Height: 5 feet, 7inches

Weight: 140 pounds

BMI :

BMI is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by

the square of height in meters.

22.6, indicating my weight is in the Normal category for adults of my height.

For my height, a normal weight range would be from 115 to 154 pounds.

Maintaining a healthy weight may reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated

with overweight and obesity.

BMI Weight Status

Below 18.5 Underweight

18.5—24.9 Normal

25.0—29.9 Overweight

30.0 and Above Obese

Underlying health conditions: Asthma

Pulse rate: 69 bpm recorded in lab on 03/04/2020

Pulse rate is the number of heart beats per minute.

Normal heart rates at rest:

Children (ages 6 - 15) 70 – 100 beats per minute

Adults (age 18 and over) 60 – 100 beats per

minute

Blood Pressure: (100/70); recorded in lab on 03/04/2020

When your heart beats, it squeezes and pushes blood

through your arteries to the rest of your body. This

force creates pressure on those blood vessels, and

that's your systolic blood pressure. A normal systolic pressure is below 120

The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the

heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets

oxygen. A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. But even if your

diastolic number is lower than 80, you can have elevated blood pressure if the

systolic reading is 120-129.

EKG:

Page 6: Disorders of the Respiratory System: Web viewDisorders of the Respiratory System: Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a chronic disorder that can occur in children or adults and is characterized

An electrocardiogram, also called an ECG or EKG, is a simple, painless test

that detects and records your heart’s electrical activity.

Here is an example of EKG recording.

In class we did a lab on EKG also known as electrocardiogram. My results

were .059 MV and I got this answer from counting in between the small boxes. The

electrocardiogram is where it records the electrical activity of your heart at rest. It

also provides information about your rhythm and heart rate and what this does is it

shows any sign of hypertension. If you have heart risk factors, the EKG can help

detect those issues. Being active, eating a healthy diet and visiting health care

providers on a normal basis can lower the risks of heart disease.

Lung Capacity:

“Respiratory capacity is the combination of two or more selected volumes, which

further describes the amount of air in the lungs during a given time. For example,

total lung capacity (TLC) is the sum of all the lung volumes (TV, ERV, IRV, and

RV), which represents the total amount of air a person can hold in the lungs after a

forceful inhalation. Breathing usually occurs without

thought, although at times you can consciously control

it, such as when you swim under water, sing a song, or

blow bubbles. The respiratory rate is the total number

of breaths, or respiratory cycles, that occur each

minute. Respiratory rate can be an important indicator

of disease, as the rate may increase or decrease during an illness or in a disease

condition. The respiratory rate is controlled by the respiratory center located within

the medulla oblongata in the brain, which responds primarily to changes in carbon

dioxide, oxygen, and pH levels in the blood.

Factors That Affect the Rate and Depth of Respiration

The major factor that stimulates the medulla oblongata and pons to produce

respiration is surprisingly not oxygen concentration, but rather the concentration of

carbon dioxide in the blood. As you recall, carbon dioxide is a waste product of

cellular respiration and can be toxic. Concentrations of chemicals are sensed by

chemoreceptors.

Disorders of the Respiratory System: Sleep ApneaSleep apnea is a chronic disorder that can occur in children or adults and is

characterized by the cessation of breathing during sleep.

A diagnosis of sleep apnea is usually done during a sleep study, where the patient is

monitored in a sleep laboratory for several nights. The patient’s blood oxygen levels,

Page 8: Disorders of the Respiratory System: Web viewDisorders of the Respiratory System: Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a chronic disorder that can occur in children or adults and is characterized

heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure are monitored, as are brain activity

and the volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled. Treatment of sleep apnea

commonly includes the use of a device called a continuous positive airway pressure

(CPAP) machine during sleep.” (OpenStax)

Over the past seven days, I’ve been documenting all the food I’ve eaten. I

would say that my diet is not really that healthy for me at all. As you can see the

results have significant differences in the total calories throughout the week. It

shows that I eat more on some days and other days I barely eat. Also seen from the

food choices, I need to choose healthier options because this can affect my body in

a worse way. The app that I used is called lifesum. This app was great and helpful.

What this did was it gave me the option to put in the food that I had for breakfast,

lunch and dinner. I would then search up the item and it will show many different

ones, the calories and where I might have gotten it from. For example, if I put a big

mac it will then show options like Burger King or other places. Once I am finished

putting all the items in their category, it will add up all the calories and show how

many carbs, fibers and things like that. From the data that I concluded I would say

that most of the food and drink I have been eating and drinking have a lot of

calories. For example, during that week I ate lot of candy, meat, sushi and chips. I

usually drink water, juice and coffee.

(Sleep Monitor App used)

These are the results of my sleeping schedule for one week. As you can tell

my sleeping schedule is completely messed up and I barely get a decent amount of

sleep. The days of Monday- Friday are the days that I have school and work too. I

usually go to bed late mostly because I have work after school. Friday is the only

time when I get a decent amount of sleep. The app that I used is called

sleepmonitor. The app was straightforward and easy to use because all I had to do

Page 10: Disorders of the Respiratory System: Web viewDisorders of the Respiratory System: Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a chronic disorder that can occur in children or adults and is characterized

was enter the time that I would go to bed and wake up. It will then show the hours

and even suggest times to go to bed to get that 8-hours of sleep.

Family History:

I started off by talking to my parents and then asking my relatives. I

learned a lot from my questioning. My mom and me, both have asthma. In my

family there is a death history of strokes and heart attacks. My father is suffering

from high blood pressure and had a heart attack. My grandfather from my father's

side died from heart attack. My grandmother from my mother’s side suffered from

strokes and died from a stroke.

Conclusion/Take home message:

Where do I see myself in 10 to 20 years? I see myself becoming a

Pharmacist, having a family, owning a home, having a better sleeping and eating

schedule and being the healthiest that I can be 10/20 years from now. The way that I

will ensure all these goals is to first believe in myself, stay motivated and determined

in every aspect of my life. My focus moving forward will be on exercising and

working out, I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to burn some calories and will be able to

maintain my body in a healthy manner. This also means being very focused in

school, making a sleep schedule that I need to follow, exercising and making

healthier food choices. There are many resources such as YouTube, blogs, articles

Page 11: Disorders of the Respiratory System: Web viewDisorders of the Respiratory System: Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a chronic disorder that can occur in children or adults and is characterized

and apps that can help me achieve all these things. I also need to watch my sugar

intake and eat more organic foods. If I let it get out of control, I’m might get diabetes.

This lab report has made me realize that the human body needs to be taken very

care of because it is working constantly 24-7 and needs rest and sleep. Overall, I

should also be more active and exercising daily to keep my body in a good health.
