Good morning. I beg you, share this post!
These days too many young people are dying from hypertension—completely avoidable deaths.
I’m very sure 90% of the people reading this post know at least one person who has died from high blood pressure recently; I can count about ten young people this year alone.
The sad part is that almost all of them refused to go for regular checkups, and when they are finally diagnosed at a later stage, they still refuse to take their BP medication.
Sadly, some of the reasons the guys (men especially) give are just absurd: “What you don’t know won’t kill you, so I won’t check.” Or, “When I take the medication, my pen!s won’t wake up.
Ebei! My brother, you yourself need to wake up first before you start worrying about whether your “Kwaku Piece” will stand attention and salute.
Even on an aeroplane they say: fix your own oxygen mask before helping others. So senior, please take your medication so that you will sleep and wake up first. We will sort your “Kwaku” out later.
Let me tell you something: with high blood pressure, you’ll even be fortunate to die. Because if you’re not fortunate and stroke grabs you, your whole life will become miserable.
In fact, if you’re not careful and you go down with stroke—or you die—that is when your “Kwaku” will fall down flat forever.
Brothers, like the Akans say, “I’m holding your leg” do a test today! Take your medication!
Thank you
