For a start, hubby has been having high cholesterol. He takes good care of his health, exercises often and have good eating habits, but he still ended up having high cholesterol (it's heredictary as mother in law is with high cholesterol and high b.p. as well). He has been complaining about having neck ache and giddy spells off and on. Then one morning, he found himself not able to stand up because he was feeling giddy and dizzy. He went to the see the doctor later in the evening and his b.p. were 143/90 !!!The doctor is monitoring him and he will be going to do a full medical check up soon. However, he he did a cholesterol test a few days ago and although his result is still high, it's an improvement compared to his earlier results done some 6 months ago. We also bought an automatic home blood pressure monitor (OMRON IA2) to help him monitor his b.p. He has been recording readings between 130/85 and 140/95. He's not on medication. Well, not yet and that is something we wish to avoid, if we can.
His full medical check up should be able to shed more lights. For the time being, he is keeping a close eye on his diet.
