"One CALCIBLOC a day,keeps the highblood away"
Yesterday was the final straw of eating 2 ricemeals, chewing gum and truffle chocolates while on my graveyard shift. Why? because yesterday was the day,and I say D DAY for dying.
As I was on my way to work,I thought the it was all the symptoms of motion sickness. Nausea-close to vomitting,wet scalp and hair and dizziness. Add the feeling when you see black silhoutte,fast heartbeat and numb arms.
I informed the center that I will not be able to go to work even if I travell far enough yesterday. You see,in our line of business,pay day and weekends are critical working days. But in this case,I bet my body tells me to come to a halt.
140/100 was the initial reading when i stepped in the Delos Santos Medical Center-STI clinic at Megamall. Thanks to denying me service Healthway Clinic At the Shangri-la Mall,my BP rose while walking or because of anger. They even said "Cut off na po ma'am ng Family Medicine doctor namin" What an excuse!!!Can I sue them? Next time.
Going back,The Mega Clinic put me in the treatment room and after a couple of minutes told me that my MAXI care Health card can not cover the room and board plus the Calcibloc.I was just thinking,what's the use of the MAXI care Clinic inside the Mega Clinic afterall?
Anyways,enough of the whining. Calcibloc was dropped under my tongue.The nurse reminded me not to swallow it after 5 minutes so that the blood vessels can absorb it quickly.And like a magic potion,every after 30 mins. my pressure slowly slowly improving.
Now,I have more Mathematics in mind.2 blood pressure checks a day,2 apples for the shift,1 liter water,and more ton of optimism amidst the mad world around us.
