My breakthrough with hypertension


All I could hear were voices sounding more like whispers saying: hold her, bring some water let her sit right, call the doctor and let us rush her to the hospital.


I couldn’t tell precisely where I was at that moment. My breath was seizing. I had a stiffened neck. I cannot describe the pain I felt in my chest. The only thing I could remember perfectly was waking up on a sickbay. I never knew how I encountered this. I am a business woman and dealing with money on daily basis. So it was only normal to do a lot of thinking and calculation. It was only absurd to hear the doctor say I have stop thinking. It was as if my life has been cut short yet I love my health. What can I do now that I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure? The doctor said my BP was on a very high side and that I needed a quick medical attention. Immediately, he handed a classic guide over to me which seemed to me like that written by Moses having the 10 commandments in it. It was a hand full of restriction for me. Especially my diet. I couldn’t eat the things I wish for any longer. I couldn’t wake up at the middle of the night to do some serious calculation and thinking. I fed on meals without salt and could not breeze into eateries like I used to, since junks was now a taboo for me.

How more miserable could one’s life be? My husband was never fully around. He works in another state. And there was little or nothing my little two year old daughter could do to help.my mum came around and insisted I abandon my business and focus fully on my health since health they say is wealth. I paid regular visit to the doctor to see how far my BP is fairing. I got a sphygmomanometer to regularly monitor my BP sometimes fair at least I am still hopeful when it read 160/100 which was still dangerous any way.


Staying home all through the day wasn’t helping out as I will have to go my supermarket to oversee how my sales manager was fairing I didn’t let the issues on ground and the economy down turn. I was ever determined to be happy and found my daughter as a source of motivation. My husband applied for a transfer from his place of work. But it wasn’t materializing on time so I had to relocate with my daughter down to his serving state, with no choice but to leave my business at the mercy of my manager. My husband geared me up and showed me more love, gave me needed attention and always retired early from work.

On the April 3, 2015 I received news that my mum died of stroke. I was aggrieved. I couldn’t help my reaction to this news. My BP rose up again. And my husband was scared of losing his mother-in-law and his wife. Thank God I survived it. But it felt as if I was heading toward stroke myself when I felt short breath, blur vision stiffened spine region. http://wellnessportal.com.ng/

On my way down to the village, I saw a kit in the vehicle. Which at the back has an inscription “no more hypertension”? I was being inquisitive because of my condition so I asked the driver what the kit was all about. The driver wasn’t really helpful since the kit was meant to be delivered. I told him about my condition so I asked for the recipient’s phone number.so I called. She told me how the supplements had worked perfectly for her mum. She gave me the link (http://wellnessportal.com.ng/) I placed order for mine too and that was just the turn around. Today, I am healthy. I can eat my meals with salt, it is only sad that I got my miracle after my mum’s death perhaps I would have saved her too
