Taking control of my health??: don't wait until it's too late!

As someone who has been diagnosed with pre-hypertension, I want to share my story and encourage others to take their blood pressure seriously.

Before my diagnosis, I had no idea that my blood pressure was high. I experienced occasional headaches and fatigue, but I just chalked it up to stress and a busy lifestyle. It wasn't until a routine check-up with my doctor that I found out my blood pressure was elevated and that I was in the pre-hypertensive stage.

My siblings and friends are a great support system for me. They encouraged me to take my health seriously and helped me make positive changes. I was prescribed nifedipine 10mg, and I also started exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, reducing my sodium intake, and managing my stress levels.

Adopting a #healthylifestyle hasn't been easy for me, and I've had some setbacks along the way. However, I remind myself that every small step counts towards a healthier life.

It's important to know that hypertension is preventable. By taking steps to maintain a #healthylifestyle, such as exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, reducing sodium intake, and managing stress, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing hypertension.

If you or someone you know has hypertension, don't be discouraged. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, hypertension can be managed effectively. And for those who have not been diagnosed, I encourage you to know your numbers and take steps to maintain healthy blood pressure. I again encourage?? everyone to take their blood pressure seriously and know their numbers.

Pre-hypertension is a warning sign that should not be ignored, and it's important to take action to prevent hypertension from developing.

We can all work towards a healthier future!
