proposal Earns Him A Yes
Developers are making some pretty awesome apps for the Pebble smartwatch, but Chrono could be one of the most significant to date — at least for its creator, Rick Ucker.
Ucker built the simple app to propose to his now fiancée, who bought him the $150 smartwatch for his birthday.
