For several days now I’ve been complaining to hubby about my headache. Because of this I am easily irritated and little things make me annoyed. I usually end up quarrelling Dabs (that’s what I call my hubby… he doesn’t want me to call him by his name coz he said there’s no “sweetness” on it). Anyway, we decided to visit a doctor in the afternoon to check on my condition. We chose an OB referred to us by Job’s cousin so we can ask about pregnancy as well (as you all know we just got married and we want to expand our family immediately…hehehe).
The result of the check up was not that good… in other word, bad news for me. I’m not dying… to my friends and family, please do not worry (“,). As I expected, the cause of my headache is high blood pressure (my BP is 160/100). For seven years now, I have hypertension and I’ve been taking medicines since I was 20 years old. I have undergone series of tests just to know the real cause of my hypertension but the results were negative. I guess it’s in the family (my mom was paralyzed when she was 38 years old only). My doctor just concluded that aside from “it runs in the blood theory”, stress (because of work) and diet (my bad eating habit) led to my being hypertensive.
What made me truly sad today was the fact that if ever I’ll get pregnant, it would be very difficult and risky both for me and the baby
The doctor said I need to exercise daily, eat the right food and live a stress-free life. She then referred me to an internist to better study my case. I cried because of this sad news. Hubby and I really want a baby as soon as possible but because of my condition I guess we need to wait for the right time. We are praying that everything will be fine. God is good… in Him nothing is impossible. We hold on to His promise– Jesus said ask anything in prayer, believe in it and you shall have it (from my favorite verse-Mark 11:24).
