Something I should also add is that in the month of August, a friend living in Ikeja travelled out of the country and had me stay in his apartment with my fiancé, I was very sexually active around this time, we had sex more than once everyday until the 25th of August, it was around 24th August I started feeling this type of way, we used condoms through out and I have checked and cleared all doubts of STIs, but the sex was quite exhausting at a time because she always wanted more while she’s on the plus size and I’m a slim guy, so you know I was exerting a lot of energy, my friend joking talked about checking my BP and I waved it off so I don’t know if High blood pressure could actually be the cause of all this or the blood pressure is a result of the sleeplessness.
Give your life to Christ, secure your eternal life first and rest of mind will be added unto you. And you won't have to punish your body in marathon sinful sex which will take you to hell at the end of the day.

Exactly, ginger is best in regulating BP. Lime or lemon would do. I boil mine, make a batch of 4 bottles and refrigerate. Then drink first thing in the morning, at nights too

Yeah... People but prefer wasting money at pharmacist in d quest for better health when God has blessed us with natural cure for all

If you add two basic herbs to the above combo and take every morning,two hours before breakfast,you maintain your liver daily,reduce pains due to autoimmune sickness of rheumatism/arthritis and help males in their sexual obligations.

at 26 sex cant be the reason ,u need a change of schedule/lifestyle.try to live very near your office,create time for gym/swimming/long roadwalks and you didnt tell us if you are into drugs,marijuana etc.
the way u guys live these days obviously many will die before their time.it is not a curse,it is a consequence of chronic wrong living.u have to manage this or u will get sacked and compound your problem.
best advice is you give your life to Christ,your problem may be spiritual and it is GOD that gives his beloved sleep.

Hi,

Sleeplessness all known as insomnia was something I battled with as well. Have your family members asked you, How was mai guard duties? grin grin grin.. You wake up grumpy, tired and lethargic..Pele ooo

Please Google CBD Oil and insomnia. Do your own research about the Endocannabinoid system, CB1 and CB2 receptors. I use and sell CBD Oil and it's greatly improved my sleeplessness.

Feel free to ask me for more info..

Visit a government owned hospital, possibly teaching hospital. Change your doc.

DIY:

Secondly, stay away from sleeping pills, don't depend on it for long. If you do, you will become dependent on it and gradually, your tolerance level will increase. You don't want that.

Three, reduce your stress. Everything that brings stress to your doorstep, manage it. Be it work, sex life, financial situation, etc

Four, reduce your salt intake by all means. If my wife cook my rice with just little salt, I'm not eating that rice. My doctor's advice and I don't joke with it. I'm not even on medication.

Five, find little time for exercise. 15 minutes everyday jogging is enough. Work stress is not equivalent to exercise.

Six, go to bed early, observe your 7 hours "bedtime" religiously. Switch off your phone by 9pm everyday no matter what and go to bed. Eat your super before 7pm no matter how inconvenient it might be.

If you can afford it, a tin of milk with cold water after super should help you with sound night sleep.

I have some vital questions to ask you, they may seem silly but do answer and honestly:
1)Do you sweat more than normal and/or find it slight increase in temperature very discomforting?
2)How is your eating habits since the symptoms you described arose? Are you eating a lot more/more/less? It also follows that you will visit the toilet frequently, so do you?
3) How's your energy level? Have easier physical exertions become exhausting? Has your physical endurance limit reduced?
4)Is your eye sight got worse or the same as before?
5) You said you was lanky, so does your weight drastically fluctuate with respect to level of stress and/or food quality and quantity?

Please answer the questions truthfully and I'll give a reply based on them.
Remember high BP is a symptom of an ailment of which there are plenty. Stay hopeful.
No I don’t sweat more than normal
I think I tend to eat a lot more now, I have always loved food though
Yes I tend to lose some weight but not so much that it becomes obvious immediately
My eye sight, this one has gone worse, I always feel dizzy and like my eyes are going to close anytime soon

Good day people,

A month ago, I suddenly started feeling pain in my chest and dizzy eyes and numb palms and feet, I thought it was shortness of blood because I have been stressed for the past 6 months waking up out of bed getting into traffic to work and coming back in traffic late at night.

The chest pain feeling like my heart skipping a beat still didn’t go away, i couldn’t get a sound sleep every morning I wake up unrefreshed and tired through out the day

I checked my blood pressure one day at the pharmacy and it was abnormally high and I’m just 26 I went to the doctor and conducted PCV to check my blood count, malaria test and fasting sugar, all came out normal, he suspected angina so I also did an ECG which also came out normal, the doctor gave me paracetamol, vitamin B12 capsule and since then that is how I have been frequenting the hospital, each time the blood pressure still high.

Last week I was still at the doctor last Thursday and my BP was 148/96 at my age, yet the doctor doesn’t really tell me much he just keep prescribing the same sleeping pills and vitamin B12 and iron capsule.

Right now I presently can’t help myself to sleep, my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work, I can’t seem to get anything done because my eyes get heavy and my head be pounding me seriously. I don’t know what is going on I’m gradually losing the sharp young man I used to be.

Please, I don’t know if anybody has gone through a phase like this or if we have experienced doctors in the house please.

Please I need all the help I can get

Please, if you masturbate stop it and thank me later

OP, I don't pray to welcome you to the club.

I have been there and still suffer the same thing — since 2007. Fortunately, yours isn't chronic yet. While I won't advise you to quit your job (like I did), because of the nature of the country, you need to find ways to reduce stress and relax better.

Medications are not usually the solution, though they may help in the short term. Reducing stress and exercising regularly will help you. Breathing deeply while in bed may help too. Don't forget to switch off the lights before going to bed. I have found that reading funny comments here, while in bed, helps me laugh hard, and it tends to improve my sleep — probably the brain releasing more relaxing chemicals like the endorphins.

But medically, having an elevated blood pressure at your age isn't normal. While it seems to be as a result of the stress, the right thing is to rule out other possible causes of elevated blood pressure in the young, such as hyperadrenalism, thyroid conditions, and kidney conditions. So, if you have enough money, I will suggest you visit the hospital and do the necessary tests — Adrenal hormonal assays, Thyroid function test, Kidney function test, and abdominal ultrasound.

The tests you mentioned are very sensitive tests that usually yield unreliable results.
Again, only a few hospitals run them.

I'm not in Nigeria so I don't know how much it could be sold...but take care of ur health, it's not a must u use the Nuravit, get the bp done first and minimize whatever drugs u take... If u want to go for my opinion, stop every other drugs first for a day or two then get any drugs u know can make u sleep, while u may always feel drowsy taking it, just have ur bath to cool off then take a stroll after u can start using the mixture I recommended.... I hope God gives u sound health soon, after all don't forget to pray before u take ur drugs ok

Re: Please Help, Insomnia Is Killing Me by 2black1(m): 10:20pm On Oct 04, 2019
The biggest problem in Nigeria's medical sector is incomplete or wrong diagnosis.
As someone rightly pointed out,there is a high chance of an underlying factor causing the high bp.
I also had similar symptoms about four years ago only that in addition to yours, I was also very restless whether day or night and sweated a lot.
Did all kinds of tests ranging from Liver function to Kidney function to blood sugar tests and a host of others until my doctor ordered a thyroid function test and it showed that I was suffering symptoms of hyperthyroidism.(overactive thyroid)
I have been taking Carbimazole for a while and my bp has been normal.
The symptoms have improved drastically as well.
You need to do tests to be know the root cause of this.
