Most Commonly Asked Questions!
How does infection occur?
Harmful (pathogenic) viruses, bacteria, and fungi can enter the body through multiple routes.
The most common route of entry is the respiratory system followed by the digestive system.
After the organisms have gained entry into our body, a certain amount of time elapses when it multiplies in numbers, this period is termed the 'incubation period'.
Symptoms of the disease develop after this period, depending on the organ systems involved.
What are the early signs of Heart attack?
- Chest Pain
- Radiation of pain from chest to left hand
- sweating
- Shortness of breath
- Heart burn
- Jaw, neck or back pain
Note: All symptoms need not to be present in an individual. And may vary according to age and diabetic status.
What are the common allergic reactions?
Allergy is an inappropriate immune response to certain material in our environment and does not equate to a weak immune system.
Allergens: These are the environmental triggers that produce the allergic reaction example - dust, pollen, animal dander, dust mites, foods such as - peanuts, shellfish, tree nuts, etc
The symptoms depend on the part of the body exposed like skin rashes, stuffy nose, asthma, diarrhea, etc.
Anaphylactic reaction: This is a fulminant allergic reaction occurring in some individuals to specific triggers like bee stings, peanuts, etc. Symptoms include the rapid progression of rashes, swelling of the respiratory tract, and fall in BP. This condition is life-threatening and needs prompt treatment.
Is Diabetes and BP correlated?
Technology has brought about easy access to calorie-rich and processed food and reduced physical activity which has resulted in a constellation of disorders known as Metabolic Syndrome:
Obesity: Particularly central (abdominal) and visceral (fat deposits on internal abdominal organs) obesity.
Diabetes: The abdominal organ pancreas produces insulin, which helps our muscles use glucose, derived from food. Long term consumption of calorie-rich food and loss of muscle mass due to reduced physical activity, results in a state of insulin resistance.
Hypertension: The increased pressure exerted on the walls of our arteries by blood is called hypertension which occurs due to the intake of salt-rich food, stress, lack of physical exercise, and age-related stiffness of our arteries.
Dyslipidemia: Deranged lipid levels result from a combination of inappropriate diet, physical inactivity, and genetic characteristics.
