I have been taking medication for hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure for 15 years.

My mother is 80 years old this year. She is currently receiving treatment for hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure at a university hospital and taking medication.

As you get older, you can't control your weight with diet and exercise.

Besides, since we don't live together, I can't always take care of you. Did you at least take your medication properly?

I'll check over the phone.

Still, it's fortunate that you don't have diabetes, one of the three major diseases, and you don't have any joint pain, so you can go anywhere without any problems.

I am grateful

I have been checking my high blood pressure regularly with a home blood pressure monitor, and for hyperlipidemia, I have been getting blood tests every six months while eating less fried foods, flour-based foods, snacks, and carbonated drinks, and walking regularly.

You have been going to a private hospital for about 5 years and have been going to a university hospital for 10 years, and your blood pressure and hyperlipidemia levels have been low.

It's good, not worse

Also, university hospitals change medications whenever new drugs for hyperlipidemia and hypertension are released, and check if there are any other side effects.

I think I was able to maintain it for a long time because you looked after it so carefully.

My mother is doing social work by volunteering at a welfare center for the elderly every month.

By maintaining a peaceful mind through religious life and being mentally bright without stress, it is also helpful in improving high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.

I think it was very helpful

 

Then, about two years ago, he stopped taking his medication for about six months because his high blood pressure and high cholesterol were well managed.

Then, out of the blue, while I was not taking the medicine, I got facial paralysis twice in 3 months...ㅠ

After that, my mother realized the importance of taking medication for high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia.

The professor said that sequelae of cerebrovascular heart disease can occur.

I hope you get regular checkups and tests and take your medication without fail.

If you are a Cashdoc member and are taking medication for high blood pressure or high cholesterol, you can do so without consulting a doctor.

Don't stop taking your medication without permission

Dangerous things can happen to anyone, so please be careful.
