Top 10 Health Conditions Affecting Americans




Hypertension; I suffer from this. Oddly enough I didn't
start having problems until I lost a bunch of weight
and my mother in law died. The nation's health
impact is 12.5%. I take regular prescription medication
and I also take some vitamins to help.
Hypertension is also known as the silent
killer because it has no early significant symptoms.

Major Depression; oddly enough I have this too!
I was diagnosed Bipolar at the age of 15.
National health impact is 9%, doesn't sound like a
large number but there are a lot of people
that don't know they have major depression.

High Cholesterol....yes you guessed it I have this too,
I have had it since I was a kid. I take prescription medication
and vitamins to help. The national health impact is 8.6%

Coronary Artery Disease, the national health impact is 7%.
High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking and
diabetes can all damage or injure the inner layer of
coronary arteries. Over time, the damage can worsen
and become coronary artery disease, putting
you at higher risk for a heart attack.

Type 2 Diabetes, nation health impact 5.5%.
People with diabetes have blood sugar levels that rise
higher than normal. Type 2 diabetes is the most common
form of the disease caused by obesity and lack of
physical activity,
in about 90% of the cases in the USA.

Alcohol use Disorder, national health impact 3.35%.
This doesn't count individuals who drink lightly,
this counts for people who can't put the bottle down
no matter how many times they have tried.
Very high blood alcohol levels can result in coma or death.

COPD, national health impact 3.3%. Seeing that percentage
seems low to me especially with how many people smoke
in the USA. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease.

Psychotic Disorder; national health impact 2.9%..... this includes schizophrenia and delusional disorder,
it's hard to maintain a sense of reality.

Crohn's Disease, national health impact 2.7%... for
those who don't know what this is, it's a disease
that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. 

If you have any of these please keep doing checkups with your pcp,
take your prescription medication and look
into vitamins and supplements.
There is always help out there, don't be afraid to ask.
