Mid morning visited the Pharmacy for the monthly supply of
medication. Got my blood pressure tested and was quite a cause of concern as the
reading indicated 138/80 compared to only 110/70 on my last visit at Pantai
Medical Center on 12 April 2012 which was about a month ago.
It was a borderline case. Not that very serious actually but
a case of serious concern. The systolic had increased from 110 to 138 and the
systolic from 70 to 80. The systolic that was worrying. I suspect the contributing
factor was the temporary discard for observation of Amolidipine Besylate 5 gm
as prescribed by the Consultant Physician. The next visit will be on 07 June
2012 and see what the BP like and what the Consultant advice. If I have to
revert to the prescription, I have no choice.
At current age, BP sits the most top priority of my health
chart. I avoid petty matters that can agitate the pressure. Medication and
light physical exercise is just an antidote to control the pressure. Mental
stability does play an important role.
I am looking forward to 07 June 2012. Certain remedies have
to be adjusted if the current 138/80 remains status quo. My target is 110/70.
In the meantime it would be a weekly check at the Pharmacy.
What will be, will be.
