The figure of its victim is quite high and it continues to rise every second of the day. Studies show that almost &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;1500 lives&lt;/span&gt; are taken away by cancer everyday and it is accounted for &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;1 of every 4 death every hour&lt;/span&gt;. Experts said that when no effective measure was taken to prevent CANCER it would be the world’s top killing disease by year 2015. What’s even worst is that CANCER affects everyone, may you be an elderly or just a child.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experts never stop finding for the cure of CANCER. New technologies and new modalities are discovered every year to treat it. Vaccines are made available to fight certain types of CANCER like the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer and hepa B vaccine for liver cancer. Yet, FDA didn’t approve these vaccines as a standard treatment but only as prevention. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;So how CANCER does develops? Normally, your healthy cells undergo a process of mitosis to multiply and develop. When cell became damaged or is already old it is normally replaced by healthy new cells. However, there are times that there is an uncontrolled cell development. Cells multiply and develop faster. These abnormal cells don’t die and they just continue to reproduce. Soon, they will become an abnormal mass of tissue known as tumor that will start to invade and damage normal cells. Hence cancer attack starts.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Study shows that it takes almost ten years for cancer cells to fully mature. The process of cancer development is quite slow but when it reaches its maturity it rapidly spreads in the different parts of the body. Chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery is the treatment of choice however these don’t guarantee full recovery. The chance of recurrence after some time is still high.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;That is why medical experts always remind the public that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Treatment of cancer is quite difficult so better prevent it before it happens. Doctors suggest that the world should start to modify their lifestyle since most of the cancers results from bad habits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffd966;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #eeeeee; color: red;&quot;&gt;STOP SMOKING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #444444; color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Full-Pack-Cigarette-Assorted/dp/B001PBMZ8S?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=healthwiseh03-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Smoking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healthwiseh03-20&amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B001PBMZ8S&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; /&gt; is the number reason for LUNG CANCER. Nicotine damages the sensitive linings of your airways and lungs. Normally these damaged cells would heal but when there is prolong exposure to this chemical the cellular healing process is affected. Abnormal cellular scarring develops and sooner and later these abnormal scars would multiply. It would be too late for you to know that you had already developed a lung tumor.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Carcinogens are cancer causing ingredients. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Even though experts said that one bottle of beer a day is fine, it is still safe to stop alcohol intake if possible. Alcohol damages and weakens your liver making it susceptible to infections such as hepatitis virus. Hepa B is a known precursor of LIVER CANCER. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Fiber cleanses your colon and it also washes out free radicals and harmful elements in your stomach and colon. We should take fruits and vegetables, as least three to five servings a day. Avoid canned and prepared foods since these contain cancer causing substances. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;A food would be tasteless without a pinch of salt and that&#39;s a simple kitchen fact every household knows. Indeed, chef considered salt as their own magic wand that just by one stroke it can turn any dish into a delicacy. Unfortunately, too much of anything can harm us and salt is not an exemption to the rule. Worst, most of the deadly threat to human life is primarily caused by too much salt intake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;Hypernatremia is the medical term for an increase level of sodium in the blood. Naturally, the body eliminates excess sodium through our kidneys in the form of a urine. Yet, when too much sodium is in the blood it draws water meaning excess sodium results to excess water. When some one is overloaded with fluid the body compensates as evidence by faster heartbeat and increase in blood pressure.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;If however you are already experiencing some of the symptoms given below, visiting your doctor is strongly advised.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;- &lt;/b&gt;edema&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;-nausea and vomiting&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;-confusion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;-appetite loss&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;-muscle weakness&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;-muscle cramps&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;-seizures&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;-coma&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;Treatment for hypernatremia lies behind its etiology. If excess sodium is caused by diet you may be advised to avoid foods that are high containing salt. On the other hand, if you are diagnosed to have more major disease such as kidney problem and heart ailment, further examinations will be required.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #741b47; color: #d5a6bd;&quot;&gt;So don&#39;t let yourself experience the pain of a lifetime ailment.

It refers to a functional abnormality of the central nervous system caused by a disrupted oxygen supply. Stroke can be divided into &lt;strong&gt;two major categories: ischemic and hemorrhagic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;To give a short background, &lt;em&gt;Ischemic Stroke&lt;/em&gt; happens when there is an occlusion to any brain vessels that leads to depleted oxygen supply, hence, brain nerves dies. &lt;em&gt;Hemorrhagic stroke&lt;/em&gt; in the other hand is a rupture of a brain nerve that leads to extravasation of blood into the brain. Although the two types have some differences in terms of its etiology, pathophysiology and medical or surgical management, the have almost the same clinical manifestation and nursing management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;One of the most debilitating complications of stroke is motor dysfunction manifested by weakness and paralysis of the face, arm, and leg on one or both side occurs. This makes the patient to be bed ridden. It is then the responsibility of the health care giver to improve the patient’s mobility and to prevent joint deformities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;NURSINGINTERVENTION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;IMPROVIG MOBILITY AND PREVENTING JOINT DEFORMITIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;To deal with this, here is the list of interventions the caregiver might consider.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0p_1PZtndKnqCeAb2Et137nuHRdMB5T75s4axqPLRAA3s34_kNEl6d8UtdFSvo0Rpvvp5T1FFv-IR3tKfdYF5GydscSJ-8lwLD3wDA-3wA_nmweAIcjXg5J_5g9deVfijDyo0fpWyaf4T/s1600/6CAXB5CYUCAF3G8P5CA7DXB2NCAJYR6KZCAAJ9D1HCAJ8V6U5CAYC411ZCAL6IJTBCAZ1E4JDCA2FLZ39CA8440FQCAZKDRDNCA3CAFVNCAPL1MERCAX0LSEZCAYKRKFNCABQYM36CAES7YPCCAZ9M5YT.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; px=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0p_1PZtndKnqCeAb2Et137nuHRdMB5T75s4axqPLRAA3s34_kNEl6d8UtdFSvo0Rpvvp5T1FFv-IR3tKfdYF5GydscSJ-8lwLD3wDA-3wA_nmweAIcjXg5J_5g9deVfijDyo0fpWyaf4T/s200/6CAXB5CYUCAF3G8P5CA7DXB2NCAJYR6KZCAAJ9D1HCAJ8V6U5CAYC411ZCAL6IJTBCAZ1E4JDCA2FLZ39CA8440FQCAZKDRDNCA3CAFVNCAPL1MERCAX0LSEZCAYKRKFNCABQYM36CAES7YPCCAZ9M5YT.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;CORRECT POSITIONING.&lt;/strong&gt; Correct positioning is important to prevent contractures. During each patient contact, position of the patient should always be evaluated. The most common positions that patients assume in bed are supine side-lying, and prone. The healthcare giver helps the patient assumes this position by using pillows and sometimes splints to prevent joint deformities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;PREVENT EXTERNAL ROTATION OF THE HIP&lt;/strong&gt;. The patient who is confined to bed for longer period may develop external rotation deformity of the hip due to the tendency of the hip to rotate outward when the patient in supine position. Nurse or the caregiver must use trochanter roll to prevent this deformity. With correct placement, it serves as a mechanical wedge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;PREVENTING FOOTDROP&lt;/strong&gt;. Footdrop is a deformity in which the ankle bends in the direction of the sole of the foot. Because of this, the patient will not be able to hold the foot in a normal position and will be able to walk only on his or her toes. To prevent this deformity, the patient’s feet should be kept in right angles relative to the legs by using padded splints. Precaution should be observed for positioning devices may cause unwanted pressure areas. The patient is assisted to perform ankle exercises several times each hour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;MAINTAINING MUSCLE STRENGHT AND JOINT MOBILITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;Optimal function depends on the strength of the muscles and joint motion. Range of motion exercises and specific therapeutic exercises must be included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;PERFORMING RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES&lt;/strong&gt;. Range of motion exercises may be active, assisted or passive. Unless prescribed, exercises must be made at least three times a day. The joint to be exercised is supported and the bones above the joint are stabilized. A joint should not be moved beyond its free range of motion and is only moved to the point of resistance and stopped at the point of pain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;PASSIVE RANGE OF MOTION.&lt;/strong&gt; To perform passive or assisted range of motion, the patient must be in a comfortable position with the arms at the sides and the knees extended. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;POSITION CHANGES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;The patient’s position should be changed every 2 hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I, myself, even bought anti-mosquito bracelet, always apply and reapply repellent lotion and I was even thinking of using cloth detergents that claims to protect us from the attack of mosquitoes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Department of Health states, the death toll of &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Dengue-Fever-Presents-Electric-Cambodia/dp/B002WSYLRQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=healthwiseh03-20&amp;link_code=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&quot;&gt;dengue fever&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healthwiseh03-20&amp;l=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002WSYLRQ&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important&quot; /&gt; in our country had already reached 500 with most of its victims belongs to the younger group of the population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With these alarming facts, the best prevention is nothing but a good knowledge. As a registered nurse, having a good background with regard to this issue, let me then share what each of us ought to know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The dengue virus is carried by a FEMALE ONLY mosquito.&lt;br /&gt;
2. These FEMALE ONLY mosquito are LOW-FLYING and attacks in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;
3. They breed in a CLEAN and STAGNANT water.&lt;br /&gt;
4. There is NO approve and tested vaccine for dengue virus.&lt;br /&gt;
5. The aim of treatment for dengue fever is avoidance of its complications.&lt;br /&gt;
6. There is really NO treatment regimen for DENGUE, only supportive and symptomatic treatment.&lt;br /&gt;
7. Dengue fever can be managed at home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many might ask how come a fatal disease like dengue fever can actually be managed at home. To be honest, there is really no definite treatment or drugs that can combat the dengue virus. Physician will only treat the arising complication and its symptoms. Paracetamol is given if the patient is febrile, antacids are prescribed for patients complaining of stomach pain. However, the center of the treatment is HYDRATION. If the patient is hospitalized, he or she is maintained on IVF. However, if the patient is treated at home, oresol solution is prescribed to take every 30 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oresol Solution can be avail in the all leading drug stores, however, it would be good to know, how to make a home-made oresol solution. Just remember the formula of 1-8-1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in a 1 liter of water, dissolve 8 teaspoon of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of salt. Make the patient drink at least two glasses of the solution every hour. The solution must be consumed in the span of 24 hours, nevertheless, it must be discarded.&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=healthwiseh03-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=bpl&amp;asins=B001UDUR9U&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align:left;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;&quot;align=&quot;left&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preciouscave.blogspot.com/feeds/5405524713456761605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://preciouscave.blogspot.com/2010/10/attack-dengue.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1116092584408763743/posts/default/5405524713456761605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1116092584408763743/posts/default/5405524713456761605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preciouscave.blogspot.com/2010/10/attack-dengue.html' title='attack the dengue'/><author><name>Life is not stagnant</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05725835034659530061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116092584408763743.post-1868261499696644425</id><published>2010-08-15T05:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T05:55:35.118-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I FAINT YOU!</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Faintness&lt;/b&gt; is defined as a brief loss of consciousness. It is a general symptom rather than a specific illness. Usually faintness is precipitated with dizziness, light headedness, a spinning sensation, a tingling sound in the ear and sudden cool and clammy skin. Many medical cases are attributed with faintness. The most common of which is the sudden drop in blood pressure, an abnormally low level of blood sugar, decreased in red blood cell and some conditions like pregnancy and ear problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Sphygmomanometer-Stethoscope-Matching-Carrying/dp/B00062N4K0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=healthwiseh03-20&amp;link_code=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&quot;&gt;DROP IN BLOOD PRESSURE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healthwiseh03-20&amp;l=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00062N4K0&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important&quot; /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; – if you experienced faintness after rising from a sitting or lying position then postural hypotension is most likely the cause of your faintness. This is due to the sudden pooling of the blood from the upper portion of your body to the lower portion of your body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Home treatment: &lt;/b&gt;if you suffer from this type of faintness, make it a habit of changing position slowly. Give your time at least five minutes in every position change. When coming from a lying position, sit first and dangle your feet before standing up. If above treatment doesn’t help, lie down and raised your leg. Put pillow under your legs, it should be higher than your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Track-Smart-System-Glucose-Monitor/dp/B000O0EM5K?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=healthwiseh03-20&amp;link_code=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&quot;&gt;LOW BLOOD SUGAR&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healthwiseh03-20&amp;l=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000O0EM5K&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important&quot; /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; – if you are diabetic or it had been a long time since your last meal, the cause of your faintness may be due to low level of sugar in your blood. Accompanied with faintness is trembling, blurring of vision, slurred speech and headache. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Home treatment &lt;/b&gt;– If you are a diagnosed diabetic patient, you should wear diabetic wristband which could aid rescuers to diagnose the cause of your loss of consciousness. Along with this, you should always carry glucose tablets, sugar or candy and soft drinks which you can eat to prevent the attack. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DECRESED IN &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/GIANT-Microbes-Blood-Erythrocyte-Plush/dp/B000NOC55G?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=healthwiseh03-20&amp;link_code=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&quot;&gt;RED BLOOD CELL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=healthwiseh03-20&amp;l=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000NOC55G&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important&quot; /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; – Red blood cell carries and delivers oxygen to the different parts of the body including the major organs such as brain. A decreased in the number of red blood cell is then synonymous with a lack of oxygen in the body. If your body particularly your brain lacks oxygen, it won’t work properly, you might then feel dizzy and faint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Home treatment &lt;/b&gt;– Normally, your physician will request a complete blood count. This diagnostic test would then confirm whether you lack RBC. Once diagnosed, you will be prescribed with iron vitamins. Along with this, you should eat foods high in iron content. Examples of these are the green leafy vegetables and organ meats. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
General treatment – to help someone who suddenly fainted, check first is the patient is breathing normally. Lay the person on his or her back and raised her or his legs as high as possible. Loosen any tight clothing, open the windows to allow air ventilation or when you are outside, and remove the patient from direct sunlight. Once the person regain consciousness have her or him to remain on the lying position for at least 15-30 minutes and remind that he or she should slowly change his or her position very slowly.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preciouscave.blogspot.com/feeds/1868261499696644425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://preciouscave.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-faint-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1116092584408763743/posts/default/1868261499696644425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1116092584408763743/posts/default/1868261499696644425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preciouscave.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-faint-you.html' title='I FAINT YOU!'/><author><name>Life is not stagnant</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05725835034659530061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116092584408763743.post-6817043247995926540</id><published>2010-07-29T04:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-29T04:44:10.262-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sleepless"/><title type='text'>Insomia - why can&#39;t you sleep</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVr8mSmmwZjb5VacCxUKkkb8xVX40MIDQoPGeaBCiUh0GueaiGIEcaTQurcJaeJhZgLoxFCqjDBhvsJbbHffdluiP283oeD_T8MM_TsbJHQuZ6c7abQix4lvRCylRNeLQYVgmYBDaM9ia/s1600/insomia.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 190px; height: 163px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVr8mSmmwZjb5VacCxUKkkb8xVX40MIDQoPGeaBCiUh0GueaiGIEcaTQurcJaeJhZgLoxFCqjDBhvsJbbHffdluiP283oeD_T8MM_TsbJHQuZ6c7abQix4lvRCylRNeLQYVgmYBDaM9ia/s320/insomia.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499292532651900450&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has it been hard for you to fall asleep when you go to bed at night?
