My mother is a 53-year-old housewife and she has hypertension. When she consumes
foods that are too salty, acidic, or excessive and uncontrolled, the disease will be felt. The
environment also affects this disease. When the condition of the house is messy or too noisy,
hypertension will come out.
When the symptoms of hypertension already appear, such as dizziness, fatigue, emotional
overflow, etc., my mother will make a mixture of spices to reduce these symptoms. My sister as
a pharmacist, suggests taking pills like amlodipine. With the effect of drowsiness, my mother can
take a break to control the disease.
As a nursing student, what I did when I saw that my mother had felt these symptoms,
what I could do was:
1. check blood pressure. If blood pressure is too high, my sister recommended
consuming 10mg of amlodipine,
2. seeing her condition. If my mother's face is pale or not strong enough to stand up,
I tell her to sit down for a while and drink mineral water,
3. create a good atmosphere around my mother,
4. and lastly, asking my mother to rest.
After taking the medicine and resting, my mother's hypertension was preventable and a
more terrible side effect was avoided.
