			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the recent soar of the amount of people suffering from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, we ask a question. What is the cause of this epidemic? After years of research and study, doctors have discovered one of many possible answers. Several drugs, all of which are hunger suppressant drugs, have a viable link to the epidemic. The drugs include: Dexfenfluramine, Aminorex and Fenfluramine. Since the release of this medical news, millions of people who consumed Fen Phen now believe their ailments are due to Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. It is a deadly disease that is able to occur within a person who has never taken any of the above drugs. Only occurring in less than three people per million, it is an extremely rare disease.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
People suffering from PPH experience several different symptoms. Being short breathed, also known as dyspnea, feelings of fatigue, continuous pain felt in the chest area, and dizziness are just a few of the minor symptoms a person with the disease may experience. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
When a person develops it, his or her blood pressure will dramatically rise in the pulmonary arteries. The specific action of the pulmonary arteries blood pressure rising is called hypertension. To simplify the definition into non-medical terms, Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is dangerously high blood pressure in the lungs. Typically, low oxygenated blood is brought from the right ventricle of the heart through the pulmonary arteries. Afterwards the hearts right side will pump the low oxygenated blood into both sides of the lungs. This is how the body receives much-needed oxygen. Following voyage through the right side of the heart and then to the left side, the blood is able to travel through the aorta to the rest of the body.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
However, with someone suffering from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, the body works inappropriately. The lungs very small blood vessels transform and then seal. When this occurs, the closed blood vessels prevent the flow of blood, thus causing the pressure in the pulmonary artery to increase about three times. Since PPH is such a harmful and often deadly disease, the typical rate of survival after being diagnosed is generally less then thirty-six months. Uncommon in most cases of it, early detection and early treatment can prolong the three year average up to ten years.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Cured of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension:</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Like many other deadly diseases, Primary Pulmonary Hypertension has no known cure. However, one does not have to live in discomfort and a fear of the disease consuming them. Medications and treatments are available to help ease the unpleasant symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. Although some do not see the purpose of a medicine without a cure, many people give thanks that they are able to continue their lives in an orderly manner.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
There are many different ways in which Primary Pulmonary Hypertension patients may receive treatment. They may receive oxygen, diuretics, or calcium channel blockers. Each treatment is different and each treatment should be considered. Although there are many conventional ways to ease the symptoms of PPH, there also a few forms of treatment that have not yet been approved by the Federal Drug Administration.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The simple procedure of administering oxygen to a PPH patient can be very beneficial in relieving difficulties in breathing. In addition to relieving strenuous breathing, administering oxygen also helps to relax the lungs artery muscles. Another advantage to receiving oxygen is that the pressure in the lungs will decrease to a reasonable level. When an excessive amount of fluid builds up around the heart, PPH patients receive diuretics. When patients receive diuretics, the doctors must be extremely careful. The reason such precaution must be taken is, the patient must not get entirely dehydrated. With an already poorly functioning ventricle system, dehydration can cause the blood to stop being pumped to the lungs.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Another method of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension treatment is through calcium channel blockers. An example of this would be nifedipine, a muscle relaxant. Nifedipine specifically relaxes the muscles that are found in the walls of blood vessels. Even though this form of treatment appears quite pleasant, it often is not. Although the right side of the heart is able to function more efficiently, the blood pressure may be decreased throughout the entire cardiovascular system. Thus, it may create somewhat of an unpleasant situation for the PPH patient. A couple forms of treatment still in the experimental phase include the inhalation of Nitric Oxide and the use of prostacycline. The purpose of inhaling nitric oxide is to relax the lung&#8217;s blood vessels. When inhaling the nitric oxygen, the rest of the body does not feel the effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millions of people are affected by high blood pressure (hypertension), a condition in which blood travels through the body&#8217;s arteries at a pressure too high for good health. High blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension (PHT). The blood pressure measured by cuff on your arm isn&#8217;t directly related to the pressure in your lungs. The blood vessels that supply the lungs constrict and their walls thicken, so they can&#8217;t carry as much blood. As in a kinked garden hose, pressure builds up and backs up. The heart works harder, trying to force the blood through. Nearly 50 million Americans have high blood pressure (also known as hypertension). It occurs when blood travels through the body&#8217;s arteries at a pressure too high for good health.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It is most commonly found in women between ages 20 and 40. However, men and women in all age ranges ? as well as very young children ? can develop PPH. There are two main kinds of pulmonary hypertension. One runs in families or appears for no known reason. The other kind is related to another condition, usually heart or lung disease. The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension is left heart failure leading to pulmonary venous hypertension (WHO Group II). This may be due to systolic or diastolic malfunction of the left ventricle or due to valvular dysfunction such as mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, or aortic regurgitation. It usually manifests as pulmonary edema or pleural effusions.Treatment is determined by whether the PH is arterial, venous, hypoxic, or miscellaneous. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The impotence drug Viagra, is sometimes used to treat pulmonary hypertension. Most medications often used to treat coexistent illnesses are safe for people with PHT. Prostacyclin given intravenously through a catheter surgically implanted in the skin improves the quality of life, increases survival, and reduces the urgency of lung transplantation. Vasodilators (drugs to dilate blood vessels), such as calcium channel blockers, nitric oxide, and prostacyclin, are often helpful for secondary pulmonary hypertension associated with scleroderma, chronic liver disease, and HIV infection. Bosentan, a new drug given by mouth, has been effective in some people. A drug similar to prostacyclin, called iloprost, can be administered by inhalation. Sometimes lung transplants also are done.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment and Prevention Tips </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>1. Diuretics reduce the amount of fluid in the body.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>2. Given oxygen therapy to help treat pulmonary hypertension.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>3. High dose calcium channel blockers are useful in PAH patients. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>4. Prostacyclin is commonly considered the most effective treatment for PAH. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>5. Viagra, is sometimes used to treat pulmonary hypertension. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>6. Bosentan drug given by mouth, has been effective in some people. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>7. Transplantation may be a possible treatment for severe secondary pulmonary hypertension.</p>

Such medicines include Alpha blockers;Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors; Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) ; Beta-blockers;Calcium channel blockers; Central alpha agonists; Diuretics; Renin inhibitors, including aliskiren (Tekturna).</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Medicines used if the blood pressure is very high may include: Clonidine; Diazoxide; Furosemide; Hydralazine; Minoxidil; and Nitroprusside.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Your doctor may also tell you to exercise, lose weight, and follow a healthier diet. If you have pre-hypertension, your doctor will recommend the same lifestyle changes to bring your blood pressure down to normal range.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valerian is the generic name of a root herb used as a sedative substance to treat insomnia and anxiety disorder. For more than one thousand years, Valerian root has been used as a tranquilizer to calm people by helping them alleviate stress.</p>
<p>The biochemicals of valerian are similar to the modern tranquilizers and mood elevators being prescribed by doctors in the treatment of anxiety and stress. Based on results of medical studies conducted on humans and animals, it has found great support in its use as treatment for high blood pressure.</p>
<p>As far as herb dosages are concerned, the absence of standard medications poses some problems since its contents may vary with the way it is prepared. Nevertheless, the suggested daily use of the valerian plant material should not exceed; for standardized extract &#8211; 30 to 400 mg; tincture &#8211; 1/2 to 1 teaspoon; 300 to 500 mg in capsule or tablet forms and 1 to 2 cups if taken as tea. Further, in its preparation as tea,it is suggested that the pot be kept covered to prevent the oils from escaping.</p>
<p>As an herbal medicine, there are no prescribed regulations in its manufacture; hence, the presence of contaminants or other counter-interacting drugs is possible.</p>
<p>Although the utilization of valerian has scientific support, it can cause excessive urination and should not be used by pregnant women, by persons operating machines, and people under the medication of antidepressant drugs.</p>
<p>Regardless of the scientific support, the use of valerian has no evaluation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as to its effectiveness, safety, and purity.</p>
<p>The most common side effects are difficulty in breathing, excitability, headache, sleeplessness, recklessness, dilated pupils, and irregular heartbeats. In case any of these symptoms are experienced while taking valerian, the user is advised to discontinue with its use and seek medical intervention.</p>
<p>On the other hand, valerian roots have no side effects considered as common among synthetic sedative drugs, such as addiction and morning sickness or hangovers. Some medical practitioners even prescribe valerian roots to ease the symptoms of withdrawal from sedative drugs; usually it is recommended to be taken on a daily basis to be effective as opposed to ?when needed? basis.</p>
<p>Today, valerian is primarily prescribed in treating people with sleeping problems or insomnia, anxiety syndromes, muscle spasms, menstrual cramps or intestinal cramping.</p>
<p>As an herbal medicine, consulting an herbalist physician as a precautionary measure should be observed before taking valerian, especially if making a transition from the use of a current sedative drug. In addition, you should first seek your doctor?s approval, in case you are considering valerian roots as your treatment for high blood pressure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>High blood pressure is widely known as the ?silent killer?. Statistics have it that out of the fifty million Americans afflicted with hypertension or high blood pressure, only an estimated of thirty million had proper diagnosis.</p>
<p>In fact, most of those who were diagnosed did not visit their doctors to find cure or treatment for high blood pressure, but merely to acquire medical certification for a clean bill of health for insurance or employment purposes. </p>
<p>In some other cases, they may have submitted themselves to treat the symptoms of other disorders like heart attack, kidney failure, or other problems related to high blood pressure.</p>
<p>Essential Hypertension and Secondary hypertension</p>
<p>High blood pressure can be an offshoot of another major problem. If the proper treatment methods of the main disease had been observed, blood pressure could have been prevented as a resulting complication. Based on statistics, less than 10% of diagnosed high blood pressure stem from another disorder and this is known as secondary hypertension.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the common form of hypertension we usually encounter is called essential hypertension. It is often the result of several factors such as heredity, lack of exercises, stress, excessive weight, or poor diet. </p>
<p>Except for heredity, the other causes are diet related wherein the excessive intakes of salt resulting to imbalance between sodium and potassium is the most common contributing factor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Significant advances in the treatment of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) have been made since the 1990s. While there is still no cure for this condition, there are now a variety of options that increase the quality of life and improve the long-term prognosis for people with this disease. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you have been diagnosed with PPH as a result of Fen-Phen use, you have several options available for treatment depending on how far advanced your disease is and how healthy you are in other respects. Other considerations such as allergies are also an important factor in determining whether you will be treated with Flolan or another similar drug.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is caused by increased blood pressure in the lungs, which in turn has a variety of causes, one of which is known to be prolonged use of the diet drug Fen-Phen. The high blood pressure in the lungs puts extra strain on the heart of the affected individual, and causes shortness of breath, fatigue, fainting, dizziness, and cyanosis (a blue tinge to the skin of the feet, hands, and lips).</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Drugs used for PPH treatment are, therefore, typically targeted to expanding lung blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the lungs in order to ease the strain on the heart and provide relief from the symptoms of the disease.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Determining which of these drugs is the best to use for PPH treatment can be a lengthy process. Individual reactions to each drug can vary quite widely, so a patient may have to try several different treatment options before an effective long-term treatment can be established.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Approximately 25% of patients can be treated effectively with oral medication using drugs called calcium channel blockers; however for those that do not respond to this medication, stronger oral medications or intravenously-administered drugs such as Flolan are needed to treat PPH effectively.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While Flolan is an effective medication for the treatment of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, it does have some disadvantages. Flolan is administered intravenously directly into the patient&#8217;s bloodstream, via a catheter which must be surgically implanted into a chest vein. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Once the drug is injected, it functions for only five minutes in the body, and this means that a patient being treated with Flolan must be continually injected with new doses of the drug (via the catheter) to maintain an optimum level of treatment. People receiving Flolan treatment wear a small battery-operated pump which injects Flolan into the catheter at a pre-determined rate.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
All of this means that for people who have had and would like to maintain a very active lifestyle, Flolan may not be the best choice for PPH treatment. The preparation that is injected must be prepared daily, as the drug has a very short life-span, and the pump must be kept cold with mini ice packs if the supply of the drug is to last longer than eight hours without being renewed. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The pump itself can also interfere with daily life. Certain sporting activities, such as swimming and other water sports are made more difficult, and high impact activities such as contact sports are not recommended due to the possibility of the pump or catheter being displaced. The effects of sudden withdrawal of Flolan treatment, even if for a short time only, can be quite severe, and may cause breathing difficulties as well as dizziness and weakness.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Despite its disadvantages, Flolan treatment has some advantages when compared to treatment with other medications such as Tracleer. The side effects of Flolan are typically less severe than those of some other medications used for PPH treatment, particularly for long-term use. Tracleer, for example, can cause liver damage and is known to be harmful to unborn babies. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Flolan can improve the quality of life for people with PPH quite dramatically, and can improve the long term prognosis for the disease as well as enabling individuals to achieve a normal level of physical fitness and activity. Flolan treatment is also known to slow down the progress of scarring in lung tissue caused by Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, and it is now viewed as an effective alternative to lung transplantation (which was once used as a last resort for PPH treatment and carries its own set of risks).</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One final advantage of Flolan treatment is one of cost. Flolan is currently considered a PPH treatment rather than a prescription medication. For this reason, Flolan treatment is usually fully covered by Medicare and health insurance, as long as approval is gained before treatment begins.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the miracle diet drug, Fen Phen, was introduced in the early 90&#8217;s, nearly 6.5 million people consumed the drug. The reason for such a large consumption was the immediate weight loss associated with the drug. However, after ties between Fen Phen and the fatal Primary Pulmonary Hypertension were established, American Home Products removed the drug from the market in mid September of &#8216;97.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While Fen Phen supporters did not want to believe the horrible side effects that would befall some, they soon came to the realization that the drug was quite harmful. Soon after Fen Phen was pulled from American shelves, evidence implicating AHP of withholding serious knowledge of the harmful side effects the drug would cause came to light.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Since millions of people had taken the diet drug Fen Phen, a large percentage of these people were experiencing drastic side effects, and in some cases even death. Many people say they would pay any price to lose weight. However, death was not the price they wanted to pay.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
A large number of the lawsuits filed in state court were filed because of the different effects Fen Phen caused on people&#8217;s health. The people filing suit were seeking some type of compensation for the rising medical bills they were incurring.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In late 1997, every single federal Fen Phen case was transferred to the United States District Court. This event started a series of nationwide Fen Phen settlements. In mid-November of 99, preliminary approval was given to the settlement class. In order to find that the agreement reached in the settlement was fair, the district court held a hearing.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In August of 2000, the settlement agreement was awarded approval. Thus creating the American Home Products Settlement Trust. After attempts to overturn the court&#8217;s ruling, the AHP gave in to the settlement.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you are a patient who has suffered from PPH (Primary Pulmonary Hypertension) caused by the diet drug Fen Phen, then you should know that you are not part of the settlement agreement with AHP. All Primary Pulmonary Hypertension patients are required to file independent lawsuits to make any legal claim.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Cured of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension:</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Like many other deadly diseases, Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) has no known cure. However, one does not have to live in discomfort and a fear of the disease consuming them. Medications and treatments are available to help ease the unpleasant symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. Although some do not see the purpose of a medicine without a cure, many people give thanks that they are able to continue their lives in an orderly manner.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
There are many different ways in which Primary Pulmonary Hypertension patients may receive treatment. They may receive oxygen, diuretics, or calcium channel blockers. Each treatment is different and each treatment should be considered. Although there are many conventional ways to ease the symptoms of PPH, there also a few forms of treatment that have not yet been approved by the Federal Drug Administration.<br />&#13;<br />
The simple procedure of administering oxygen to a pulmonary primary hypertension patient can be very beneficial in relieving difficulties in breathing. In addition to relieving strenuous breathing, administering oxygen also helps to relax the lungs artery muscles. Another advantage to receiving oxygen is that the pressure in the lungs will decrease to a reasonable level.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
When an excessive amount of fluid builds up around the heart, Primary Pulmonary Hypertension patients receive diuretics. When patients receive diuretics, the doctors must be extremely careful. The reason such precaution must be taken is, the patient must not get entirely dehydrated. With an already poorly functioning ventricle system, dehydration can cause the blood to stop being pumped to the lungs.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Another method of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension treatment is through calcium channel blockers. An example of this would be nifedipine, a muscle relaxant. Nifedipine specifically relaxes the muscles that are found in the walls of blood vessels. Even though this form of treatment appears quite pleasant, it often is not. Although the right side of the heart is able to function more efficiently, the blood pressure may be decreased throughout the entire cardiovascular system. Thus, it may create somewhat of an unpleasant situation for the PPH patient.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
A couple forms of treatment still in the experimental phase include the inhalation of Nitric Oxide and the use of prostacycline. The purpose of inhaling nitric oxide is to relax the lung&#8217;s blood vessels. When inhaling the nitric oxygen, the rest of the body does not feel the effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans. Hypertension also known as high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. The heart pumps blood into the arteries (blood vessels), which carry the blood throughout the body. Blood pressure measurements are the result of the force of the blood produced by the heart and the size and condition of the arteries. Many factors can affect blood pressure, including how much water and salt you have in your body, the condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels, and the levels of different body hormones. High blood pressure can affect all types of people. Hypertension is affects mostly age 55, 90 percent chance of developing it at some point in your life.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Hypertension is most common symptoms headaches, fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, facial flushing or tinnitus. Malignant hypertension (or accelerated hypertension) is distinct as a late phase in the condition, and may present with headaches, blurred vision and end-organ damage. Hypertension is damage the heart and blood vessels, and can eventually lead to several other conditions, including stroke ,heart failure ,heart attack ,kidney failure and vision problems. Hypertension is typically treated by making changes in your lifestyle, and with drug therapy. Lifestyle changes include losing weight, stopping smoking, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough exercise, especially aerobic exercise. ACE inhibitors stop the production of a hormone called angiotensin II that makes the blood vessels narrow.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists work in a similar way to ACE inhibitors. Vasodilators medications prevent the muscles from tightening Beta-blockers block the effect of the hormone adrenaline and the sympathetic nervous system on the body. This relaxes the heart so that it beats more slowly, lowering the blood pressure. Alpha-blockers cause the blood vessels to relax and widen. Combining them with beta-blockers has a greater effect on the resistance in the circulation. Calcium-channel blockers reduce muscle tension in the arteries, expanding them and creating more room for the blood flow. Diuretics help the body get rid of excess salt and fluids via the kidneys. Weight reduction and regular aerobic exercise are also recommended to treating mild to moderate hypertension. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Asymptomatic Hypertension Treatment and Prevention Tips </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>1. Avoid smoking. </p>
