Very good! Explains why while I am relaxing and on blood pressure medications, I feel lightheaded, dizzy a bit, and almost a sense of nausea, I begin to feel my blood pressure rise for no reason at all, my heart rate pulse is elevated. After a few hours, I begin to sense a calming change in my body to where I feel more normal again! May not be quit exact to what you are saying, but I feel more relieved by your explanation! Thanks! I see my doctor tomorrow also to explain my events.

Hi, the N95 mask that you need is the one that fits your face. If you are in healthcare, or front line service like police and fire, you will be tested to make sure there are no leaks. If you are in the community buying them off the shelf, there is no way to know if there are leaks (trust me - I have failed many a mask that were snug on my face)

Hi, really love the video and I learned a lot. I have recently been diagnosed with Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy (sorry if that is not spelled correctly) and have been prescribed both Ramipril and Bisoprolol for it. But I dont have high blood pressure and my heart rate rests at 70 bpm. So I have been told these meds with ease strain on my heart to stabilize it? Are there any videos are thoughts you might have on these medications being used for my predicament? Sadly they have been making me want to dry heave a lot so my GP has me only using the Ramipril right now to see which one is causing to feel that way. Anywho, thanks for these videos. Appreciate you!

Thank you that was well explained. I have enlarged vessels on my feet and hands and some lower leg swelling also recently chilblains and some ankle ache. My heart rate has slowed. I have been taking Ramipril 5mg for about 6 weeks. Can you advise how much the medication may be the cause. Just general without obligation. Thank you very much.
@NurseMinder Жыл бұрын
With the heart rate slowing, it may be contributing to the engorgement of the lower limb vessels, and a great conversation to have with your healthcare team. Often we have a multi-prong approach and you may need to add salt restrictions if you have not already. I have a video on heart disease

The N95 mask in the healthcare field is fit tested - so we have a wide range of them, and if they are not tested to determine if particles are leaking in - then we don't use them. The general public does not have access to the testing so it is a gamble. Even when you think those masks are tight - they can still leak, which is why we have to be tested on a regular basis, Lose weight, gain weight, and your mask needs to be refit.

Love the presentation. Q: When talking about ACE inhibitors, are we talking about the drug inhibiting ACE-2 Receptors at the molecular level ? The same receptors that interact with mRNA vaccines to create a spike protein ?

I have not heard about a connection to mRNA vaccines. Do you have a resource I can review?
@elli0032 жыл бұрын
@@NurseMinder I'm sorry. My question must sound confusing. I'll try to explain this with more precision. Your video was discussing how ACE Inhibitors work. My follow-up question is multi-fold. 1. Are these ACE Inhibitors inhibiting ACE Receptors at the cellular level ? AND IF SO 2. Are these receptors inclusive of the (ACE-2 Receptors) that we hear about when an antigen is introduced to create spike proteins ? 3. IF answer is YES; then wouldn't taking an ACE Inhibitor be counter-productive when being vaccinated with mRNA based vaccines where the Ace Inhibitor would cancel-out the creation of the spike protein ?

Immediately after you write that angiotensin2 vascodilates, you offer that blood pressure is positively lessened by suppressing it. Perhaps a wedge in-between indicating the hearts importance in management of blood pressure might not apppear to contradict? Also, the hormone induced by the adrenals to dehydrate while pushing 'potassium' - how much of that depends on 'salt'? 'Calcium' is less volatile, produced in histamine reactions to also vascodilate. The accumulative potential of all three, which requires correction to avoid 'hyper', does not appear to be factored in simply by blocking betas. How will favouring the positivity of heavy metal also redistribute it systemically? How to avoid the need for organ specific environmental detox, which adds more stress than continuous flow.

Well explained, thanks! Ramipril can increase heart rate to balance, so if someone takes nebivolol (a beta-blocker) to decrease the heart rate, will it be dangerous? What does a blood pressure of 130/70 indicate? Higher systolic and lower diastolic. Let's say someone is using 250 mg of testosterone per week and his BMI is 33, he is by default hypertensive, mostly because of the excess weight. High amounts of testosterone in the body also increased sodium retention and aldosterone. So the person takes eplerenone 25 mg in the morning, 2.5 mg nebivolol BID, and Ramipril 2.5 mg at night to counter the issue. He wants to use testosterone because he needs the extra energy and cognitive benefits to cope with his new stressful job. What would be a good move to make the situation less complicated and safer without compromising the testosterone therapy?
