When my mom caught me smoking my dad's Camels, she punished me by arranging a visit to the cancer ward of the local hospital. Was I traumatized by what I saw? You betcha. I never touched a cigarette again.

I don't think I can wait until the 2nd week of September for my cardiologist.

Probably just need to lose weight and get active.

share ko lang.

last year, 28 yrs old ako nun, laging masakit ulo ko at may palpitations tuwing matutulog sa gabi. akala ko lumalabo lang ang mata ko o dahil sa laging naka harap sa computer. nagpa general check up ako sa internist/cardio doctor.

diagnosed ako na may prehypertention. ang BP ko noon 120-130/90. lahi pa namin both sides ng parents na may diabetes at hypertention.

hindi daw normal ang BP kasi mataas ang diastolic BP ko (90 or minsan over 90).

monitor for 1 week ang BP ko, morning, after lunch, at before bedtime.

nung na confirm na yun na ang normal BP ko (130/90) at hindi bumababa, binigyan na ako ng gamot. half tablet lang.

tinigilan ko coffee, softdrinks, at iniwasan yung mga maalat at matamis na pagkain.

2 weeks of medication pa lang, diet, at wala halos exercise, 110/70-80 na ang BP ko.

kung may signs na tumataas ang BP, magpa check up na agad. lalo na kung nasa lahi. para habang maaga pa lang, makita kung bakit tumataas yung BP. pwede kasi tumaas ang BP kung may kidney problem o mataas ang blood sugar.

Are you still on medication? I am scared to check my blood sugar. Borderline na kasi sugar ko when I had it checked 2 years ago. My brother became diabetic in his 20s considering na active lifestyle siya and normal weight

Fearing something will just impede progress, lalong lang mangyayari dyan

When I was in the US, a family friend who is a doctor and a member of PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) "forced" me to adapt it last year! LOL

I had hypertension due to work related stress and overweight at 220lbs. (I'm 5'10") I was taking Diovan that started at 80mg then 160mg and I was suffering from digestion problems as a side effect after taking it for over 10 years!

I'm super happy that my BP is now normal and not taking anymore meds and down to 175lbs!
