I had my check up yesterday in Megaclinic at SM Megamall. I went there to consult about the status of my blood pressure.
Unlike my previous consultations in regards to my hypertension issues, this one was really the best consultation session that I had.
Dra. Supe was the one on-shift by that time, and she was the one who really made it clear to me my present status and the things that I will encounter if I will act now to prevent this hypertension.
We went through a question and answer portion to know my health history. Then based to what she learned, I was diagnosed to be on a Stage 1 Hypertension.
Definition: A minimum blood pressure value of 140/90. Stage 1 Hypertension is an early form of high blood pressure, and may require treatment with medicine, together with frequent monitoring, in order to avoid progression to Stage 2 Hypertension.
She told of of the things that I need to do to prevent the case. 1 hour of walking a day for 5 days a week, less fatty/sweet/salty foods and to avoid fastfoods if possible. She cleared it to me that hitting the gym now or doing a die-hard diet will not help me to pull down my high blood pressure anymore. She told me that I should have done that 2 years ago.
So to prevent myself of entering the Stage 2 Hypertension, I have to take medications to gain relief of the symptoms and to do a lot of tests to figure out if it already affected my heart and kidney, and to prevent this condition to be worse.
I told my mom about the situation and she got worried. She even wanted to send my brother here to watch out for me now that she knew I was alone at night since my roomie just transferred apartment.
So there goes the best luck for me. I just hope that my blood pressure will not hit me while I'm sleeping. I'm afraid that there's no one I could call to if that would happen.
