HypertensionLoneliness drives up blood pressure

When people feel alone, affects the long-term effect on their blood pressure. Scientists see solitude as an independent risk factor for high blood pressure.

It was found that the initial values ??in the first two years is not significantly altered, but by the end of the observation period increased steadily. The highest increases in blood pressure increased in the loneliest study participants, but also those that were considered moderately lonely, after four years had higher blood pressure values.

What happens when the heart beats?

Approximately 60 – to 80-times a minute, pulls together a healthy heart muscle to relax again a bit later, and so pump the blood through the circulatory system. The fact that this rhythm of life is preserved, for it provides a mini power plant, the sinus node in the right ventricle. Regularly sends this little tendon network of electrical impulses that tell the heart to beat. The human heart thus has specialized cells that serve as one of the electrical impulse formation and, second, the propagation of these pulses over the entire heart muscle. Read more

Fatigue Syndrome

FatigueConcentration problems, weakness, fatigue, listlessness: fatigue symptoms can affect daily life considerably. The problem with fatigue: even with enough sleep are not the symptoms reduced.
