I lost my grandmother at a really tender age, as a kid I used to miss her a lot but then I came across my friend’s grandmother as I went to see my friend at her home. This was my very first meeting with her grandmother and I found her to be very kind and loving soul. Soon I developed a loving bond with her, she used to bake cake for me and my friend and tell us stories from her past beautiful times. In short she just considered me as her own grandchild and I had the same love for her and years passed by like this, but now recently with advancing age she has been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I felt deep sorrow.
I beg for blood pressure monitor for her. This is common issue but not having a blood pressure for her keeps me tensed because the blood pressure should be monitored on regular basis to prevent any further aggravation. As the doctor said if not taken proper measure and monitored on regular basis, she might have brain hemorrhage or heart attack. These words were no less than bombshells hitting our heart and mind.
The doctor has also prescribed her some medicine to take on daily basis with some necessary measure like walking some steps, taking low cholesterol diet, less fatty foods and low salt diet that will help her get better and lower the chances of fatal heart problems.
