00:00 More than 12 million Filipinos have hypertension.

00:04 According to the 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey,

00:08 DOH considers the disease commonly diagnosed as a "trader"

00:13 when it is attacked by complications.

00:16 Mark Salazar is a witness.

00:18 Milo Florendo is 45 years old with a mass stroke.

00:25 A stroke that was not cured because he was not feeling anything.

00:30 I had no vision, no cigarette, I just went home and it was hot.

00:33 It was like a heat stroke.

00:35 Milo has been on maintenance medicine for two decades

00:38 and he learned to feel his body.

00:41 This is Alan Landera,

00:43 he also discovered that he was hypertensive by accident

00:47 when he was asked to check up for other reasons.

00:49 I had high cholesterol and high blood sugar.

00:58 According to the Department of Health, hypertension is a "trader"

01:02 because it is commonly discovered when you are attacked by complications

01:07 such as heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.

01:11 But sometimes, there are early warnings of high blood pressure

01:14 such as dizziness, headache, blurred vision, palpitations, and weakness.

01:21 Your blood pressure is normal when your BP is less than 120/80.

01:26 We call it borderline if the BP is 120/139 over 80/89.

01:32 As we said, hypertension should be more than or equal to 140/90

01:38 on two separate occasions.

01:40 If you are a silent killer, you will not feel anything.

01:44 Milo and Alan are among the more than 12 million Filipinos

01:48 who are hypertensive, according to the 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey.

01:54 High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, heart failure, or sudden blood jam.

02:02 The DOH is encouraging proper lifestyle education to avoid hypertension.

02:08 You should not eat salty and sweet foods, and do not be lazy in exercising.

02:13 Weight is also a big factor.

02:15 If you are among the 23 million Filipinos who are obese,

02:19 your chances of becoming hypertensive is 65 to 75 percent.

02:24 We also need to exercise, and of course, we should avoid vices.

02:31 The DOH is giving paninigarilio as the primary enemy

02:36 because of alarming data that 1.1 million young people aged 13 to 15 are already taking paninigarilio.

02:44 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar is your witness.
