Bear with me people of the earth hehehe! As you can see I’m on hiatus, I haven’t posted here on my blog for quite sometime now (its only 3 days since your last post, you jerk lol). Nahh but seriously I’m having health problems lately. I guess its because of the hot weather Manila is experiencing right now (or is it because I’m aging,hehe)

It started last Holy Week. I thought that the pain my neck is suffering is mainly because of a bad sleeping position. Only to find out later after a blood pressure test that I’m suffering hypertension. The BP test reads 130 over 100. Oh my gulay! That is bad!

Anyway, I just keep cool and analyzed things. Why the sudden surge of my diastolic? Before I usually have a reading of 120/80.

The doctor advise me to have my cholesterol level check before giving me a prescription. And it was positive, my cholesterol was high, but not that critical high. I was spare from having a maintenance drug, but he strongly suggested that I go on a diet. Low salt, low carb, avoid fatty foods and alcohol. (nohhh spare me the alcohol pleaseeee, lol).

It’s my fault. Being an employee and a blogger, I was always infront of the computer, both at home and at work. Before I used to sweat a lot riding my bmx bike but now nothing, not even jogging or brisk walking. I guess i have to change my lifestyle before its too late. How about you, have you checked your blood pressure lately?
