The past days I have been complaining about the terrible headache that I'm experiencing especially on the nape area. It's been excruciating dealing with this pain and the normal advil does not affect me at all. After visiting the nearest clinic, it's confirmed that I am having high blood pressure - 140 over 100! Not a big deal perhaps for some. But at my age?? 24? High blood??
I can't help but be amazed since I'm not eating to much fatty o salty foods lately and I have engaged myself in weekly swimming exercise. I don't smoke or drink. And I don't stay up late much at night! These things I thought are the symptoms of having HB. The doc said that it might be hereditary, which I guess is true since my mom and lola have frequent HB attacks. I often underrate what they were going through up to this day when I found myself having one. So this is how it feels. You feel weak, tired, sleepy, irritated and irritated! (Oh I just said that) Now I'm taking meds that my lola is taking. I still can't believe it. I use to believe that I am a healthy person, though not a fit one.
From this day on, I won't be eating foods that HB should not eat - fatty and fried foods, salty foods (I'll miss toyo and bagoong:(),and most of all chocolates. Waah, ano bang parusa to??.

hi les.. done adding u to my links..
actually last check up ko highblood din ako.. at the age of 21.. haist.. so sabi ng doctor icheck ko lagi un bp ko.. stress.. grabeng stress.. hihi..
ah tlga.. nakarecover ka ba? hirap rin pala highblood, kala ko pag galit ka lang hinahighblood. hehe. btw, added you too in my link list :)
how about if I tell you, I was diagnosed with hypertension when I was 21. I was, and have been on anti-hypertensive pills since then.
ensure you get a full workup to check if there is any underlying condition. I didn't have any, so it is just plain high blood pressure of unknown cause.
good luck!
thanks for the tips juliana! did some checkups today. will know the results on monday! sana ok results..
