Among individuals with high blood pressure, COVID-19 has disproportionately affected underserved racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, according to a report recently published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. This report draws on the work of several sources, including a diverse group of experts that discussed this matter as well as rectification strategies at the recent Fourth Annual University of Utah Translational Hypertension Symposium. The results of a nationwide blood pressure study of more than 50,000 adults show that a decrease in the numbers of people with healthy blood pressure levels is linked with inadequate health care and insurance. From 2017 to 2018, 40% to 46% of insured Americans had healthy blood pressure, compared with 22% of those who were uninsured. Compared with White adults, Black adults had a 12% lower likelihood for healthy blood pressure. The threshold for high blood pressure in this study was above 140/90 mmHg. Continue Rea...

Wheezing is a sensation that occurs when a person breathes through obstructed airways. Some people find that their wheezing gets worse when lying down. This can occur because lying down may adversely affect the ability of the chest to rise and fall, making it difficult to breathe. Lying down may also cause problems with mucus drainage from the nose, which could trigger a cough. Wheezing is a common symptom of asthma, allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and obstructive sleep apnea. In this article, we will take a closer look at the potential causes of wheezing when lying down and their treatments. We will also provide tips on how to sleep while experiencing this symptom. Asthma is a chronic condition that affects over 300 million people worldwide. It is characterized by coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath. It is common for asthma symptoms to affect people at night. This is known as nocturnal asthma. The symptoms of nocturnal asthma can includ...

"Congenital heart defect" is another way of saying someone's heart had a problem at birth. The heart may have had a small hole in it or something more severe. Although these can be serious conditions, many can be treated with surgery. In some cases, doctors can find these problems in a baby before it's born. Sometimes, it's diagnosed in childhood or when you're an adult. If you or your baby has a congenital heart defect, there might not be symptoms until adulthood, or there might be no symptoms at all. Causes Doctors don't always know why a baby has a congenital heart defect. They tend to run in families, and the chances of having congenital heart defects rises if a parent or any relatives have problems. Other things that make these defects more likely include: Problems with genes or chromosomes in the child, such as Down syndrome . With certain gene changes, a baby's chances of having a defect can go up by as much as 50%. Smoking or a...

Beyond the heart, excess salt can strain the kidneys. Part of their function is to excrete salt, Laffer said. "But the kidneys, in hypertension, may not excrete salt appropriately. They may hold onto it." That can lead to problems ranging from swollen ankles to fluid buildup around the heart and lungs.
