One bad week...

Fri Aug 7, 2009, 2:07 PM

I really had a bad week. I do not felt well for several weeks now, but in recent days I felt worse. After a visit to the emergency room and one to a doctor, I discovered that I have hypertension. Wonderful! I must now begin a long treatment to recover a good quality of life, away from salt, sugar and fat. As if this were not enough, it is likely that I will need a small surgery to remove a small problem of skin. Wonderful! I wanted vacations, but was not forced vacations what I had in mind ... but all is well, could be much worse. I thought it could be much worse, and for the first time in my life I understood that I am not a superman. I'm not indestructible, and frankly, understand their own mortality is not a very pleasant feeling. On the other hand, it made me realize that there are many small things that I was unaware and which need more attention, as a simple walk. A day to myself, no commitments, no clock, no worries. "Carpe diem". This seems to be a beautiful idea...

Valeu. É como dizem, bola pra frente que atrás vem gente! Já tive dias melhores, mas podia ser bem pior.

Indeed, although I have not yet had such an event, it is important to take time for yourself.

Puxa, vai ser preciso mudar alguns habitos? Com isso não pode brincar, já tive ataque de pressão baixa algumas vezes que já trabalhei pesado.

Well, 2 years ago, my doctor told me I had severe hypertension. I was 64-old. What's important is WHY you have got hypertension. About myself, no cholesterol or diabetes or things like that. But a suspicion of a cancer on my prostate.
Then I had to undergo lots of analysis (several biopsies, MRI etc.) and they didn't find anything.
Now, I'm 66 and, apart from taking a pill at breakfast, there are no constraints. Of course, I have to have a survey on my blood pressure every 3 months.
You have probably some cholesterol, and, if you keep away from a few forbidden foods, you won't die soon.

Cheers up and best wishes,

Maurice, in France

Pressão baixa pode sim ser um problema, mas se a pressão alta não for controlada, pode descambar pra um ataque cardíaco. Esse foi meu medo lá no pronto-socorro, mas os exames foram negativos. De qualquer forma, agora vou ter de maneirar no sal, que devo reconhecer foi meu erro...

My first tests did not show good cause for hypertension, but I believe it has been over-salt on my food, and also a little anxiety in the work. But my mother has hypertension, can I have it inherited it. Anyway, I just look better from now on and do well.
