A month ago, he woke up screaming he can't get up again my mum try 2 help him get up but one side of his body iz gone paralyzed suddenly, we rushed him to d company hospital quickly were dey told us his BP iz gone too high( 220) I was like whaaaat D doctor kips yearling y didn't he come 4 check ups... My mum wipe thru out dat day... If not 4 prayers nd d very good hospital don't knw wat it would had been now. He's now getting better after spending 3weeks @d hospital trying to walk wit d help of a crutch... All am saying iz if any or your parents or relatives iz in dat kind of situation plz n plz make sure dey are regularly checked, and ave a BP tester @ home if possible nd take their medication daily cos if one have it according to d doc its 4 life thing but it can b managed and try not to make dem angry ok.

Speedy recovery to your dad

This is a lovely thread, full of consideration for the family of others. Thanks. I also have family members who suffer from HBP but they take their drugs. Fortunately.

TrippleKAY,

are you sure that your dad didn't have a stroke since he was paralyzed?
High blood pressure can cause strokes and lead to one-sided paralyzation.
