HELP: How To Fight Hypertension

[_Cathy_]

I was also prediabetic is 2014 but I don't know what happened it became normal. I did not change my eating habits naman, I just took more supplements

[uls]

wala yan

normal ka

alam mo baket ka may palpitation?

STRESS

may iniisip ka... you're worried about something, afraid something bad would happen, or something bad happening

mahina tolerance mo sa problema

lahat para sayo problema... ang di problema para sa ibang tao napakalaking problema para sayo

naalala mo mga sinasabi sayo ni shadow?

Ang isang way ko to fight hypertension is to train myself to lose and not to aim for anything high goals anymore,

When I want something expensive, I just pay for it even if I can't afford it,

Wala naman sense Kasi pressuring ourselves to be the best in everything. Look at thropies, sino ba ibang Tao nagtitingen nyan. Nobody cares

If say you have a pushy boss, let him be. Let him short his brain out and let him be me too fat for his ambitions. Basra look good ka Lang, and flirt with people

Nope. Ano sabi ni shadow?

Weird nga kasi before I had that battery of tests I really felt like I was dying. I was having dizzy spells, palpitations, shortness of breath. Pero after the test results came and I saw everything was normal, they symptoms disappeared

from prediabetic to diabetic doesn't happen in a couple of years

it takes longer than that

yes but my FBS and A1C are normal now. In 2013 my FBS was was at 107 ata, basta close to 110.

I just found out today that my BP is high!!! 130/90. My usual BP is 110/70 or 120/80.

.

In my limited experience, that will be perceived by the doctor, as pre-hypertension.

And so, they will prescribe maintenance medicine....

Yup,- working in a Corporate World is one big burden to our health and sanity.....

One indicator for me is my waist and my stress level, if one of those two goes up, kasama lagi ang bp

Cathy,

Been through the same boat and what's worse, the hypertension resulted in aortic dissection. So, the cardiologist told me to:

1. Lessen salt in my diet (less junk and no MSG in foods)
2. Continue exercise (brisk walking, biking, swimming, light jogging)
3. Moderate stress triggers (that's why I hired 3 more managers to handle the heavy lifting) at work
4. Maintenance medication (although I hope you won't need any)

Cheer up. 130/90 ain't that bad. And you can lower it a lot by doing the above.

OK ba stair climbing as exercise, even at moderate pace? If all goes well, i'm planning to do this at work.

Actually, that's better than brisk walking IMHO. Our HR Head walks up the stairs all the way to the 8th Floor of our building everyday even if there is an elevator.

Yes, its ok, i sometime do it, lalo na pag may short notice na invite, a relative or a friend want to meet up for dinner and i dont know where were gonna eat, ill just go up and down the stairs for 30-45mins, burns around 250-400 cal, so there is room for a bigger meal..

Bypass? Why did that happen? You left your high BP untreated?

I just found out last night that two of my colleagues (26 and 32) have high BP also so they were asked to monitor their BP for one week. I'm surprised that they are taking it very lightly

We tend to stay late and eat late, not sure if that has an effect too

They shouldn't. i used to have an officemate in his mid 20's, nagtaka na lang ako why i hadn't seen him in months...akala ko nag resign, yun pala nastroke, nagpagaling sa probinsya.

In my mind, there is no way you will be able to burn off what you ate that late at night. All that food goes into "reserves".

Try to eat on time. Pansin ko sa sarili ko, i tend to eat less, and eat slower when i eat on time(7-730).

fyi, Paul Newman took up stair climbing in his older days. Less risk of injury. Not all buildings allow access to fire exits though.

Not Bypass but aortic root repair. My hypertension was undiagnosed for years. Didn't know I was hitting 160/100 then.

ok lang din bang mag car wash nalang pagka gising sa umaga.kasi un ang pinaka exercise ko sa umaga.ikot punas .ikot punas sa sasakyan ko.after nun sobrang tagaktak pawis ko..lalo na kapag nag wax ako ng manual or mano mano..

kahit papano siguro malakas din maka burn ng calories un kasi.papawisan ka din..

[_Cathy_]

Hindi naman ako pinapawisan when I wash and wax my car. But I do that once a week. I guess that should be okay?

Do I need to lower my BP before I can do moderate exercise?

Sweat is just way for the body to cool itself, youre just excreting water, youll gain it all back after you have a drink.

Are you a bit on the heavy side? Try to lose weight, then go for low-impact exercises like elliptical machines or biking.

Malakas din maka-burn ng calories ang car washing. Sunday morning ritual ko ang hugasan ang 2 kotse namin (isang SUV at isang subcompact). Tagaktak talaga pawis at hingal after.

Sweat just means your body is trying to cool off, what is important is to get the heart rate up. Walang problema yung moderate exercise and your BP is only borderline. This is actually the best time to start.

I gained a lot of weight over the years I think my body is not used to being fat But I damaged my knees over 10 yrs ago when I was working out daily. I also have scoliosis and my dr said I can't have extra weight because it's bad for my condition

But it's also weird because I have a colleague who is thin but had hypertension in his late 20s. Pero he is really stressed at work and lacks sleep.

I am scared to exercise again because I heard too many people who dropped dead while exercising. These are guys in their 40s and fit (one is a runner pa).
