Full transcript
Mr. Nyunt, before we start, can you tell me your blood pressure readings from home over the past two weeks, including any symptoms?
ကျွန်တော့်ရဲ့ သွေးပေါင်ချိန်ဟာ တစ်ပတ်ကျော်ကတည်းက တစ်ရာ့ငါးဆယ်နဲ့ ကိုးဆယ့်ငါးလောက် အမြဲရှိနေပါတယ်၊ တခါတလေဆို ခေါင်းမူးသလိုလိုလည်း ဖြစ်ပါတယ်။
Your pressure is still high at times, so I'll increase your medication dose slightly and you should cut down on salty foods, especially processed and preserved ones.
ဒါဆို ငါးပိနဲ့ ငံပြာရည်ကိုလည်း လုံးဝ မစားသင့်ဘူးလား ဆရာဝန်ခင်ဗျား။
Yes — please avoid fish paste and fish sauce completely, as both are extremely high in sodium and can raise your blood pressure quickly, even in small amounts.
နားလည်ပါပြီ ဆရာဝန်ခင်ဗျား။ ဒါနဲ့ ဓာတ်ခွဲခန်းစစ်ဆေးမှုကို ဘယ်နေ့လုပ်ရင်ကောင်းမလဲ။
You can go for the blood test this Thursday morning, but please fast for eight hours beforehand, so don't eat breakfast first.
ကောင်းပါပြီ၊ အစာရှောင်ပြီးမှ သွားပါ့မယ်။ နောက်တစ်ခါ ဆရာဝန်နဲ့ ဘယ်တော့ ပြန်တွေ့ရမလဲ။
Let's review your results in two weeks; if your blood pressure doesn't improve by then, I'll refer you to a cardiologist at Barwon Health for further assessment.
ကျန်းမာရေးအတွက် လေ့ကျင့်ခန်းလုပ်ဖို့ လိုပါသလား၊ ဘယ်လိုအားကစားမျိုး လုပ်ရင်ကောင်းမလဲ။
Try walking briskly for about thirty minutes most days, but avoid heavy weightlifting or intense exercise until your blood pressure stabilises.
ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ် ဆရာဝန်ခင်ဗျား၊ အကြံပြုချက်တွေအတိုင်း လိုက်နာပါမယ်။
