THE LOUD KILLERS
Hypertension, otherwise known as high blood pressure has been coined as the silent killer. Many people who have this disorder may not have any symptoms alerting them that their blood pressure is elevated. If there are no symptoms, no treatment is sought. And, high blood pressure can lead to other problems, strokes affecting your mind or heart attacks affecting the muscles in your heart. These are two of the most life sustaining organs.
If you suspect that you may have high blood pressure or in a routine exam the disorder is detected, your physician will write a prescription for a medication to treat the hypertension. If you take the medication, as directed, it will control the disease. And, if other instructions are carried out; such as healthy eating and exercise, it has been noted, in rare cases, the medications can be prescribed in smaller dosages or, in some instances, can be stopped. Of course, the disease must be monitored to prevent reoccurrence.
Today, there are loud killers. Loud because the symptoms are bold, intense and boisterous. These disorders can gripe your heart, squeeze and blocks life sustaining products from entering. They can damage your heart, by injecting poisons. The toxins travel throughout your body causing irrational, erratic behaviors, causing destruction. Also, these aliments can take over you mind, altering all brain functions and practical abilities.
The loud killers are the emotions of Stress, Worry, Anger, and Pity, for the sake of this post, I will refer to them as S.W.A P.
- Stress is a mental tension caused by the problems in your life. According to research, I found online, stress is connected with heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. Stress can be triggered by money, employment and relationships.
- Worry means to continuously ponder on problems or fears thinking that something has or could happen. Worry is a negative prayer. The concept of constantly thinking about a problem over and over trying to find a solution, on your ability. Worry can cause insomnia, weight loss, stress eating and headaches.
- Anger is having a strong feeling of being upset or annoyed. Anger can be bullets of hot emotion damaging anything that it hits. If uncontrolled anger can lead to physical, emotional, and mental damage.
- Pity reflects an extreme feeling of sadness or sympathy. It is the Woe Is Me Syndrome. When you think no one understands you, the world is against you, no one has never been in your situation; no one ever helps you, you are the only one that hurts. It is all about you and your sorrow. You feel alone and isolated.
S.W.A.P affects all of us. It can be contagious. It can metastasize to your words, thoughts and emotions. You may not effected by all four. You may have one, or a combination of two. If not treated, S.W.A.P can lead into to more serious diseases that can lead to death. What are you to do?
What happens when you discover you have a disease? You go the physician, he or she examines you and writes a prescription. Then, you follow the instructions and take the medicine.
Well, here are the instructions to do if you have S.W.A.P or a few of the elements. Go to the Lord, He is the Almighty Physician.
