I had a cardio in my teens to early 20s (he was in his 70s/80s then I suppose) He is only by appointment, no long lines, and has a very good reputation but I stopped going to him when I stopped going to Makati Med. That hospital became terrible in the 2000s Yun pa naman pinakamalapit sa bahay ko. I wonder if he is still alive and practicing.

These are the supplements I am taking once daily

Sodium Ascorbate 500 mg started in July only (resistance)
Calcium Magnesium Zinc with Vit D3 (bones and teeth)
Chromium Picolinate 1000 mg (to reduce sugar cravings)
Biotin 5000 mcg (for hair and nails)

UPDATE on my colleague, naglalaro sa 160/170 siya since last week, the doctor at the clinic forced him to take maintenance meds already (amlodipine). He is very pissed about it because he does not want to take maintenance. It blows my mind because he has perfect weight, flat tummy, non smoker and only 32.
Pabata ng pabata ngayon ang may hypertension. One of my colleagues while leading his geology class on a fieldwork in Palawan had to bring one of his undergrad students to a hospital because of severe hypertension (180/100).
