Full transcript
Mr. Villanueva, your blood pressure this morning measured 158 over 96, which is significantly higher than the normal range we like to see.
Talaga po ba? Medyo nahihilo po ako mula pa noong nakaraang linggo, pero hindi ko po ito pinansin dahil akala ko pagod lang ako sa trabaho.
That dizziness could definitely be linked to your blood pressure. Can you tell me if anyone in your family, like your parents or siblings, has had hypertension or stroke?
Opo, ang tatay ko po ay nagkaroon ng stroke noong siya ay animnapung taong gulang, kaya medyo natatakot din po ako ngayon.
I'll start you on a low-dose medication called Amlodipine, five milligrams once a day, and we'll monitor your blood pressure closely over the next few weeks.
Puwede po ba akong uminom ng gamot na iyan kahit walang laman ang tiyan ko? Natatakot po kasi ako na baka masuka ako.
You can take it with food to avoid nausea. Please also cut down on salt, avoid processed foods, and try to eat more vegetables and fresh fruit daily.
Sige po, salamat. Puwede po ba akong maglakad-lakad tuwing umaga, o kailangan ko munang magpahinga hanggang bumaba ang presyon ko?
Walking is a great choice, aim for about thirty minutes most days of the week. Please don't stop the medication suddenly, even if you start feeling better.
Kailan po ako babalik para sa susunod na check-up? Medyo mahirap po kasi kumuha ng leave sa trabaho ko sa Campbelltown.
Let's schedule a review in four weeks at Campbelltown Hospital, unless your blood pressure rises or you experience any new symptoms before then.
Sige po, maraming salamat po. Babantayan ko po nang mabuti ang aking presyon at iinumin ko po nang regular ang gamot, hindi ko po ito titigilan basta-basta.
