Silent killer

Hypertension, high blood pressure is a lifestyle disease that comes as a result of modern day living.  Perhaps, the stone age people did not have hypertension.  It is a silent killer.   Millions die annually as a result of high blood pressure.  Hypertension could lead to fatal stroke (injury to the brain because a blood vessel ruptured) or heart attack (the heart stopped beating because of occluded blood vessel, or a blood vessel in the heart ruptured)

Despite many articles on the subject matter, high blood pressure still persist because the gudelines are disregarded or ignored by the public at large.

Causes:

1.  Smoking
2.  Regular and heavy drinking of alcoholic drinks
3.  Stress
4.  Fatty diet
5.  Sedentary living

One of the members of the family, a daughter complained of pain in the chest and she consulted her OB Gyne.  She was sent for Ultrasound and was diagnosed for fibrocystic  breast.  Her doctor, who happened to be a cousin told me there is nothing to worry about that it will develop into a big C.  She said that it runs in the family.

Further research in the web showed that:

l.  It is common among females of 30 to 50 years old (she just turned 30)

2.  That it is usually painful (but the pain can be relieved by ordinary analgesic)   So she was given mefenemic acid and paracetamol.

3.  That it usually turns up before or after mens.
