Health Concerns @ 21

A few weeks ago I blogged about a suspected health concern I was experiencing for some days. It was two straight days back then when I experienced this intense half face ache from my forehead up to the area under my right eye, not only that I also felt this twitching on my right eye. The ache was so intense that I had to rest from work and consult the doctor in our company's lousy and not-so-reliable healthcare service provider. Fortunately, I was given a check-up and was asked to undergo some tests.

I haven't undergone all the 5 medical tests until I asked for a second opinion from our ever trusted family physician. After getting blood and attaching apparatus on my body, I've waited for a day to get the results. I've been praying constantly that I wouldn't get anything from what I was unintentionally doing back then when I was a kid.

Childhood & Sweets

My parents spoiled me very much with chocolates, candies, cholesterol-rich foods, chips, and some unhealthy food. I can't blame them since I was the first and only son they have, I don't mean that sarcastically. I mean masarap naman talaga ang bawal. There's a nine-year gap between me and my sister. I can still remember vividly when we still have our bakeshop back then. Everytime my mom bakes pastries & cakes, I used to eat the excess bread and the icing when mom leaves it on the fridge. Talking about gluttony. hay.

To make the long story short, I don't have highblood pressure, but my BP is at high normal already same as that of my dad's. I also don't have hypertension! Yey! for now, but this should also be a warning for me since I'm not getting any younger. All the aches and twitching was just Migraine. Thank God! it was nothing serious. The doctor told me that he got the same when he was also my age. The source? I don't know the doctor haven't stated it. Maybe it's because of work-related stress? or long exposure to computer radiation? I don't know. Up to this point I still don't know the culprit of this migraine that i developed so quickly. For now, I have to take this maintenance drug once a day, and take another one when it attacks.

So far so good! Still happy! Still healthy! ay mali pala. I still need to lose weight and watch what I'm eating pala, as per the 2 doctor's advise.
