When is the last time you paid much attention to your health?
I hope you do this often and you don't ignore it when your body demands rest. I have done this before, I had about 3 hours of sleep as I still wanted to frind online and tend to my toddler, waking up twice at night to make his milk and change his diaper. I had huge eyebags at that time and oftentimes, I feel like I'm floating; I also don't eat on time and sometimes skip meals and one day I got sick but thankd ne to God I am still alive!
Anxiety biult up, there were times when my heart beats too fast even if I was only sitting, I feel nauseated , and at night, I could not sleep properly. My body might look deep asleep, hig my mind isa till working, having dreams I could control just like I was really there and I feel even more tired the next morning whe I wake up but I can't remember any of the dreams I had.
It took me a while to recover, and made it by sleeping early, and avoided gadgets that would over stimulate me before I go to bed and I also avoided negative thoughts and ugly news around the world.
pay attention to your health!
Go to sleep when you feel sleepy, real sleepy not the one you feel when you just feel lazy.
Eat at the right time and avoid snacks that would want you to eat more. Sweets make you do this.
Skip the coffee and drink more water. Do not ever use energy drink when not needed
Two weeks ago, our company nurse paid a visit in my work place and conducted blood pressure test and blood sugar test to each of us. Some of my coworkers were ahy but I encouraged them to go so we would know what's wrong with our body early and avoid things that trigger the abnormality and possibly treat the disease if there is any.
My blood pressure is on the normal level as what the nurse says even if it is above what google had said
My blood sugar test is also okay even if I had breakfast that morning.
But even if the nurse says it was okay, I am still worries about my health. My food and lifestyle is not that good and really lavk exercises.
But anyway, let's skip mine. One of my coworkers were high pointer that day, his blood sugar level was over 500 and his blood pressure is relatively high and I got worried about him yet he says he was okay and he took his maintenance medicine on time.
But Dondon had 153/87 blood pressure and 130+ blood sugar level. It worried him but I assured that it was okay adviced him for a check up at the rural health center and have his maintenance and agreed to do it soon as he would have time. His wife is pregnant and he was working double time, almost ahving an overtime everyday and he drinks coffee a lot to make him awake and I did not notice him drink water often.
The sad news is that Thursday came and he messaged me that he could not come to work in the morning because he was not feeling well, and planned to be there at noon.(gikabuhi) bloated or perhaps he had heartburn or hyperacidity. 11 am came and he texted me again that he said he could not make it and rather go to the hospital because he is not really feeling well. I told the manager about his message since he didn't have direct contact to him.
2pm came, we got busy at work, Fonzy asked me where Dondon is because his wife messaged the group chat asking for prayers and then a little later, her wife declared his passing. It was devastating and everyone in the company was sad of what happened. He wa just 45, his kids were not yet 18 yet, and his wife 4 months pregnant and I thought life is going to be hard for them and I feel really sorry.
We could not believe how the incident happened so fast and it worried my co workers that were aged above 40 and had no maintenance medicine for their high blood pressure.
Today was Dondon's burial and we could not come to bid our last goodbye due to work.
As we age, we gradually ruin our body, it ruins itself due to aging and one should listen to his body because symptoms come slowly, and some come late and is already irreversible.
I hope you are listening to your body too. Have you?
We need to prioritize our health first because that's the most important thing and work doesn't matter because anytime, someone can fill it up. Condolences to the family of Dondon for his passing.
