Hypertension Malignant

Question: What is The Difference between benign and Malignant Intra-Cranial Hypertension? I was diagnosed not long ago with Benign Intra Cranial hypertension and I have heard there is another condition called malignant intra cranial hypertension. I just wanted to know if anyone knows the difference between them

Answer: Benign and malignant hypertension is a difference of magnitude. Malignant hypertension is much higher, and often more sudden. The effects on the circulatory system are different, as you could guess. Benign hypertension acts over a long time, but malignant hypertension can cause dramatic changes in the blood vessels, including a thickening that can eventually damage the organs they supply.

Question: Malignant Hypertension like myself? My doctors have watched my high BP go up and up for the past 8 years and finally I have been sent to a cardiologist for testing. I got the diagnosis of Malignant Hypertension and they started me on yet another heart medicine (that makes two heart meds and two BP meds daily and I'm 57 yrs old.). My BP is still staying around 165/102 most of the time. My 90 yr old neighbor is doing better. It doesn't take much for my BP to spike to well over 200 on the top number. The highest that I recorded was when I went into the hospital feeling horrible and they said it was 225/120. I constantly feel horrible. They have now said that my heart muscle is hardening and not flexible like it needs to be. The more I don't feel good, the more sedentary I become and the more weight I gain. That just starts the cycle again as you can imagine.

Answer: I don't know what state you are in but you sound like a strong canidate for CAN (Cardiovascular Autonomic Neurapthy). I work for a company called Ansar and we have a device called the ANX 3.0 and what this does patients in your case we will test your ANS( Autonomic Nervous System) A patient with your condition will show signs of dysfunction. Our machine helps the dr maintain your balance to avoid CAN and if not and you get CAN you will not serve it. We currently have units in dr's offices all over the unit states and 52 in Puerto Rico. Some dr's say oh I have a machine that does that but ours tell you the results in 15 min. and it is non invasive( no Needles ) its just a blood pressure cuff and 3 lead EKG and a few breathing exercises on your end. And you will see your health correcting it self as little as 3-6 months. We recommend you get the test every 6 months. This unit is FDA approved and it is hippa compliant and medicare and all major insurances pay for it to be done. If you are interested look on our website to learn more. www.ans-hrv.com

Question: how many suffer macular degeneration? suffer malignant hypertension? how many out there suffer or know someone who sufferes macular degeneration: about the disease http://eyesight.org/Table_of_Contents/ta… pictorials: http://eyesight.org/Pictorials/pictorial… how many are having theirs treated? by medications or has anyone had surgery? what caused your, your loved one or friends, aquaintances macular degeneration? mine was caused by malignant hypertension: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/… how many suffer this disease also? not many know about it, from what i gather.. i'm hoping to find out here really what the statistics are with both health problems. thanks for your time :D

Answer: At http://eyesight.org/Pictorials/Pic-Look_… , it states, "Macular degeneration damages and destroys the central vision of up to one in three Americans in their lifetime and has no known cause or cure." It states "no known cause" and there's a very good reason for it. I do not have macular degeneration... however, you might consider reading my post at http://www.iblindness.org/forum/index.ph… It may sound too impossible, but there's been a serious flaw at the base of optometry research. You need to read this to get an idea of what has happened. If you want to see what actually happened 85 years ago, read my post dated February 21, 2007 @ 10:59 am at http://improvingmyeyesight.com/blog/?p=3… One has to see this in a historical and cultural context to understand it in its entirety. I know those are pretty long reads, but they are crucial to understanding what's actually going on at the top levels of science. The leading optometrist at the highly selective Columbia University 85 years ago made a nearly 180 degree turn after 15 years of following optometry doctrine when he found something wrong with a theory from 1855. This theory has kept our doctors from uncovering the truth. This man's name was William Bates. He found that he could reverse not only refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, and so on) but serious eye diseases like blindness, cataracts, macular degeneration, and so many other things. The theory by itself changes everyone's understanding regarding what causes refractive errors and diseases of the eye. Even some modern optometrists (including a Director of Ophthalmologist at New York Medical College) have explicitly stated that Helmholtz's theory has prevented discovery of errors. I don't know the statistics regarding macular degeneration, but if you think there might even be an ounce of truth to what I'm saying, you can look at my posts and perhaps help yourself by reversing macular degeneration. To learn more about the Bates Method, you can look at http://www.iblindness.org/ ... start by reading the description on the main page. You can also post at the forums if you have any questions regarding how this method can apply to macular degeneration.

Question: Is there any difference between malignant hypertension and accelarated hypertension?

Answer: It is the same thing!! Malignant or accelarated hypertension is a life-threatening medical emergency that is a possible complication of practically any hypertensive disorder. If not promptly treated it can cause severe, rapidly progressive target-organ damage and death. While the histo-pathologic features of malignant hypertension are well recognized, the pathogenesis of the associated vascular lesions and the transition from a benign to a malignant phase are unclear. With adequate control of hypertension, progression to the accelarated or malignant phase can be prevented. Moreover, promptly and effectively reducing the blood pressure during the malignant phase can prevent, minimize or even reverse serious target organ injury. Malignant hypertension, therefore, is both preventable and treatable.

Question: How do you manage malignant hypertension?

Answer: Malignant hypertension is usually defined as very high blood pressure with swelling of the optic nerve behind the eye, called papilledema (grade IV Keith-Wagner hypertensive retinopathy). Malignant hypertension is usually accompanied by other organ damage like heart failure, kidney failure, and hypertensive encephalopathy. Hospitalization is essential until the severe high blood pressure is under control. Medications delivered through an IV line, such as nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, or others, may reduce your blood pressure. After the severe high blood pressure is brought under control, anti-hypertensive medications taken by mouth can control your blood pressure. The medication may need to be adjusted occasionally..

Question: Family member w/ 2 Social Security numbers!!!? Ok, My relative has two different social security numbers and with one she worked for two years while waiting for her disability to be approved, and the other she used to act as if she was totally disabled, now she does have a condition called Malignant Hypertension and the judge said because of her medical history that she was 100% disabled and now she receives disability. But she still continues to work with the other SS number. She's 45 yrs old and every much able to work. She goes around telling everybody how she gets all this money and has 2 different numbers threatening anyone who says they will tell on her She recently assaulted me this past tuesday,and threatened to kill me if I told. Should I report her to the IRS?

Answer: You should report her to Social Security. They are the ones who declared her disabled. You can just walk into any SS office and take a number. When your number is called, an officer will meet with you, in private. They will never tell where they got their information. Take with you all the information you can, like her name, birth date, address, where she works, names she uses, etc. SS will take this very seriously and will act on it.

Question: Is there anything wrong with eating healthy every day? I live with two other girl roomates. All they do is say I eat too healthy and blah blah blah. And "oh you're so skinny!" I weigh 140 5'6'' size ! But I have a heart condition and been diagnosed with malignant hypertension. So my diet consists of Oatmeal, almonds, whole grain breads, veggies, fruits, yogurts, chicken, lean beef, turkey, fish. I eat out on occasion. They think I'm a freak! Its very uncomfortable for me to continue living with them because all they do is point out "are you on a diet?" blah blah. What to do?

Answer: Tell them that they're stupid twats and that you'll have the last laugh when you're out running marathons and having fun while they're dealing with heart disease and high blood pressure. Did you explain to them that you have a medical condition that could cause serious complications if you don't watch your diet? What you eat is none of their business anyway. Tell them to grow up and get a life.
