It was a saturday morning, no work,no early morning rush, (yes!)i can stay in bed for a couple more hours sleeping!... That day though i felt weird and wondering what's with me since i just woke up (i usually woke up late morning on weekends, say.. 11:00 AM?) but then i feel dizzy and my body seems so heavy that i felt so lazy to move. The weather outside was too hot, ah! summer.. sometimes i just hate it though some people especially in colder countries wished for hot summer to come soon. I don't know about you but i feel this summer is not an ordinary weather unlike the previous years here in the Philippines. Being exposed under the sun these days for just seconds make you feel dehydrated and uncomfortable, the sun is literally too hot to handle! Even in the news, health pros are talking about precautions regarding the effects of hot summer especially heat strokes, dehydration and high blood pressure etc... Well perhaps i can relate?, it seems to me that what i feel last time was not a different case at all in relation to this weather phenomenon.
Better safe than sorry, i decided to see my doctor and well to my surprise my blood pressure was too high at 150/90! Probably the culprit of my headaches and dizziness for the past days. Right then i realize that HB(high blood) really don't choose between young or old now a days, to severe the situation after i got my laboratory exam the next day and have my doctor read the results of my Laboratory exams, it seems that my blood sugar also shoots up a bit! Darn! Is 30 (yes i am!) really that old and sickly??? *sigh* I was really worried and think of things deeply (oh well i'm scared to die! not yet! *lol*) Well, at least my Doc says i was still in the borderline "but" this time with extra care and precaution and watch my diet!!! (wahh... fav' ko pa naman "halo-halo" lalo na tag-init!) Well, yes, it did really make me think and decide to say goodbye and cut to sweets(huhuhu..) and high blood producing foods(hay naku!). I just started with my wheat bread diet *again* and my exercise routine. I hope and pray that this crusade of mine will prosper.(ha! wish ko lang!).
For those who might stumble in here and end up reading this,i hope you learn from it...Prevention is Better than Cure, better safe than sorry...
