I have never bothered reading any of your posts although I see them most a times .The reason was that, I saw them to be science related till I read on the benefits of beetroot. Even with that, I felt reluctant reading but was caught by the picture of the vegetable. Seriously, that was the first time knowing the name of that vegetable. I became more interested knowing it to be lowering high blood pressure. My mum is a known hypertensive and a banker a s well. She has been on anti hypertensive drugs after the birth of my six year old brother. Her antihypertensive drugs have been changed several times because she keeps complaining a lot of symptoms to her doctor. Later on, She was seeing her condition to be more of spiritual than pathological. So I decided to let her try the beetroot whiles she continues with her anti hypertensive drugs and see what happens. I had to read more about this vegetable on the internet before because I knew my mum will be asking a whole lots of questions .After...

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.Take control of your

Our marriage was one of the most enviable type in our family, all because we loved and respected each other so much that we were seen together always. But I didn’t know my wife’s first pregnancy could turn both of us into total strangers. She changed in both physical and psychological wellbeing and I didn’t know how to handle it. Her kissable lips turned into an exit for saliva and vomitus and that was something I couldn’t stand at that time. Her nagging and temper tantrums prevented me from staying at home as I used to .Although I was eager to see my baby, I didn’t know that was the price to pay. Throughout her pregnancy, that happiness in our marriage wasn’t felt anymore and I mostly stay out till late just to avoid an argument.

I didn’t know her mum had high blood pressure and that could expose her to it. Fortunately, her blood pressure became norma...

I  am a 23year old guy and a final year student  at the University.My mum is hypertensive and I see her taking her medications most frequently.Seriously, I  didn't know high blood pressure was hereditary till I read it on your page.Although my lifestyle is not the best to be considered as  healthy but I do well with  my exercises at the gym centre.And I thought that was cool for my age.This statement kept ringing in my ears"Do you know your reading?",till I went to a clinic nearby to check my blood pressure reading.I was amazed when the nurse explained the readings to me after several checks(130/89 - 132/90mmHg).My heart began to beat more faster than normal but after the education by the nurse and doctor on duty,I felt better and wanted  more of the education.After checking my blood pressure for three days,the doctor confirmed me as Prehypertensive and told me how easy to work on it with lifestyle modification but not medications.They told me more of all t...
