Low Blood Pressure - Why is Your Blood Pressure Low?

Why is your blood pressure low?

As a doctor with an interest in the subject, I'm often asked if a low blood pressure is normal or if such a reading indicates some abnormal process in the body? In fact - it can be difficult to precisely define what we mean by low BP. It all really depends on what's normal for you as an individual.

If 1000 people had their readings measured then we might expect to find a spread of readings. These might range from as high as 200 / 120 down to 80 / 50 with most people clustering around a level of around 130 / 85. Most of these people would have no symptoms of any kind - no matter what their reading actually was. Even those with obviously low numbers would be free of any symptoms in most cases.

The answer to whether it is normal or abnormal to have a low reading depends on what your own typical or average BP level is.

Here's an example of when it's normal to have low blood pressure.

If, for the whole of your life, you've always had readings of around 90 / 50 - then without doubt you have "low blood pressure" but there is truly nothing wrong with you or with your reading. You should be pleased that your risk of stroke or heart attack will be much less than many others. You're not likely to experience any symptoms from your "low BP." Putting it simply - your level is normal for you and needs no investigation or treatment. This kind of "normal low BP" will not cause you any symptoms and will need no treatment. It's just part of you and how your system works.

So, when might it be an abnormal finding?

If your BP is usually around 130 / 80 and suddenly or gradually drops to a level around 90 / 50 then it's very likely that you'll become aware of symptoms related to this change. As in the above example you have "low blood pressure" but in this instance it is not normal for you to have readings this low. You may need to see your doctor for tests because it's quite likely that some other disease or perhaps a medication has caused your reading to drop. Someone who develops low numbers like this will often experience symptoms such as those listed below.

The symptoms of an abnormally low BP level can include:

Feeling light headed, feeling dizzy, being tired or feeling fatigue on exertion, fainting, transient blurring of vision, or transient confusion. All of these low blood pressure symptoms will resolve if the blood pressure returns to normal.

The following are among the many possible causes of low blood pressure when it is abnormally low:

Medications for anxiety, medications for blood pressure, heart medications, diuretics or "water tablets" and some anti-depressant medications. Other medication related causes are painkillers and alcohol - particularly if these two are mixed together!

Non medication causes of include dehydration, heart disease and heart valve disease, recent heart attack, changes in heart rhythm, bacterial infection in the system, kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus and hemorrhage or bleeding.

As you can see, the above list of the causes is extensive and you should consult with your doctor if you are concerned in any way. Above all - don't try to diagnose your own condition - seek help if you are worried.

A low BP reading is not likely to do you any serious harm but it can leave you feeling pretty miserable.

Defining Digital Marketing

We have been hearing a lot about digital marketing these days and how it is absolutely necessary to have one for any business. Just like how internet users grow minute after minue, new and traditional business owners and brand managers are now exploring online opportunities through running a digital marketing campaign. With this exploration of online opportunities comes the basic question in the minds of business owners, brand managers and the likes - What is digital marketing?

Here comes the tricky part: so many sets of information are available online that it has become quite a challenge to filter out the good and accurate definitions, more so to arrive in one complete and substantial definition. In fact, when you type in the phrase "Digital Marketing" in Google, you will see around 504,000,000 results. That would mean millions of varying interpretations and definitions on the same subject.

A good number of blogs and websites would say that digital marketing or online marketing is a type of marketing and sales approach that invovles the use of popular and authoritative online channels and websites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. in promoting a product or service; such approach increases traffic and popularity to their website and ultimately to their business. Therefore, online marketing as others would say is the type of marketing that enables a business to reach a mass audience in the shortest possible time using popular online platforms.

Aside from appearing in popular social media pages, others closely associate online marketing with a dominating online presence. A dominating online presence is usually determined by the webpage's rank in the popular Search Engine Results Page (SERP), such approach is referred to as Search Engine Optimization.

On the other hand, other practitioners focus on the "ends" or the outcome of the campaign in defining digital marketing. They say it is one of the most convenient ways of measuring online sales and conversion of website visitors. Because of the technology involved, business owners are able to easily measure how they score with their target consumers. A lot of software and services (for free or for a fee) are being offered to accurately measure website hits, unique page views, likes, shares, comments, Tweets, and even sales. Thanks to the internet, online business owners can now conveniently measure their reach in detail, so they would know if a campaign is working as planned.

While all explanations mentioned above are correct, each is just an aspect of a greater and more complete definition:

We define Digital Marketing as a branch of marketing that makes use of integrated digital technologies to disseminate communication that is targeted and measurable with the end goal of acquiring and building relationships with new and existing customers.

If you carefully disect the definition above you will find that each word used is indispensable in determining the true essence of digital marketing. Through integrated digital technologies, businesses are able to promote their campaigns and reach the masses with just a couple of clicks. The advancement of technology, the way people react and use them at an amazingly fast rate and a business' ability to adjust and adapt to the way technology changes the marketing landscape connects the business to its consumers like never before.

This type of marketing campaign should be integrated in such a way that multiple avenues are utilized in a harmonious manner to work towards one goal - to reach and communicate to a "targeted" online market. With the opportunity to engage and build a strong relationship with the consumers as the most important benefit of running a digital marketing campaign, businesses now are able to interact and connect with consumers real-time.

Brand Protection - 3 Reasons It Is Necessary

As a business, your brand identity is one of your most precious assets. It is ultimately what separates you from other competitors within the industry, giving you a sense of uniqueness in what is often a crowded marketplace. Brand protection through trade mark registration is the only way to ensure you are able to preserve the integrity of your brand. To emphasise this point, here are some of the core reasons underpinning the essential need for brand protection in a commercial context.

For Deterring Competitors

The beauty of trade mark registration is that this information is made available on a public database for all to view. This means that any firms who were considering taking a markedly similar route with their brand will likely think twice before doing so. Rather than becoming involved in a dispute over intellectual property, incumbent firms will simply choose something which has yet to be registered.

This deterrent aspect of brand protection is a powerful tool in preserving your identity. Halting any potential conflict in its tracks before it has the chance to properly emerge will save you the time and expense of having to enter into a legal dispute to protect your brand if it is not registered.

Easier Than the Alternative

By this I mean that protecting an unregistered trademark is significantly more difficult than protecting a registered one. If you have engaged in brand protection prior to any infringement occurring you only need to demonstrate a similarity between yours and the offending mark. The standard for this is whether the two brands are confusingly similar. This will be decided on a case by case basis, with the burden of proof resting on the firm promoting the unregistered mark to prove they are sufficiently dissimilar.

Brand protection is still possible for companies who have not registered their intellectual property, it is just more difficult. They must themselves prove that the general public are not likely to be confused by the alleged similarities. Trade mark registration allows you to be free of this process, and ultimately makes it easier to safeguard the intellectual property of your brand.

Nothing Lasts Forever - Except Brand Protection

This statement is half true, in the sense that indefinite protection still requires the marks associated with your brand to be used on a regular basis. Your registration can continue in perpetuity, so long as you remember to renew it once a decade. It is also important to remember that any New Zealand based trademarks must be used at least once every three years to remain valid.

Provided these steps are followed, your firm will be able to enjoy the benefits of brand protection for as long as you wish to. This ability to differentiate yourself from your competitors for as long as you like, while holding the power to stop any new firms intruding on your intellectual property, is one of the most powerful tools your business has at their disposal.

Facebook Gaming

Facebook has altered the nature of online gaming. Many people, (like myself) have been quick to be dismissive of games, as time wasting, silly, pointless etc. Playing games on Facebook, however, has become another way of people connecting with one another Some Facebook users prefer to interact with their friends, family etc., primarily via playing games.

The tagging that Facebook allows makes for your circle who enjoy certain games to increase more and more.

Some of the most popular games on Facebook, have compatibility issues depending the platform you use to play them.. For the iPad and iPhone, playing via the browser is often not possible. However, the most popular games have Apps that you can download and so play the games on your both your iPad or iPhone.

Compatibility problems in the past deterred people from downloading these Apps but for the most part the former compatibility issues have been fixed. All you have to do is download the App extract it, synchronize it and run it.

The Biggest Hits

A few of the most popular Games are:

ANGRY BIRDS

Though not strictly a Facebook game, this game reached new heights after Facebook released it on its site. The App is available on both iPad and iPhone and has become a smash hit for their users.

It is both fun and relaxing as well, but for those who prefer to keep their brain active at the same time, this is a winner.

With Word Challenge the hours of fun also gives you something to take away from it with you into your daily life.

The Variety of Games

An Amazing, Hazy Look Into The Future

Sometimes we all sit and think. Sometimes we doodle with a pen. Do we ever look in depth at what we are thinking? I am amazed at the amount of people who say 'when the phone rang I knew it was you.' 'I was just going to call when you called.' 'I was just thinking of you and you rang me.' All now past and forgotten.

It may only happen a few times a year - but it happens. Try recording any event no matter how trivial either on a tape recorder or on a note pad each time it occurs, and date it. You may be one of thousands who can see something happening in the future - do not try and pre-date anything. Any future predicted events I have found can happen tomorrow or in eighteen months. At the beginning of this century we heard from the portrayers of doom and death, religious parties forecasting the end of the world. They have now amended their doctrine because the dates they predicted have passed.

I often wonder how many normal, average people in this world have had a thought or a vision in the past that has happened in the future. Perhaps now unrecorded and now long forgotten. It would be great to have a public notice board that registered some of the stronger thoughts and visions many of us experience though out our lives. Yes, it is now possible to do this on the web - a small two sentence prediction date recorded with a pseudonym. The psychic message board has had psychic predictions from you the public since 2003 with several startling predictions. The black mirror was introduced in 2004 - just a blank rectangular black picture from which your mind can project images. Your physical brain is somehow linked to your ethereal soul. The soul not having the physical restraints of the body and brain can move into the past, future, and other dimensions. Sometimes under calm or stressful situations the link is triggered and information released.

An even stronger bonding happens in times of stress and conflict. In a war great friendships emerge stronger than anything before. A man and wife going through life facing all bad and terrible things together as one, survive and become stronger as a couple. Psychic experiences are a part of life and soon forgotten. Try to remember a psychic happening in your own life, something now forgotten but still in memory. You will be surprised. Sit down; think of what is happening in the world and see if you can predict what may or not happen within the next year then write it down or visit the psychic notice board at http://www.allinterestbooks.co.uk. You may surprise and startle yourself! Keep living, facing all that life throws against you, and you will become a better person.

A free ebook 'THE THINKER' is available from the author revealing incidents from his own life and others that have occurred through the years. The majority of people today live a life chasing materialistic goals. The man made church over thousands of centuries has let us down. Outdated history of an age that is hard to visualise today. The only salvation is the teachings of the prophets. Teachings that try to shape our thinking and our ways. Teachings that offer to make everyone a better person. Try the black psychic mirror at http://www.allinterestbooks.co.uk and see if you can come up with a simple prediction for the future or read the THE THINKER - a FREE ebook psychologically exploring different aspects of life in a thought provoking way. A New look at life - Why am I here? Who am I? What am I? Life after death - personal psychic premonitions in Life! Asking the questions of life and questions invoking the sixth sense.

BUREAUCRATIC EURO-BUMBLEDOM

The European common market, a collection of trading nations is a wonderful idea. However, the power-seeking politicians who run this vast empire cannot leave it at that. They want to create laws for every nation, laws that are stupid, unmeaning. They want to create a vast empire, a super state. They are still pushing onward even though they cannot even create a fighter aircraft together- and how do all the pilots talk to one another if they are not linguists. What is being created is a large financial machine that spends money like water flowing over a waterfall. A huge European nation of created bureaucratic bumbledom. It is slowly creeping upon us - stay in the common market but keep out of the new super state.
