WHY BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF SIZE IS IMPORTANT....

If you use a cuff that is too small, the resulting blood pressure reading will be too high. And if you use a cuff that is too large, the resulting blood pressure reading will be too low. This is very serious in the sense that if the cuff is too small,  you will be incorrectly diagnosed with high blood pressure. As a result, you will be taking in medications which may have negative effects on your body. On the other hand, if your blood pressure is high and goes undiagnosed because of the use of large cuff, it may lead to damage blood vessels, stroke and heart attack. It is advisable to insist on the correct cuff size to your arm when your blood pressure is being checked.

LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE......

I realized that this cigarette addiction was really defeating me, but I couldn’t control it. I lived for cigarette and imagined dying with a cigarette. But just one day I took a bold decision to quit smoking after losing my property and my only daughter due to a house fire which started with my careless cigarette smoking. It was very horrible and I don’t want to talk about it. I wish to turn back the hands of time and save my innocent baby. But it’s too late now for me but not for you. I hope my experience help you change. Life is too short and it seems such a waste to pay a cigarette company to kill you slowly. Get assistance from a clinical psychologist and you will go through quitting successfully.                                                ...

THIS IS HOW I LOST MY HUSBAND.

He was one of the most intelligent, handsome and God fearing guys on campus. We became attracted to each other during school days and got married after his first appointment in a financial institution. He was so serious with his work to the extent that he was loved by almost all his authorities. He moved his company to a higher level and was promoted to be a branch manager. It all started when he complained about his periodic headaches. I usually supply him with some pain killers just to calm him down. He was diagnosed of hypertension at 38yrs, after he was rushed to the clinic due to a sudden collapse at the office. He was put on some antihypertensive and some cholesterol controlling drugs. Initially, I was supervising him on the intake of his medication. But I stopped after a year when I realized he was complying with therapy.
