A man walked into the clinic yesterday to visit a patient.He saw me sitting by the BP apparatus and pleaded i check his readings.To my dismay,his systolic reading was above 200 and the diastolic was above 100 after three consecutive checks.After interrogating him,i realized he is a known hypertensive but has defaulted on his medication with the idea of feeling strong and healthier these years.Seriously,he looked" strong and healthy" on observation.After educating him on the condition he was seen by the doctor and given treatment.There are so many of us who" look strong an healthy" but have terrible BP readings.Spend little time of your lunch and pass by any clinic for a BP check in order to avoid the unexpected.
