Low blood pressure (Hypotension) can be a natural state of affairs for some people, or can occur as a result of a medical condition or as a side effect of medication that is being taken. It is quite common for people to experience Postural Hypotension as they get older, with a feeling of dizziness after getting up quickly from a chair.
Unlike most medical conditions high blood pressure (known as Hypertension) rarely causes any obvious symptoms. As a result it can go on unnoticed and uncorrected for years, slowly causing damage to your heart, eyes, kidneys and blood vessels.
High blood pressure has been described as 'the Silent Killer" because it is the main risk factor for you having a stroke, a major factor in your chances of having a heart attack, heart failure or kidney disease, and is also involved in dementia.. but all of it's effects can be avoided by early detection and management. Charlotte and Steve will both be on hand to check your blood pressure.
Steve will be there to offer extra advice on how to effectively manage your blood pressure for anyone who is concerned about their results.
Charlotte Haynes
Charlotte is a recently retired registered general nurse. She has spent the majority of her career in the private sector managing a very successful care home for older adults with dementia. She was one of the first nurse managers in North Warwickshire to gain a diploma in dementia studies and apply the person centred care approach to her work place in 2004, long before this became common practice nationally. Her interests have always been in counselling and providing emotional support for her clients and relatives. She also recognised that these principles, when applied to her staff, helped reduce stress in the workplace. In turn this led to a happier and healthier staff group with improved health outcomes including lower blood pressure. Helping others reduce stress and anxiety is something that she is very passionate about.
Steve Lowe
Steve has a medical and scientific background, working within the NHS and in Private Practice. He is also a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, and has undertaken training in CBT, EMDR and Mindfulness. His main professional interests now lie in the fields of Health, Wellbeing and Communication, in particular helping others to understand how the Mind and Body work together and influence each other. Small changes in thinking, behaviour and mindset can create large changes in people's health, their experience of stress and anxiety and. consequently, their blood pressure.
The grip strength test is more than just a measure of how strong your handgrip or forearm muscles are. It has also been shown to be a good indicator of overall body strength.
Muscle strength is important for your health and well-being at any age, but even more so in later life. Your muscles reach their peak strength in the 20s to 30s, but then start to decline in your 40s, losing up to 10% a decade. A loss of muscle mass and strength significantly impacts on your ability to look after yourself in later life.
What else can grip strength tell you?
1. It's suggested grip strength may be linked to heart health.
2. It also gives an indication of how well you are eating and fuelling your body.
3. If you smoke, it will affect the ability of your body to build and maintain muscle quality.
4. It is a good predictor of mobility and frailty in later life.
5. It may be a good way of assessing 'biological age'.
6. Regular grip strengthening exercises have been found to lower blood pressure.
