Yasume is 63 years old and has high blood pressure, which she was diagnosed with two years ago. At the time, her symptoms which included headaches, palpitations and swollen ankles badly affected her and made day-to-day tasks very challenging.
When Yasume began attending the health clinic two years ago, her blood pressure was measured and found to be high and she was started on medication straight away. Now, Yasume attends the clinic every month to collect her medication and see the chronic disease health officer, who checks her blood pressure, asks about symptoms and prescribes another month of drug treatment. Her symptoms no longer cause her trouble and Yasume says she’s feeling a lot better.
