00:00Ay, mga kapuso, high blood ka ba dahil sa mataas na bilihin o high blood ka dahil sa matinding traffic?
00:07Yan ang madalas nating narinig na biro.
00:09Pero teka lang ha, baka nga high blood ka na nang hindi mo namamalayan.
00:13Ako, totoo yan.
00:14Susan, ngayong umaga po, usapang high blood o alta presyo na pag-usapan natin ano nga bang dahilan ito at paano ito maagapan.
00:21Para tulungan tayong sagutin yan, mga kasama natin ngayong umaga,
00:24tagapagsalita at assistant secretary ng Department of Health, Dr. Albert Domingo.
00:29Doc, welcome sa unang hirit.
00:31Good morning, Ivan. Good morning, Susan.
00:32Salamat.
00:33Magpapa-unlock, oh.
00:35May pandala pang blood.
00:36Yan, ibipin na si Susan, Doc.
00:38Magkakaalaman na.
00:39Magkakaalaman na. Anyway, Doc, paano ba nagkakaroon ng high blood o hypertension ang isang tao?
00:45Kadalasan, Susan, kapag ang pagkain ng ating mamamayan ay maalat, mataba,
00:50o kaya naminigarilo, nagv-vape, umiinom ng alak at yung stress na sinasabi na pupuyat.
00:56Nagiging dahilan para tumaas ang ating blood pressure.
01:00Nga pala, Doc, may inanda kaming almusal.
01:03Meron kami crispy pata, meron kami chicharon.
01:07Dito na lang ako sa side na ito, pwede.
01:09Gusto ko na yung carrot, saka yung pepino.
01:12Yan, yan, pinatanong ni Susan, ano ba yung nakakapagpa-high blood?
01:15Ito, yan ang sagot, nasa mesa.
01:17Ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito
01:47Ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito
02:17Ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito, ito
02:47Let's show it, Doc.
02:48Okay, let's get it.
02:49Ow, my head hurts.
02:50There, so you should be in a relaxed position.
02:53Yes.
02:54Actually, ideally, we should have a table with our arms on it.
02:58And to talk.
02:59And to talk.
03:00But it's okay, it's like a cooking show.
03:02Cooking show.
03:03I'll show you.
03:04Demonstration.
03:05If you're using a needle, sometimes there's a, what do you call it, an arrow or a hammer.
03:09There's a marker.
03:10It should be in front of our elbow, in front of our bicep, it should be in front of it.
03:16There.
03:17Don't make it too tight.
03:18It's not like a suman where we wrap it too much.
03:21And usually, we put two fingers underneath.
03:24Why do you put it like that?
03:25That's what we're checking.
03:26Because if two fingers don't go in, it's too tight.
03:29Ah, okay.
03:30So it should fit.
03:31If three fingers go in, it's too loose.
03:34Okay, so it should be two.
03:35It should be two.
03:36So that's why it's placed like that.
03:37Just an example, okay?
03:38For example.
03:39For example, a table.
03:40But it should be placed like that.
03:41There, there.
03:42Then, we'll press it.
03:44There.
03:45That's where we'll press it, right?
03:47There.
03:48Sister Susan should not talk, right?
03:50So it should be just the two of us.
03:51Sister Susan's BP is high.
03:54It's like a bingo.
03:56It's increasing.
03:58So first of all, while we're doing this, we should not drink coffee.
04:02It's important because coffee is a caffeine soft drink that can increase blood pressure.
04:07And of course, we should not eat breakfast because if we eat breakfast, our blood pressure will also increase.
04:13So the number is going down.
04:15We can see that.
04:16Don't be surprised.
04:17You can see it in the metro.
04:18It's going up a bit.
04:19It might reach 160-170.
04:21That machine will really go up.
04:23And when it goes down, on Nationwide TV,
04:25it's only now that we're doing this, that we're doing blood pressure.
04:28And we can see that Sister Susan's blood pressure is normal.
04:32Let's clap!
04:35There.
04:36You know why?
04:37That's a party.
04:38I even had coffee.
04:39Armand gave it to me.
04:40Where's my coffee?
04:41Sister Susan is fond of vegetables.
04:44Very good.
04:45And fish.
04:46And fruits.
04:47Yes.
04:48That's what we want in our diet.
04:49Vegetables, fruits, and fish.
04:52And when it comes to fish, don't fry it.
04:53Steam it.
04:54Steam it.
04:55Boil it.
04:56Steam it.
04:57And of course, just be happy.
04:58Just laugh.
05:00Let's not get stressed.
05:01In work, we should also avoid stressful things.
05:04There are jobs that you can't avoid.
05:06I know that in the media, in medicine,
05:09we need mental health and wellness breaks.
05:12Vacation, deliberate meditation, etc.
05:15What are the symptoms of a person who has high blood pressure, Doc?
05:18For those who are listening to us.
05:20Because you said that you don't feel it, but you already have high blood pressure.
05:23That's right.
05:24I look around.
05:25It's not that I'm afraid of it.
05:26But maybe some people here are quiet.
05:28But maybe they already have high blood pressure.
05:29Do you look at old newspapers that have high blood pressure?
05:32That's a good question.
05:33Actually, you won't be able to see it.
05:35Okay.
05:36There is a misconception that only big, fat people have high blood pressure.
05:40That's not true.
05:41It can look normal.
05:42That's why it's important for us to check our blood pressure every day.
05:45So that we can be sure.
05:46A lot of people are getting nervous.
05:48For example, I tell myself that I usually exercise.
05:51I ride my bike.
05:53Is it okay?
05:55Am I safe if I don't have a high blood pressure?
05:57Yes.
05:58Our exercise is very good.
05:5930 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
06:01That's really a recommendation.
06:03But still check your blood pressure.
06:05Because we can't tell.
06:06It's not because you're an athlete.
06:08Yes, it's not.
06:09Especially if you're going to do heavy activities.
06:11You might think it's okay.
06:13But you have high blood pressure.
06:14Yes.
06:15For those of us who are watching,
06:16before we start exercising,
06:18it's better to consult a doctor first.
06:20So that we can have a clearance.
06:22Especially if it's a strenuous activity.
06:24Doc, how does hypertension affect strokes?
06:28Our blood vessels are like tubes.
06:31If the blood pressure is too high,
06:36over the years, over the decades,
06:38there will be small blisters.
06:40If there is a surge of pressure,
06:43that can be a sign that the blood pressure is high
06:46and there is a blister or hypertensive bleed.
06:49There is also a situation where the wall of our blood vessels
06:52hardens over time.
06:54Think about it.
06:55It's like the pressure is too high.
06:57Over and over again.
06:58So over the decades, it will harden.
07:00What happens is that the cholesterol...
07:02I can already see the cholesterol.
07:05Let's show it to everyone.
07:07Wait, wait, wait.
07:08It's his favorite.
07:09It has a lot of meat.
07:10If this is the blood vessel,
07:12that's its wall,
07:13that's what our cholesterol looks like inside.
07:16It hardens.
07:17And that's the reason why when it gets thicker,
07:19it looks like this.
07:20It's already thick.
07:21It's already barren.
07:22And it looks like...
07:23Where's the camera?
07:24There.
07:25It looks like it's barren
07:26and the blood can't flow anymore.
07:28Doc, that was a good demo.
07:29That was a good demo.
07:30Doc, can you zoom in on that?
07:32Where is it?
07:33It's really barren.
07:35Here, here, here.
07:36There, Doc.
07:37There, there.
07:38If we do this,
07:39it's really...
07:40It's already thick.
07:41It's already thick.
07:42Actually, it's hard to...
07:44There.
07:45I can see it.
07:46There.
07:47There's more.
07:48There's more.
07:49If it's an ischemic stroke,
07:50it's already barren.
07:51And now, Doc,
07:52most people have beliefs about high blood.
07:55Please answer if this is true or not.
07:57Myth or fact?
07:58Myth or fact.
07:59If the blood pressure is back to normal,
08:02can we stop drinking medicine
08:04and eating chicharron?
08:05Can we continue?
08:06Maybe we're really...
08:08It looks like we're all guilty of eating chicharron.
08:10It's healthy, right?
08:11Maybe we can reduce it,
08:12but we should consult a doctor
08:14because our blood pressure is going down
08:17because our medicine is declining.
08:19That's the signal.
08:20But the reasons...
08:21Maybe the doctor should check
08:23if we really avoided eating chicharron.
08:25If it's salty,
08:26did we really avoid it?
08:27If we're satisfied with it,
08:29and we do daily monitoring,
08:30then we can adjust our medicine.
08:32You should consult your doctor.
08:34Yes.
08:35Some people feel good
08:36when they stop drinking medicine.
08:38I'm okay with that.
08:39Don't do that.
08:40It's called asymptomatic.
08:41Because if we don't feel it,
08:43it's asymptomatic.
08:44It's like you think it's okay.
08:45And if the blood pressure goes up,
08:47it can cause a stroke.
08:50You can eat a lot again
08:52when you drink medicine.
08:54That's weird, Doc.
08:55There's medicine.
08:56There's medicine.
08:58You know,
08:59medicine and maintenance
09:00is so that we don't get a stroke.
09:02But it's more expensive to go to the hospital
09:03if you get a stroke.
09:05Ivan, you have a question, right?
09:07Yes.
09:08Is it true that drinking pineapple juice
09:12and garlic makes our blood pressure go down?
09:16That's why we have garlic.
09:18Is it true, Doc?
09:19The effect of vegetables and fruits
09:21when we eat them
09:23is typically crowded out.
09:25For example,
09:26when we see this,
09:27instead of choosing to be full
09:30of salty and fatty foods,
09:32we choose the fiber we eat.
09:34But that's not the only reason
09:36why our blood pressure goes down.
09:38Our medicine is also important.
09:41And of course,
09:42our lifestyle changes.
09:44When we exercise,
09:455 mmHg goes down.
09:47The number you saw earlier,
09:49if earlier it was 116,
09:51but now it's 5 mmHg.
09:53If you exercise,
09:54it might go up to 110-111.
09:565 mmHg.
09:57You should plant more.
09:59That's right.
10:00We still have a long weekend.
10:02Thank you very much,
10:03Dr. Albert Domingo of DOH.
10:05Armand,
10:06bring me your cucumber,
10:07carrots,
10:08and your garlic.
10:09It will help you take care of your health.
10:12Remember,
10:13it's better to avoid
10:14than to maintain.
10:17Doc, thank you.
10:18Thank you, Doc.
10:19Thank you.
10:21Thank you.
10:22Thank you.
10:23Thank you.
