Hot environment & Kidney stone
It's very hot summer season & increase in humidity recently. recently there is increase in stone incidence by 30%.
there is direct relationship between kidney stone and environment change. Increase perspiration cause dehydration and decrease urine output which enhance kidney stone formation.
I suggest u to take few precautions to prevent kidney stone
1) Drinks plenty of water during day time and before going to bed..ensure u pass more than 2 liters of urine/ day.
2) Avoids strenuous exercise in hot environment
3) Drinks lemonade which prevents stone formation
4) cut down caffeine and salt in your diet.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (HYPERTENSION)
So why worry about high blood pressure? Because even when high blood pressure is not causing any symptoms, it can silently damage many organs, including the:
Brain
Eyes
Heart
Kidneys
Arteries throughout the body
You may not recognize the damage that silent hypertension has been doing to your body until you suddenly are stricken with a major disease. For example, hypertension increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.Usually, hypertension does not directly cause symptoms. When blood pressure is very high, it can cause:
Headaches
Dizziness
Fatigue
Ringing in the ears
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis of hypertension depends on blood pressure readings. Therefore, it's essential that blood pressure be measured carefully & regularly
Prevention
To prevent high blood pressure:
Get regular aerobic exercise
Limit your intake of salt and alcoholic beverages
Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fats
Avoid smoking
Maintain a desirable body weight
Hypertension increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. So it is important to modify your risk factors for coronary artery disease. In addition to the above actions, you should:
Quit smoking

You may be able to cure your hypertension with lifestyle changes alone.
