The last week of May of 2013 was a real hell for me. I was in a total shock and panic. I have never thought that discontinuing hypertensive meds will bring an unfortunate trail of bringing myself to the ER. It was a hell of unfortunate events and my confidence and well being was greatly affected.
After having been exposed to the medical world, i soon decided to have a "NO SALT, NO PORK AND NO BEEF DIET." Although my primary physician told me to just stay away from pork and beef, i decided nothing less but do the no salt, no pork and no beef diet.
I was practically paranoid and depressed and after a series of diagnostic tests; from whole abdominal ultrasound, 2d echo, thyroid ultrasound, blood work, chemistries, and stress test, my headache remains at the back of my head.
My primary physician advised me to see an ophthalmologist so as an obedient patient, i went to have a check on my eyes. To my horror, the ophthalmologist pre diagnosed me of having a suspected glaucoma due to a very high eye pressure. I was down, weary, and depressed after hearing those and was scheduled to have a series of tests to see if i do have glaucoma. After doing the test, i went back and thank God, I was diagnosed of having an ocular hypertension due to my high blood pressure instead.
After three months, came August and because of depression, anxiety and lack of confidence, my hair became gray and almost white and yes, i look so old and aged so i decided to have my hair dyed but to my horror I reacted to the dye and i had hypersensitivity.
It took me a series of trip to the ER about four or five times and after a consult with a dermatologist, i am slightly well and on my way to full recovery.
After these health issues that i had since May of 2013, i decided to change my outlook in life and forget all the negativeness and anxieties. I want to live my life again as before. I want to be happy and i want to move on.
Happiness is a choice and i am making my own choice, to be happy that is why i am moving on. I am saying goodbye to depression, anxiety, negativity, paranoia, and the ghosts within myself.
I am moving ON and it is a CHOICE!
