Re: Me and My Family
I had high blood pressure ( 160/100 ) after a life time of bad health/life choices but now I control it with 80mg of aspirin once a day, monthly cost Ph120 and a Malunggay leaf, which I pick in the garden for free, coffee each morning. Local hospital doctor was so proud that the 6 different types of medication he had prescribed had worked as my BP was down to just above normal ( 130/90 ), it was then that I told him it was just aspirin and Malunggay and not his medication that had done it.
130/90 is too high

At a dentist appointment (only for cleaning which i quite enjoy) she asked about my BP. Went to the farmacia where it read as 175/115. Straight to docs where it read as 160/90. Given pills and after a week remeasured at 138/80 and advised to continue with pills. Should I worry?

Blimey. I wondered where I was for a moment. I thought I was in the BrokenBiscuits&Glue thread.
Hopefully P11's BP is fine and dandy despite all the dramas.
Toddles off thinking I might buy a BP test thingy.

Re: Me and My Family
If you are concerned about your BP ...then yes it is a good thing. Mine cost about 1.5k and was advised to buy the the unit to use on the arm. More accurate so I am told. I checked mine once per week until my wife trashed it when I left her for the second time back in April. I notice on her BP results the doc checks both arms the point of which I don't understand although they were slightly different. I have no idea what my BP is now and needs to be checked. Back where I used to live with her, I found a walk-in place where you can get Cholesterol checked, BP and weight checked. Looking for something similar here. My scales also got trashed in one of those moments of rage by her. I have lost a fair bit of weight in the last few months and on last checking a few weeks ago, I am now down to 64kg from about 70kg which is a concern. I need to get those checks done once I find the right place.
Moving on....Nothing further to report since I last wrote. Still in temp accommodation with a lovely Filipino family but I hope to view a part furnished place this week with a view to moving in after refurb during January. I am in no rush because Idont know how things are gong to pan out here. As a consequence, I have extended my visa for just 59 days. Her latest threat is to take me to a Family Court of which I have no problem to settle her maintenance. However her attorney (if she has one) claims she can get 40% of my gross pension which would be ruinous for me because I am carrying all her debts plus wedding and the money lent to an ex-pats wife to bury her husband a couple of years back. I could cope with 40% of Nett pension without too much of a problem. Anyway....still researching her 40% claim. Off to PSA in a few days to do some digging on any previous marriage she may have had.
Regards
