Today I received one of my known patient of High Blood Pressure with complaints of severe headache and vomiting. He was admitted in hospital and managed with antihypertensive drugs accordingly. We did his CT scan and found a brain haemorrage in frontal lobe. He was reffered to Lahore General Hospital for intervention. But he, unfortunately, could not reach hospital and died on the way.

Now why I write this all story here. This patient was already taking my medicine for high blood pressure for last one year. But for the last 2 months he was not taking any medicine. Result was that his blood pressure was not under control for the last 2 months. He just ignored his medicine and symptoms.  and you all see what happened to him.

I am not going to discuss here signs and symptoms of brain haemorrhage here, I just want to clarify here the importance of blood pressure medicine. Dont omit your blood pressure medicine without advice of your doctor. Blood pressure has many serious complications including life threatening brain haemorrhage. You should take your medicine regularly to prevent yourself from any such complication.
