INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It’s normal to occasionally feel dizzy when you stand up, but if it occurs frequently or lasts longer than a few seconds, see your doctor. They will do a physical exam and take a medical history, check your blood pressure, and possibly do some lab tests or an ECG to try to figure out a cause. See your doctor right away if you become so dizzy upon standing that you pass out. Often, your regular doctor can figure out what is causing your orthostatic hypotension with a blood test. They can check your blood sample to see if there’s a problem with your thyroid, adrenal gland, or nervous system, and to see if you’re anemic. If you notice that you have symptoms of hypotension – dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, confusion, blurry vision, weakness, or passing out – start to keep a journal. Record what symptoms you experience and how long they last. Note what you were doing right beforehand and earlier that day, such as exercising or being in the sun. Take this record with you to your doctor’s office. Some people get low pressure after they eat. Take note if your symptoms occur after a meal. It’s normal to experience low blood pressure when you’re pregnant because of the changes your body goes through to accommodate for the baby. Usually, your blood pressure will return to normal after you give birth. Talk to your doctor about it if your symptoms last longer than a few seconds or make you so dizzy you feel like you might faint or fall. Sometimes, postural hypotension can be a sign that something is wrong with how your heart is working. Valve problems, slow heart rate, heart failure, and a history of heart attack can all limit how well your heart works and cause low blood pressure when you stand up. Ask your doctor for a referral to a heart specialist, or cardiologist. Cardiologists can do special tests to check your heart valves and see how well your heart pumps blood.

SUMMARY: Visit your doctor. Get a blood test done. Keep a diary of your symptoms. Recognize hypotension during pregnancy. See a cardiologist to check your heart health.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Call and set up an appointment with your healthcare provider to see if Victoza is a good choice for you. Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any allergies you have, and about any medications you are currently taking. If you do not have diabetes, Victoza may still help you lose weight if you have metabolic damage or leptin resistance. However, since the FDA has only approved the use of Victoza for treating people with Type 2 diabetes, your insurance (in the U.S.) may not cover it if you do not have Type 2 diabetes. The Victoza pen contains 18 mg of medication. Depending on your case, your healthcare provider may prescribe you a 0.6, 1.2, or 1.8 mg dosage. However, your healthcare provider may start you on an even lower dosage to see how your body reacts to the medication first. Victoza lowers your blood sugar by slowing the food that is leaving your stomach, preventing your liver from producing too much sugar, and by producing more insulin when your blood sugar is high. It is an injectable, non-insulin medication that should be taken once a day. It can be taken with other diabetes medications, including insulin. Possible side effects include decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, and constipation.

SUMMARY: Ask your healthcare provider about Victoza. Get a Victoza prescription. Learn how Victoza works.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Those who are abuse victims often continue the cycle by abusing others. Their behavior likely has little to do with you and is mostly caused by their past. They may not know any other way than what they are doing. Suggest that the person abusing you seek professional help. You likely know how helpful talking to someone can be, as you may do it yourself because of your depression. Therapy may help this person heal from their past and stop the abuse. People who feel overlooked or weak in certain areas of their lives may feel the need to seek power and control in others. The feelings that are created during the abuse may give this person the ego boost they need in order to handle feeling unrecognized in other aspects of their life. For example, if the abuser is talked down to by their friends, never gets a promotion at work, or is treated poorly by their family, they may look to you as their source of power. Abusing and having control over you may be compensation for not receiving the treatment they feel they deserve. You likely understand how having poor mental health can take complete control over your life, as a person with mental illness yourself. Someone who has a mental illness may not realize that what they are doing is inappropriate or may not be able to handle their emotions. By no means does this mean what they are doing is right, but it may not be something they can help. Those with anger management issues are often unable to control their explosive emotions and can take it out on others in the form of abuse. Additionally, people who have drug or alcohol problems may resort to abuse because they aren’t capable of handling how they feel. Abusers are often insecure. They may feel jealous of the person they abuse and exhibit the horrible behavior to make that person feel just as bad as they do. They may also do it because they feel it’s the only way to keep the person near them.  For instance, in domestic relationships, the abuser may feel so badly about themselves they fear their partner is going to leave them. They exhibit mental and emotional abuse as a way to control the partner and ultimately stop them from seeing other people and potentially leaving them. Try having friends and family who witness the abuse mention to the abuser that what they are doing is not okay. This will help to make them more aware of how they are behaving.

SUMMARY: Find out if abuser was a victim of abuse. Determine if they crave power. Take note of any mental illness the abuser might have. Examine the abuser’s self-esteem.
