I was diagnosed with high blood pressure due to heart palpitations and a feeling of tightness.

A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a health check-up, but my blood pressure was too highㅠㅠ so I couldn't get the endoscopy done.

The doctor said I have high blood pressure and need to take hypertension medicationㅠㅠ So, I am taking hypertension medication.

I'm still young, so it was really sad to hear that I have to take hypertension medication, but I decided to think positively—it's better to take medication and not get worse than to let it worsen and become more serious later on.^^

High blood pressure! Eat dark chocolate and cocoa.

Small amounts of dark chocolate or cocoa powder contain a high level of flavonoids, which help to dilate blood vessels.

There are many research findings indicating that actual chocolate and cocoa can help with short-term heart health. However, it is best not to consume them in excessive amounts and to choose products with high cocoa content that contain less sugar.

So, I bought dark chocolate that contains 92.5% cacao. I thought it would be very bitter and not taste good, but surprisingly, it's pretty decent~~ I think it's good to eat one piece after exercising or when I crave a late-night snack.
