Mom has been suffering from high blood pressure. No she’s not fat and she doesn’t have high cholesterol. I asked her the cause of her high blood pressure. She told me it’s genetic. My grandfather had a high blood pressure too. He’s gone with the Lord now but no it’s not the cause of His death.
So… my mom has been taking medicine to lower down her blood pressure. It’s been a week since she hasn’t been taking medicine, by the way, because she said she’s been feeling well. But yesterday, she felt kinda dizzy. So she had to take her medicine again.
She has to monitor her BP. In fact, she has a BP kit to check her BP everytime. I am glad though that she doesn’t need any of those Philips AEDs. Glad that she has a medicine to keep her BP normal also.
Actually she brought with her a lot of (and extra) medicine just in case. I’m glad because not sure whether they’d be available in Malaysia too if ever they need extra.
