Good morning n'landers particular doctors in the house.

I don't even know the right section to post this cause it looks more of Witchcraft to me

I will just head straight to the point.

I have this passion for joining the military, but the issue I am having is High Blood Pressure which usually occurred whenever it is about to be checked during the medical screening. And this year made it the third time it's happening to me.

If I check it elsewhere, places like normal clinic or chemist, it will be normal 120/70mmHg but when it comes to the real business, I mean at the screening center, my heart will be beating faster and it will causes the blood pressure to be elevated. Something like 150/90mmHg and above.

The last one that happened really pissed me off! I even took a drug named nifedipine - 20mg and backed it up with garlic but immediately it's my turn to be checked, my heart started beating faster and uncontrollable, I was asked to go and relax and come back but yet, this problem still persist.

But immediately I left the medical screening venue, I was calmed.

2 days after this, those of us with BP issues were given grace to a recheck, but immediately it was about to get to my turn, I got tensed again.

And it led to my eviction

A day after, I went to a nearby chemist to check, to my surprise, it was just 110/70mmHg.

Pls how can I rectify this? Any remedy?

I know some will say; joining the military is not my way, but pls just help me. I need to know what the problem is.

Thanks.

Cheers!!

Your Guardian angel is trying to save you from impending disaster but seems your village people are bent on destroying you.

What's the actual cause? Anxiety? Tension? And how can it be controlled?

Please help me with the link to the thread. Many thanks boss.

When u read it you'll realise ur case is same with hundreds of people..BP is the highest factor in withdrawing applicants during the screening.
The tension in the atmosphere causes the anxiety,avoid BP drugs...just approach the issue with a lackadaisical mindset,you'll be calm

Relax your mind,free my mind and relieve yourself from tension

It is anxiety. You will need to master mind control and ability to "relax" under stressed conditions/situations. Or you might be having white coat syndrome.That bp shit dropped a lot of guys during the DSSC medical screening I partook many yrs back. . My BP reading was absolutely normal but the na man know man syndrome removed me.

Tips
: Try to rest well a day to the medicals
: Drink a considerable amount of water
:Take deep breaths from the diaphragm and not chest region during the blood pressure check.
: Practice mind control.
:

These tips are for those that have very normal blood pressure at rest mode <120mmhg/<80mmhg

Anxiety
You need to learn how to relax under pressure

Me too I'm still fighting anxiety like every secs of the day

Caused by Anxiety, Worries, Tension, Fear...
Learn to relax you mind before such tests eg thru listening to music, singing, watch comedy, meditation or any other thing that can relax your mind & not allow your mind to focus on the test.

I really appreciate you sir

It worked this time boss!

I channeled my thinking on something else, happy moment and about b##bs

I was surprised I made 120/65 at first
And the second was 110/60

But without God, it wouldn't have been possible.. thank you Jesus
