The Importance of Addressing Hypertension with a Doctor Introduction: Hi everyone! Today, I want to talk about something that affects millions of people around the world—hypertension, or high blood pressure. It’s often called the ‘silent killer,’ and there’s a good reason for that. Many people don’t even know they have it until serious complications arise. But here’s the thing: managing hypertension doesn’t have to be overwhelming, especially when you work with your doctor. Let’s dive in!! What is Hypertension? Hypertension happens when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. Over time, this puts extra strain on your heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and even your brain. Left untreated, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and other life-threatening conditions. Why See a Doctor? Now, you might be thinking, ‘Can’t I just check my blood pressure at home?’ Home monitoring is great, but a doctor’s visit is essential for a few reasons: 1. Proper Diagnosis: High blood pressure can vary throughout the day. Your doctor can perform multiple readings and tests to confirm if you truly have hypertension. 2. Personalized Treatment: There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your doctor will create a plan tailored to your specific needs, which could include lifestyle changes, medications, or both. 3. Monitoring for Complications: High blood pressure can damage your organs without you even realizing it. A doctor can catch these early signs and intervene before things get worse.” What Happens if You Ignore Hypertension? Here’s where things get serious. If you ignore high blood pressure, it can silently damage your body over time. The risks include heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and even vision problems. By staying on top of it, you reduce these risks dramatically. Conclusion: Hypertension might be silent, but you don’t have to be. Talk to your doctor. Get your blood pressure checked regularly and take steps to manage it. Remember, small changes today can make a huge difference tomorrow. Thank you, and stay healthy

PEUT ON FAIRE DE L'ACTIVITÉ PHYSIQUE EN CAS D'ASTHME ?????? Les vertus sont les mêmes que pour la population générale, à savoir : - amélioration de l'humeur, - amélioration de la santé cardiovasculaire, - prévention des maladies chroniques. L'Activité Physique Adaptée (APA) est par définition adaptée à l'état de santé du patient puisqu'elle est encadrée par des professionnels formés. À partir du moment où l'asthme est bien contrôlé, le patient peut pratiquer tout type d'activité physique, même à haute intensité. ll est important d'écouter son corps et de ne pas dépasser ses limites. En cas de crise d'asthme ou de manque de contrôle, il est préférable de privilégier des exercices à basse intensité, le temps de retrouver un bon contrôle de sa maladie ». Chez un patient asthmatique, I'APA permet justement de retrouver du souffle. « Les données scientifiques montrent qu'en plus de participer au contrôle de l'asthme, l'APA entraîne une amélioration mesurable de la fonction respiratoire. Cela contribue également à une meilleure qualité de vie. C'est pourquoi il est essentiel d'éduquer et d'informer les patients, leur entourage, les médecins, les clubs sportifs et les éducateurs sur l'APA. Il faut briser les idées reçues selon lesquelles certaines activités physiques sont contre-indiquées pour les asthmatiques. »

De la toux aiguë à la toux chronique : bon à savoir La toux est un acte réflexe naturel, un mécanisme normal et bénéfique. Elle permet de protéger les voies aériennes supérieures, d’extérioriser l’intru qui les obstrue, qui peut être un liquide ou un autre composé. Elle est aiguë lorsqu’elle a une durée maximum de 8 semaines et est chronique au-delà de ces 8 semaines. Elle disparaît généralement en quelques semaines dans sa phase aigüe. Lorsqu’elle est chronique, elle peut être due notamment à de l’asthme, à une rhino-sinusite chronique ou plusieurs autres causes. Mais parfois, il s’agit d’une maladie à part entière aux causes inexpliquées. Le traitement de la toux repose sur sa cause qu’elle soit aiguë ou chronique.

Why Do People Use Traditional Healers in Mental Health Care in Zimbabwe Abstract Lazarus Kajawu, Sunungurai D Chingarande, Helen Jack, Catherine Ward and Tonya Taylor Introduction: In sub-Saharan Africa, including in Zimbabwe, 80% of the population continues to use African Traditional Medicine (ATM) as a source of primary health care that includes the treatment of mental illnesses, but little is known about what motivates their health seeking behaviour. The study aimed at understanding why patients use ATM treatment of mental disorders. Methods: Using exploratory qualitative methods in a semi-urban community near Harare, we conducted 30 indepth interviews with patients from ATM sites using convenience sampling, and three focus-group discussions with 18 participants from the community recruited from three food distribution depots in the settlement. Data were coded and analysed using the constant comparative method to identify key themes. Results: We found that patients preferred the use of ATM for witchcraft, religious, psychological and psychosocial conditions and believed the causes of their sickness stemmed from witchcraft. Many patients reported high levels of confidence and satisfaction with the ATM received. Conclusion: The findings suggest that supernatural and psychosocial factors play a major role in health seeking behaviour of the communities. Therefore, ATM is a relevant point of referral and rehabilitation for mental health patients and ATM should be integrated with BM.
