Hypertension and obesity are dangerous health conditions that can cause multiple other health complications. Especially during the coronavirus pandemic, it is even more important to keep both in check because they are comorbid conditions of COVID-19 and can make it fatal.
So, Dr Ketan L Pakhale (Bariatric Physician and specialist in Metabolism Syndrome) delivered a webinar on hypertension and obesity recently. He explained several concepts related to hypertension and obesity so that we all can understand these disorders better and take the right action at the right time.
Metabolic syndrome is a health condition in which three of the following disorders occur simultaneously in a person-
So what does it mean if a person has metabolic syndrome? These people are more likely to develop heart disorders such as heart attack or cardiac arrest. According to a survey, nearly 60% of people have this syndrome.
Dr Pakhale stresses the need of taking metabolic syndrome seriously because it is a cluster of major diseases.
Hypertension means a rise in blood pressure. According to older guidelines issued by the American Heart Association, if blood pressure exceeds 120/80 mm of Hg, then it can damage your heart. But today, the person’s physical condition, age, lifestyle choices, medical history and the presence of certain symptoms such as chest pain, headache or breathlessness will determine if the person has hypertension.
If you are diagnosed with hypertension, you will be prescribed medicines, and you will constantly need to monitor your blood pressure.
Our lives are stressful, and it is the primary cause of hypertension. During the COVID-19 lockdown, stress has reached an all-time high. Anxiety about the loss of income, stressful conditions at home, worrying about the health of your loved ones can increase your blood pressure.
People who chew tobacco or smoke for long periods are likely to develop hypertension. Alcohol intake is another definitive cause of hypertension.
Being overweight leads to hypertension. It is a vicious cycle. Obesity causes hypertension, which in turn is linked to diabetes and dyslipidemia. And you can also develop metabolic syndrome. You may also develop kidney complications, thyroid disorders, PCOD etc.
Spicy foods that people usually love are bad news for their blood pressure. Soft drinks are also toxic for your body because of the presence of excessive sugar and preservatives (chemicals).
High salt intake is also linked to hypertension because sodium causes water retention. It makes people crave fatty foods cooked in refined oils, which are not good for your health at all.
Food sweeteners used in desserts, ice creams, beverages also need to be avoided as much as possible. You can consume them in moderation. But if you consume too many sweeteners, it can make you obese and give you hypertension.
In women, menopause is another reason that might cause hypertension.
1 out of every 2 Indians is obese. It increases the likelihood of premature death. In India, obesity is still not acknowledged as a major disease.
Obesity is excess visceral fat. When fats accumulate in your body, the cells are packed closely together and this cuts off the oxygen supply.
This can lead to hypertension, PCOD and diabetes. Even children can become obese, and in the future, they too will develop the above-mentioned illnesses or even cancer. Obesity also makes people feel insecure about their looks and they may even suffer social stigma.
However, if you lose weight, it will immediately reduce the risk of contracting other dangerous illnesses. It has also been observed that with proper weight control measures, people were able to stop taking medicines for hypertension, diabetes and antidepressants.
When you consume more food than you need and your energy expenditure is low, it leads to obesity.
Obesity is preventable, reversible and treatable.
People with obesity can also opt for bariatric surgery. But afterwards, they need to be careful about their diet or they might become malnourished.
Maintaining your metabolic health is the key to a life free of health complications. Now, more than ever, we need to be utterly cautious about what we eat, our physical activities and our lifestyle choices. With proper measures, metabolic syndrome can be kept at bay.
Q. Can hypothyroidism be caused by grief over the loss of a loved one?
Ans. Hypertension can be caused by the stress and trauma triggered by the demise of a loved one. But it is temporary and with medication, proper diet and physical exercise and meditation, it can be taken care of.
Sometimes hypertension can result in hypothyroidism.

Nail biting, a common habit in about 20-30% of the population, can be caused by stress, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or just being bored. It can be a temporary behaviour, but it can also develop into a severe, long term problem. Nail biting, medically termed as Onychophagia, can be characterized by seemingly uncontrollable nail-biting that is destructive to fingernails as well as the surrounding tissue.
What happens if you bite your nails?
People who frequently bite their nails may experience both psychological and physical symptoms like:

Why do we bite our nails?
Nail biting when encountered in healthy children is usually temporary and does not last very long. Educating children, parents, teachers, and siblings could be helpful, applying bitter nail polish, bandages or gloves temporarily can help as well in some cases.
Dr. Ashish Bajaj, M.B.B.S., M.D.
What are the long-term effects of nail-biting?
A lot of people have nervous habits such as pacing or fidgeting. While a lot of these are harmless, but nail-biting when stressed or anxious exposes you to several ailments.
Your nails are an ideal dwelling place for several germs. When you bite your nails, these bacteria travel from the mouth to the gut, causing stomach infections that lead to diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
It may seem harmless, but it can increase the risk of bacterial or fungal infection entering your blood, and that could lead to cold or flu.
If you bite off a big piece of your nail, you can expose the delicate skin under your nail to any bacteria or pathogens in your mouth. One of the most common infections called paronychia causes pain, redness and pus-filled lumps.
Your saliva’s chemical composition allows it to break down fat and other food molecules. While that aids your digestion, but it can also damage and inflame the skin of your fingertips if you are constantly jamming them in your mouth.
Your nails have a layer, called the matrix, from where the nail grows. Biting can damage this matrix, causing nail deformities or chronic ingrown nails.
If you pick warts, contagious material can get into your nails and when you touch your face or neck, you can end up with warts on your neck and face.
Chronic nail biting can deform or destroy the sockets that hold your teeth. It can also fracture your teeth and trigger gum diseases. Also, it doesn’t leave your hand looking aesthetically pleasing but rather more damaged.
Not all nail biting is pathological, and the difference between harmful obsession and normal behavior is should always be done. Sometimes it’s classified as impulse control disorder.
Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD
How can you stop biting your nails?
You may not be able to change your habit overnight, but with a little time and effort, you’re sure to overcome it.

How many of us are guilty of pushing our feelings and emotions out of the way to appear normal? The answer would be most of us. Many of us repress our feelings of frustration, anger, sadness or fear as they make us feel hopeless or powerless.
To gain a semblance of control, we either deny ourselves our true emotions or repress them to deal with the situation at hand. However, this is not a healthy habit as the stress gets stored in our body and comes to light in the form of mysterious aches and pains. This is known as ‘somatization’.
Experts suggest that we must accept and acknowledge our feelings and never disown what we are going through. The unwanted feelings create psychosomatic responses in our bodies leading to recurring pains and other mysterious ailments. Read on to find out about 12 places where your body stores stress and how it affects your health:
Stressors have a major influence on mood, our sense of well-being, behavior, and health. Seeking medical attention at the earliest appearance of the signs and symptoms of stress and the accompanied depression, anxiety and mood changes can help to cope up with the situation.
Dr. Ashish Bajaj – M.B.B.S, M.D.
Our lower backs store most of our unexpressed anger. Many people develop severe and debilitating pain in the lumbar region of the back. Chronic stress activates the sympathetic nervous system that puts pressure on the spinal cord. To offer some relief to your tired body, learn to express your anger in clear, simple terms and articulate your frustration to the concerned people. Over a period of time, you will learn how to use your anger to fuel your personal and creative growth. Assert yourself to give yourself control over the situation. This will lead to healthier relationships and a healthier body, especially your back.
There is a reason why people lose control over their bladders or their bowels when they are scared. Our stomachs and intestines store our feelings of fear. The adage, ‘I am sick to my stomach’ justifies this. Fear is another negative emotion that has far-reaching repercussions on our health. It can cause digestion problems, pain in the gut, bloating, constipation and even Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Peppermint tea helps in calming the stomach. Also, accept your fear and the reasons why you are feeling it and talk to someone you trust to get a hold of yourself. Research believes that if you talk about your fears openly, it has lesser control over your health.
Our chests and our hearts store the hurt that we experience through the actions of others. Those who repress their feelings of hurt, usually complain of mysterious chest pains. In most cases, no physical cause of pain is diagnosed. Stress leads to shallow breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Some people even experience panic attacks. Deep breathing exercises bring relief to chest tightness and reduce anxiety. Mourn your losses, and honour your feelings by experiencing them to the fullest, even if they are of sadness or hurt. Once you have allowed yourself to feel what demands to be felt, you will feel lighter, as will your chest and your heart.
Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to life experiences however Chronic stress can cause negative health effects on your mood, immune and digestive systems, and cardiovascular health and is the leading cause of Type 2 Diabetes nowadays.
Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD
Do you feel out of control and then immediately suffer from headaches? This is because any feelings that make us feel that we are losing control over our lives or the situation lead to affecting our heads. The problem becomes a recurring theme in the lives of those who are control-freaks and may even turn into a chronic problem of migraines.
Our breaths have a way of signalling our state of mind. If we are calm, our breaths are deep whereas if we are under stress, we have shallow breaths. Those who face too much stress over a period of time tend to suffer from breathing difficulties. Many people begin having panic attacks. Practice deep breathing exercises to train your mind to stay calm.
If you have been feeling overburdened, you will feel a tightening of the shoulders and the neck muscles. This is a natural psychosomatic response of the body to overwork and too many responsibilities. Try to share your work with someone else or ask for support to reduce pressure on yourself and your body.
Those who have faced an oppressive environment tend to have issues with their voices and throats. Many develop stammering problems. Some even lose their voice completely. Reading poetry aloud and keeping a journal have known to help those who suffer from voice and throat problems.
Another area that gets affected by stress is our sleep cycle. Insomnia hits those who are dealing with intense personal growth or some life-impacting change, tend to lose their sleep. A long period of insomnia can cause serious health problems like diabetes, hypertension, and others.
Many people clench their jaws and grind their teeth while responding to stress. This strains the neck muscles and tightens them as most people unconsciously push their necks forward. Frown lines on the forehead and the painful jaw are the side effects of this habit.
Another body area that stores stress is the pelvic floor. This causes tight hips and a severed connection with the core muscles. The webbing in the pelvic region and the connective tissues respond negatively to the stress elements around us causing a stiffening which leads to various health problems.
The hips are responsible for our feelings of security and physical freedom. They lose their tone and shape when they face stress in life. They help us keep our posture and tightened hips many times are the reason why people begin suffering from back pain. When we carry old disappointments, illusions of how lives could have shaped, and pain from the past, our hips bear the brunt of this emotional damage. Do hip-opening yoga poses and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen your body.
Many of us store stress in the diaphragm as we hunch our backs and move forward without realizing it. This causes constriction in the chest region and stresses the lungs due to lack of space. This leads us to feel exhausted and causes breathlessness.

The psychic stress of repressing our feelings leads to many physical problems in the body. Taking care of one’s feeling by talking to someone you trust forms an important part of psychotherapy. When we take care of ourselves better, we take care of those around us in a more rewarding manner. Know more about stress management.

A circumstantial nervousness or sadness is not depression. However, when it lasts longer than two weeks, and the person is not able to overcome it, medical help should be sought.
Typically, depression includes these symptoms – feelings of sadness, emptiness or hopelessness. At times, the person feels like crying profusely otherwise may keep getting angry and irritated over petty things. They may become restless and anxious or sluggish and feel lost. They often may complain of physical pains of some or the other kind. The person may be disinterested in any activity even the one which is of his or her interest. The person may frequently feel tired and fatigued. They either have problems falling asleep or sleep too much.

Be there for your friend and let them do the talking. Encourage them to talk about their illness, but don’t try to offer any immediate solutions. Your support is the most important thing that you have to offer. If a person is very depressed, it is important that they seek professional advice.
Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD
Firstly, as soon as you become aware of the condition strike a conversation with the person. Listen to what he or she has to say. Don’t judge them or give negative opinions. Let them know your observations and that you are concerned. If the person is not aware, convince him or her that depression is a condition that needs expert advice and treatment and that it is vital to see one. The person should be assured that the condition may not go away on its own and needs treatment. Once he agrees to visit a doctor, get the person to jot down his feelings and status of mind so that it is easier for him to explain to the doctor. If possible accompany the person to the doctor. Most of the times doctors also need inputs from the family regarding their behavioural patterns.
When the treatment starts, keep a quiet tab on the use of medicines. Initially, you may have to give the medication yourself to the patient. Gradually as the patient feels better, he gets more convinced that he needs the medication. After that, you can rely on him for taking his medicines and appropriate, timely refills.
Engage the person in activities that he or she used to like normally. Experiment on activities that lift their mood and keep those that put them off away. Stay around or ensure someone is around always. Don’t keep brooding over their condition with your other family members, friends, and relatives that may worsen their feeling of guilt or further frustrate them. Help them to make certain decisions or complete certain tasks that they find difficult without them losing their confidence.

The very term ‘exams’ causes panic and palpitations! Students dread this time of the year when they must learn by rote reams and reams of information, formulas, names and so much more. And if that isn’t enough, they must live up to all the expectations their parents and family have set for them. Sigh, the dream of getting into a good university does have a hefty price – exam stress!
All these expectations and the constant worry to prove one’s self is taxing and eventually results in stress.
No matter how much you may pray to the rain gods or hope for a rare epidemic, the exams will not be cancelled! Accept the fact that you must work hard and catch up on the study material and prepare well. As soon as you do this, your brain will automatically relax and let you process all the information it needs to retain.
Each one of us is unique. Some may prefer to wake up early and study while some are nocturnal animals, staying up all night. Don’t let other people dictate how and when you should study. You take your own decision and study when you feel you are thoroughly prepared and functional.
Friends and family often give students unwanted advice. Also, there are friends or older siblings who boast of studying for over 12 hours a day. Don’t let this affect you and do not follow their style if it doesn’t suit you. You need to do what is best for you depending on your comfort level.
Physical activity is one of the best, scientifically proven methods to combat stress. Exercise directly reduces stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. At the same time, exercise stimulates the production of endorphins, which elevate your mood and are natural painkillers.
Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD
We all have that one friend who always chants the same mantra – I am going to fail. I haven’t studied at all. I never revise. However, this friend still tops the class or passes with flying colours! You should not pay any heed to such people. You do your revision because it works for you.
Just sitting in front of your books for the entire day and reading the same things repeatedly, won’t make it easier for you. Yes, you can watch a film or play for a while even during exams. We all need fresh air and something constructive.
Yes, we know exams have arrived, but this doesn’t mean you lock yourself up and bury yourself in books. This can get claustrophobic, and you may get exhausted. Changing the scenery helps a lot especially when you choose to spend some time in nature. Health benefits of being in nature are numerous and it also helps you reduce your exam stress. You can sit in a nearby park to revise or move out of your bedroom or study room.
Helping your child to eat properly, be a little flexible and watch out for signs of stress like irritability, headache or stomach ache can help tackle the exam worries and build confidence in your child.
Dr. Ashish Bajaj – M.B.B.S, M.D.
Having a study timetable is of great help. It helps you organise all your study material and study as per requirement. With the help of a timeline, adequate time can be allotted to each subject, and proper revision can be done accordingly.
Continue to exercise or do some activity in between exams. Don’t forget to have a bath and relax. You may listen to music, watch Papa CJ videos, draw or even watch cartoons. You need to escape from your mundane study routine and relax your mind. Sweating it out or solving a puzzle or two will activate your mind and you’ll be able to study better.
As a student, you are the only person who knows how prepared you are for your exams. There is no point in depending on prayers or last-minute cramming up if you haven’t studied the whole year long. If you think you have prepared well, then great! However, if you are not ready, there is no point in worrying about it now. Once you are done with your papers, just move on. Overanalyzing what you wrote and how you might fare, will do you no good. Follow some stress management technique to stay worry less.
