hypotension

i was found faint in GPP during my internship on 2003. it was ramadan & after berbuka i went to rantau clinic for check up. my blood pressure was very low as well as my glucose level. the doctor was suprised because i told him that i was just take my meal before seeing him. after all he concluded that my fainting was because of my blood pressure and glucose level. he gave me vitamins and advices for eating in high quantity. huhu.

low blood pressure (LBP) or hypotension is not as famous as high blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension. LBP is, when the blood pressure is low, might be not enough oxygen would be supplied to the brain. in the case of very low pressure, it is expected that we're facing heart problem (abnormal heartbeat or heart's muscle weaks or miocardium infarction), or because of dehydration, and complication of medication.

for orang kampung like my mother, LBP is because of tak cukup makan. huhu. even my aunt said when i told her i was caught LBP and the doctor asked me several times to ensure i willing to do glucose test priced rm8.. "ni sakit orang miskin sal tu dokter tu tanya kot tak mampu nak baya.." huhu...

to overcome the problem is... yes, eat... take more iron, folic acid, vitamin b-12 and salt... the doktor advised me to take asam boi. but i don't like asam boi... masin sangat aaaa, i prefer take natural sodium chloride kat dapur tu.. and minum air kosong banyak². and also supplementary food from pharmacy. but be careful when taking supplement pills, most of them are chemical & would give side effect if overdose. try to seek for plant- or natural-based medicine.

oh yes, i was found LBP two times, the first was during convofair 2002 (keje kuat sampai tak cukup makan), made my mate said "engko mengandung ke?" huhu.
