High Blood Pressure Symptom In Man

Heart attack: Men at a higher risk than women

Every third person is suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes or preliminary heart disease, said Prof Arifur Rehman Khan at a seminar organised by Dr Essa’s Laboratory and Diagnostic Centre on managing Ischemic heart disease. “Pakistani men are at a greater risk than women. They suffer from obesity, excessive smoking, uncontrollable blood pressure and diabetes. They should avoid the high consumption of fat as well.”

Discussing the sedentary lifestyle adopted by a large chunk of the population, Khan claimed that the people might hold degrees, but they are not educated.

“I recently operated on a 42-year-old man. After the operation I told his family, including his brothers to avoid fatty foods and exercise but they refused to listen,” he said. “They kept informing me that my patient required the surgery as he was a diagnosed heart patient and since they were not, there was no need for them to avoid the fatty food.” Khan failed to understand why his patient’s family refused to acknowledge how their brother became a heart patient in the first place.

Khan, who heads the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), claims that statistics show that the NICVD performs more than 1,500 open heart surgeries in a year along with a total of 2,200 coronary artery bypasses, bowel replacements and surgeries for congenital diseases in children. Talking to The Express Tribune about the frequency of young patients, Khan claimed that he has had cases of heart attacks in people as young as 20 years old. “I see one or two patients from the 20- to 30-year-old age group every month. It is an alarming situation, we need to refocus our priorities right away,” he said.

Erectile Dysfunction Causes and Symptoms and Treatment and ...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) thus is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner.

Erectile dysfunction may sometimes be even termed as “impotence”. The term “erectile dysfunction” can mean the inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to achieve only brief erections.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is an inability of generating and maintaining erection hard enough to penetrate. Many reasonable treatment options exist. Your first step is to find a well-trained, experienced, and compassionate doctor who is willing to take the time to understand you and fully discuss the treatments available to you.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a fairly common condition affecting men worldwide. Though the term ED covers a wide range of disorders, it commonly refers to having trouble getting or maintaining an erection.

ED is not uncommon and its incidence increases with progressive age. It was formerly called impotence and its incidence increases in ages above 65.

Persistent ED has a significant impact on the man’s self-image as well as on his partner’s sex-life. Indeed for many men & their partner this can be a frustrating problem as the penis is unable to become sufficiently rigid and performing intercourse may seem impossible.

Erectile dysfunction also referred to as impotence, is a man’s inability to attain or sustain a successful erection, sufficient for normal satisfying sexual intercourse. 

Impotence can be caused by physiological disturbances, psychological factors and other problems. Nearly every man experiences impotence at some point.

If you are not chronically impotent – if you can achieve erection at certain situation, it’s likely that your problem is due to psychological factors.

Diet for Erectile Dysfunction The diet for dealing with Erectile Dysfunction should focus on the inclusion of foods rich in fiber, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E.

Papaya, watermelon, ginger, onion, garlic, coconut water, spinach, carrots and a variety of other fruits and vegetables are highly recommended in this regard. Besides, restrict the consumption of foods high in carbohydrates.

Foods with high amounts of sodium and sugar should also be avoided as much as possible. Needless to add, quit unhealthy habits such as smoking, alcoholism and tobacco abuse. Instead, adopt healthy habits like drinking adequate amount of water throughout the day and engaging in regular physical activities.
