I was thinking about not going to work last Thursday because of a sudden chest pain that struck me but then I changed my mind when it suddenly went away. But throughout that afternoon and into the next two days, my head was heavy and I was feeling grouchy, tired, and generally not well. When I went to the clinic, I found out that my blood pressure was a bit high, although not at an alarming level yet. This brought me to panic mode again, making me think about the food I ate the last few days and the fact that I haven’t been active at all since the badminton tournament last month. I also am a bit stressed out and not sleeping well the past few days, so I know what I had to do. Hay, I’m not even 30 (although very soon, I’ll be) and I already have to suffer through this! I guess there’s no better motivation to be a health buff than actually going through some health problems. Better start early before I have any need for constant medication, or worse, treatments like oral chelation. Chelation therapy is a form of treatment that targets, more specifically “chelates,” calcium deposits in the arteries so the blood can flow freely to the heart. It comes in the form of oral EDTA chelation, which means taking tablets like any regular medicine. It’s not a drastic treatment as surgery is, but still, the best way to go is prevention. Start at the cause and then try to maintain living the healthy way.
