Health problems and the impact on my life / WEEK 260

Happy weekend to everyone, today I want to share with you a topic that caught my attention and is related to health. The main topic that brings us @galenkp

¿What has been your biggest health problem (your own personal health) and how has it affected your life?

When I was a teenager I lived a life without needing to worry about my health. I had really been quite healthy, I am thankful for that. But as time and years went by, illnesses began to appear that have caused me a lot of discomfort until today.

After my first pregnancy I began to suffer from hypertension, to date I have 16 years suffering from this disease; taking pills to control my values and not suffer from these discomforts as bad as intense headaches. In addition to prevent cerebrovascular accidents.

I had a rather delicate episode where my leg fell asleep and I couldn't move. I didn't want to think it was due to stress. The truth is that the next day I went to my cardiologist and he gave me a diagnosis. I was on the verge of having a stroke.

But that's not all, I also suffer from metabolic syndrome with insulin resistance. This condition, which I had after the pandemic, has completely changed my life. I have put on a lot of weight, my strength is no longer the same, my emotional side has been touched.

It's not that I haven't tried to solve this situation. I have been to many doctors, I have even tried natural medicine. It frustrates me not to have positive results, knowing that I have done everything for my wellbeing.

These two diseases have changed me completely. One is controlled, but I already have an addiction to pills. And the other I have not been able to reverse, making me feel very bad physically and mentally. It is not easy. I have been recommended other specialists, which I have in mind to visit at any time.

This is my participation this week and I take the opportunity to invite @cebt2008.

I bid you farewell and see you at a later date.
