Hypertension and Chicken Pox
High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension)
High blood pressure or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body. High blood pressure does not mean excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension and stress can temporarily increase blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is called "pre-hypertension", and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high.

Causes: fried foods large salt in take
Symptoms: It is known as the "silent killer" since it has no initial symptoms but can lead to long-term disease and complications.
Long term effects: heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, peripheral artery disease, and aortic aneurysms (weakening of the wall of the aorta, leading to widening or ballooning of the aorta).
Preventions: Following a Healthy Eating Pattern, Reducing Salt and Sodium in Your Diet, Maintaining a Healthy Weight, Being Physically Active, Limiting Alcohol Intake, Quitting Smoking.
Chicken Pox
Chicken pox is a highly contagious illness caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus. It usually starts with vesicular skin rash mainly on the body and head rather than at the periphery and become itchy, raw pockmarks, which mostly heal without scarring. Chicken pox is spread easily through coughs or sneezes of ill individuals or through direct contact with secretions from the rash. Following primary infection there is usually lifelong immunity from further episodes of chickenpox. Chickenpox is rarely fatal, although it is generally more severe in adult males than in adult females or children. Pregnant women and those with a suppressed immune system are at highest risk of serious complications. Chicken pox is now believed to be the cause of one third of stroke cases in children.
