Rachel was a 55-year-old wife, and mother of 4, who was told about a year ago by her doctor that she has high blood pressure. In fact, it was stage 2. Rachel, having four kids still living at home and very dependent, was extremely scared for her future and was determined to lower her blood pressure. She changed her diet by not eating salt, drinking lots of water, eating healthy food, and even the occasional light walk. She took her medication prescribed by the doctor every day. She was committed to a healthier life.?
SIX WEEKS LATER, NO IMPROVEMENT
The doctor increased her medication and promised her it would create results. So again, Rachel blindly follows the doctor’s orders as most patients do. She is intent on living a long healthy life with her husband and children. So, she continues to take her medication every day.?
Again, another six weeks later, and still no improvement.?
In fact, Rachel’s blood pressure was consistently worse and in the danger zone. She begged the doctor at multiple follow-up appointments to try something else or get a second opinion, but her doctor would not really listen to her. Feeling upset, ignored, and scared for her future – she texted ELAK.?
Rachel had a complimentary 15-minute meet-and-greet; and then, later followed up with a single medication consultation with an ELAK staff medical advisor. This is where she found out about the many ways her high blood pressure could be treated. Not just about the different medications she could try, but also the more natural remedies. Along with how her genetic makeup and ethnicity even play a role in her having high blood pressure and which medication would work the best. At the end of the convo, Rachel had a better understanding of what she was dealing with and how to attack it. Most importantly, she had a plan moving forward that would better her health.?
Now, close to a year with battling to lower her numbers, Rachel is controlling her blood pressure and is reaching a consistent 120/80. Her goal is to extend her life past the shortened expiration that would have been, if she had sat quietly by the side and didn’t ask for answers and advice. With the help of ELAK she is able to do this.?
Rachel took advantage of ELAK HEALTH ’s texting and phone consultation service to receive a second opinion from a prescriber on her side. She gained a medical professional to fight from her corner; and it was all from her feeling unheard and her desire to better her health. You, too, may have a similar situation.
