So this past Valentine weekend, Lifefrom30 and Omron health care had a special Val's day package for all. It focused on the need for daily monitoring of blood pressure if hypertensive, monitoring at least once in a month if you are not hypertensive but within the risk category and getting the correct calf size from a trusted brand.
About 30% who were known hypertensives had the blood pressure monitors but hardly used them , about 40% were hypertensives and hadn't taken their medications due to forgetfulness as a result of busy schedules at work or school and about 15% of those who recorded a high blood pressure reading were not known hypertensives thus were not on any medication. They were advised to follow up at a clinic or hospital to continue monitoring their blood pressure. The rest of the 15% just decided not to check their pressure because they thought they felt okay and fit, were too young to record a high blood pressure and others also decided not to check because they were overweight and the reading will probably go high and scare them, thus, they preferred moving about without knowing.
All were however, educated on the need to exercise, decrease their salt intake, avoid alcohol and smoking cigarettes, avoid high fat diet and reduce weight if obesed. Omron health care blood pressure monitors with different calf sizes were also sold out at a discounted rate to be affordable for every pocket and every arm size. The exercise which commenced on Friday, came to a successful end yesterday. Thanks to all those who were able to make it and for those who were not able to, we will keep updating you on our subsequent screening dates and venues.
