Open Door Policy
It may be tempting on a
chilly winter morning to
warm your car engine with
the garage door closed. But
to do so, warns the Texas
Safety Association, is to court
death.
Carbon monoxide poison-
ing can quickly overcome you
in a closed space. It is odor-
less, tasteless, colorless and
difficult to detect. TSA urges
that you do yourself a favor
of life and warm your engine
with the garage door wide
open.

The battle against hyperten-
sion ... If you have high blood
pressure and do nothing about
it, you may be shortening your
life span by as much as 20 years.
This is the message the Na-
tional High Blood Pressure Edu-
cation Program has been trying
to bring home to the American
people for the last two years.
There are an estimated 23 million
Americans with “essential hyper-
tension.” “Essential” indicates
that the problem doesn’t seem
to have an identifiable cause and
that it may simply have existed at
birth. Of these victims, approxi-
mately one half are unaware that
they have the affliction, and only
one fifth of the total are receiv-
ing suitable treatment.
Statistics show that high blood
pressure, or hypertension, kills:
every year 60,000 Americans die
as a result of essential hyperten-
sion, and 1,500,000 more suffer
heart attacks or strokes caused in
part by high blood pressure.
The word “hypertension”
means that the blood pressure in-
side the arteries is consistently
high, corroding the vessels and
pounding away at the heart,
brain, and kidneys. Even when
hypertensives try to relax, they
can’t. Many victims describe
hypertension as a feeling of be-
ing “wound up like a clock” or
“tight as a violin string.”
Unfortunately, most hyperten-
sives show no symptoms of the
disease until it is well advanced.
Then, they risk the possibility
of heart failure, shortness of
breath, swollen ankles, visual dis-
turbances, and kidney problems.
The only sure way to detect the
disease is to have a blood-pres-
sure reading taken, and the only
certain means of controlling the
problem, once discovered, is
through drug therapy.
“It’s very easy to measure
blood pressure,” explains James
A. Schoenberger, M.D., professor
and chairman of preventive medi-
cine at Hush Presbyterian-St.
Luke’s Medical Center, in Chi-
cago.“The difficulty comes in
reaching the people and in moti-
vating them to take their medica-
tion—because of the side effects
occasionally experienced.”
Habits themselves contribute
to high blood pressure, although
they are not a cause of it. Doctors
believe that an excessive intake
of salt may spur the development
of hypertension. Your chances of
becoming hypertensive increase,
too, if you are overweight and,
say some researchers, if you
smoke, or if you include too much
fat in your diet. There also ap-
pears to be a strong genetic tie:
The children of parents with high
blood pressure tend to be afflic-
ted with hypertension.
The use of drugs to lower blood
pressure has been the most sig-
nificant advance in treatment of
hypertension in the past couple
of decades. The drugs are: diu-
retics, which lower the sodium
content of the bloodstream; mild
sedatives, such as reserpine or
the Rauwolfia drugs; and gan-
glionic blocking agents, which
tame the nerve ends.
Finally, doctors sternly advo-
cate a relax-and-slow-down life
style for hypertensives.
