Altitude also has an effect on heart rate: The lower air pressure ensures that the body can absorb less oxygen. To compensate for this effect, the breathing rate increases and thus also the heart rate (see also “Oxygen binding curve“).36 ...

Symptoms:While many people with stage 2 hypertension might still not experience symptoms, those who do might notice headaches, vision problems, chest pain, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, and fatigue. Dangers:Stage 2 hypertension significantly elevates the risk of cardiovascular diseases like...
Along with body temperature, blood oxygen saturation and heart rate, blood pressure is another important vital sign that helps to gain an even deeper insight into a person’s health. Deviations from the normal values, especially if they deviate significantly upwards, are often the cause of many ...
Breathing reserve <15 l/min was taken as respiratory limitation. A blood sample was taken before exercise for N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) analysis (19). 2-dimensional and tissue Doppler echocardiography All subjects underwent full echocardiography examination with a GE ...
If you're able to add a few more minutes of snuggle time with your baby, bringing them close to your body more often can help lower your heart rate and your levels of the stress hormone cortisol – and in turn, help you feel more relaxed and calm. Try deep breathing or meditation ...
