A convenient way of blood monitoring





Maintaining a steady monitoring of blood pressure is difficult. Mom got tired of constant calling and knocking on my door for her blood pressure taken. She had decided to get a wrist type Blood pressure monitoring thru Watsons, she got this device packed with a Japanese technology as it indicated on the box. 

Omron wrist blood pressure monitor



The case is sealed tightly in a minimalist box, quite neat and clean. In the Philippines, this can be bought in Watsons stores worldwide, one of the leading stores supplying health, medical, food, and beauty merchandise to Filipinos.
A perfect advantage of this device is that it is compact and easy to carry anywhere. Mom usually goes from home and drives to her work and she needs to constantly monitor her blood pressure, this is a good device to wear so she can have a hassle free monitoring anytime of the day. She said that she hated it when she needed to disturb other people to just take her BP all the time. This device will allow her to independently use it. 


 Inside the box is the device for the wrist blood monitoring, a simple image instruction is on the top lid. It says there that the perfect level is at the level of your heart for an accurate reading since the arteries on your wrist are narrower and not deep under your skin as those of the upper arm.



I may be an ectomorph but whenever I do not monitor the amount of food I eat on a daily basis I get hypertension, although shown below is my normal blood pressure level, BP varies per person and should not rely on to what the book says is the 'normal level'. This has been my BP ever since.

Omron Wrist Blood Pressure monitor is made in China, A feature to record your blood pressure is on the small button with the paper and pen... It's loaded with two triple-A batteries and start and stop button initiates turning on and off of the device. 

Omron device is priced around P1,800 sold at Watson Stores in the Philippines

Ectomorph The blessed ones

We’re here to talk about…. Myself* ahem… people are often intrigued about my body type. They usually think that I don’t eat anything at all, or maybe I’m being starved to death. Seriously, I’m not. I have been like this starting 6 or 7 years old. This is my real body type. Let me explain. My body type is named: Ectomorphism or Ectomorph in short. Usually Ectomorph persons are tall in stature. Consider the fact though that my Mother is smaller than me and my Father too, plus our race which is a Filipino. Not to discriminate the height of Filipinos but usually the average height of a Filipino Male:  163.5 cm (5' 4.4")    and Filipino Woman: 151.8 cm (4' 11.8" )    according to: http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/height-chart.shtml .com. Literally, I have normal height for an average Filipino woman, my height is 4’11. As a cute child… When I was younger, I used to eat a lot especially when my favorite foods are served, Sinigang, or P...

It was all my fault this time I wasn't very careful about what I consumed. I had a combination of incredibly citrus juices and even had an acidic vitamin c right after, there and then after a few hours I had a Shock episode and I kept on trembling involuntarily, I felt so cold and I at that time, I was confused.

Best to consult specialist on multiple ailments

When it comes to several syndromes, we often get very confused which doctor or specialist that we want to consult to. Basically, we would consult a General Practitioner when we do not have any idea of the signs and symptoms that we get to feel in our body, that is true, but certain circumstances like we do have knowledge of what is occuring but would only like to know which person to consult to.  These are based on my personal experiences which best to consult on each situations: Internal Medicine Specialist ⇴You are experiencing heartburns or gastric pains , accompanied by menstrual pain , consult a internal medicine doctor best than a ob-gynecologist first and tell all the signs and symptoms.  Consulting an OB first might not be the best option that we have since dysmenorrhea is a natural symptom, but when we experience both pains at the same time that makes it unbearable it is one serious issue that we need to address, it is on my experience that I consult wit...
