INTRODUCTIONStress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that
disturbs our physical or mental equilibrium. A little bit of stress, known as “acute stress,”
can be exciting—it keeps us active and alert. A long-term, or “chronic stress,” can have
detrimental effects on health.The difference between "stress" and "a
stressor" - a stressor is an agent or stimulus that causes stress. Stress is the feeling we have when under pressure, while stressors are the things we respond to in our environment.
Stressors cannot be control but our reaction towards them can be changed.

WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?
•Excessive pressure of blood against the walls of arteries
•Ruptured arteries to the heart can result in a Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
•Ruptured arteries to the brain can cause a cerebral hemorrhage (Stroke)
![Page 13: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Systolic-force against the arterial walls when the heart contracts and blood is pumped out.
Diastolic-force against the arterial walls when the heart is relaxed.

Hypertension:- treatment (medication)
Thiazide diuretics. Diuretics, sometimes called water pills, are medications that act on your kidneys to help your body eliminate sodium and water, reducing blood volume.
Beta blockers. These medications reduce the workload on your heart and open your blood vessels, causing your heart to beat slower and with less force.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. These medications help relax blood vessels by blocking the formation of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. People with chronic kidney disease may benefit from ACE inhibitors as one of their medications.
Vasodilators. These medications work directly on the muscles in the walls of your arteries, preventing the muscles from tightening and your arteries from narrowing.

What is infertility?Infertility is the inability of a person, animal or plant to reproduce by natural means. It is usually not the natural state of a healthy adult organismCommon cause of infertility in females:-• ovulation problems • age-related factors
![Page 21: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Common cause of infertility in males:-• low semen quality • Hormone imbalance• Blockage of man’s ducts system

STRESS AND INFERTILITY
• Stress plays a great role in causing infertility like those who were most stressed were 20% less likely to achieve fertilization success• high levels of a stress hormone stop ovulating and
are therefore unable to conceive.• It is found that high levels of the hormone cortisol
is linked to stress which results in infertility• The main cause of male infertility is
sperm abnormalities, including low sperm production
• The researchers found that men who experienced two or more stressful life events in the past year had a lower percentage of sperm motility

Diabetes Mellitus
The name “diabetes mellitus means sweet urine. It stems from ancient times when physicians would taste a patients urine as a part of a diagnosis.
![Page 34: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What’s Occurring in the body?
Our body uses a hormone called insulin to handle glucose, which is a simple sugar that’s a main source of energy. In diabetes, something goes wrong in the body so that you can not produce insulin or are not sensitive to it. That means that your body produces high levels of blood glucose, which acts on organs to produce the symptoms of the disease.
![Page 35: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Development of Type 2
Glucose is a simple sugar that provides energy to all cells in the body
The cells take in glucose from the blood and break it down for energy, most of this is used for fuel.
Glucose come from the food you eat
![Page 36: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Development of Type 2
Glucose gets absorbed from the intestines and distributed by the bloodstream to all cells.
The body tries to maintain a constant glucose concentration in the blood.
So, when you over supply on glucose, your body stores the excess in the liver and muscles by making glycogen
When glucose is in short supply, the body makes glucose from stored glycogen or from the food that’s been eaten.
![Page 37: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
To maintain a constant blood glucose level, the body relies on two hormones produced in the pancreas that have opposite actions: insulin and glucagon.
![Page 38: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Who gets Type 2 Diabetes?
•People who are overweight•Have a parent or sibling with diabetes•Are 40 years of age•Have high blood pressure•Are African America, Latino, or Native American•Had diabetes during pregnancy•Have the stress of an illness or injury•Had a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds at birth.

Symptoms of DiabetesType 2 diabetes is often without
symptoms in its early stages. That’s the reason there are 40% of people with Type 2 diabetes are unaware of their disease. When there are symptoms, they may occur gradually. If present, they usually are:
Feeling tired and weakPassing large volumes of urine,
especially during the night Having frequent infections Having blurred eyesight Weight-lossExcessive hunger and thirst
![Page 40: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
RISK FACTORS!
If left untreated this, Diabetes can cause many life threatening complications:
BlindnessChronic Renal Failure= kidney failureAtherosclerosis= heart attacks and
strokeDiabetic Neuropathy= numbness and
pain to hands and feetFoot UlcersAutonomic Neuropathy= diarrhea,
rapid heart beat, and low blood pressure
![Page 41: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Risk Factors!Coma or death may occur as a
result in Diabetic Ketoacidosis (caused by infection)
People who smoke are a much higher risk at heart attacks, stroke, infections, and problems with poor circulation
![Page 42: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Treatment for Type 2Because there are several defects in
the body's chemistry that develop as Type 2 diabetes changes over time, there are many tools used to treat it. In its earliest stages, Type 2 diabetes can often be controlled effectively by becoming more active and by managing food to reduce the body's need for insulin. This may involve promoting a modest amount of weight loss, controlling and distributing carbohydrate intake through the day, or both.
![Page 43: Major signs and symptoms of stress](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55c58105bb61eb752c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Treatment for Type 2
When the disease has progressed to the point where blood sugars are not controlled by activity and food management alone, several types of oral medications (pills) and/or insulin may be used singly or in combination to regain blood glucose control. Their effectiveness is judged by testing the blood sugar periodically throughout the day.
