Energy drinks are able to activate the Flight and Fight response system of the body which is meant to respond to emergencies called the SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM

Energy drinks cause this system to fire excessively, this can cause the Heart to beat fast which then show as Palpitations

Nice question on Stroke. Let me attempt to make it interesting ( A long Read)

A Stroke happens when the Blood supply to the brain is cut off.

Imagine the Brain has some pipes ( blood vessels) that feed it with blood. When these pipes burst or get blocked, it cuts off blood to the brain.

The Brain depends a lot on blood, in a matter of minutes that part of the Brain dies - THAT IS A STROKE Fastest way to know a Stroke.
Well, it has lot of symptoms depending on what part of the Brain.

For Public education let's use the code FAST

Face drops
Arm/Leg weak
Speech changes
Time to get to a hospital ( faster you get to a hospital better)

Other symptoms can happen

Nigerian Raw Beans is one of the most dangerous foodstuff you can find in the market.

As a fact, some countries have banned Nigerian beans importation.

If you must eat beans, wash, boil, discard, wash again to remove the dangerous chemicals.

From my digging and research

The EU banned the importation of Nigerian beans in 2015 as it was deemed toxic and poisonous.

The Beans were preserved with Chemicals and Pesticides that might unsafe for human consumption.

Let me give you an update of what is going on in Hospitals now due to the NLC shutting light and the strike

I got to work this morning.

First, The Electronic Medical Record was shut down which means we didn't have access to patients and what was done and cannot do anything Pharmacies and Laboratory cannot function because they run on light which means patients cannot get their medications and get there.
So we can't really say what's going on in the blood.

These here on the Legs are VARICOSE VEINS & if you have these on your legs you should be worried

Varicose veins means the valves of the vein are not working well and blood isn't flowing the way it should.

These increases the risk of clots forming in the legs

We have all been hearing news about young people (under 40s) who just died of an unknown cause

They were not sick, not involved in an accident. Died suddenly

I'm glad we are having a conversation around what are possible causes

Here are my submissions- A Doctor's perspective

https://twitter.com/imohumoren/status/1744703172961013952

What I think

I'd hypothesize that Hypertension might be tops. A lot of young people don't know their blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a silent killer.

It will just continue till one day, one has a heart attack. Not everyone makes it from a Heart attack
( Most don't)

In 2024, If you have funds or know people with lot of money

Here are ideas you can invest in & become an overnight billionaire in Nigeria in 2024

1 Invest in Dialysis centers- the way people take alcohol, drugs, bleaching, Agbo etc. We definetly will hit a kidney damage endemic

https://twitter.com/FirstDoctor/status/1740340875354583107

More than 80% of people cannot afford new kidneys. there will be a rise in demand of dialysis as temporary measure

2
Build a standard Mental facility- On colos & hard drug use is already rampant. Awareness around mental health is increasing. Users of drugs will start to see

So I've seen this drug being taken a lot by Elderly and a few young people.

Seen it kill 2 people and thought to talk about it after going through research & reviews.

The Drug which is a fast seller 'ADIMEMU'. So the name ADIMENU is a Yoruba word meaning Hold under the tongue.

So people take the drug, put it under their tongue or just leave it in the mouth to dissolve.

So I decided to do a quick research and read about what exactly it is.
How did it find its way into households.

A lot of people don't know how expensive taking care of Kidney diseases can be.

Protecting your kidneys should be utmost priority.

I will try and explain with Estimated figures how expensive it is for someone with Chronic Kidney disease who requires Dialysis

Please share A breakdown of price in Naira (rough estimates)

Dialysis costs like 50K in lot of federal facilities (give or take).

private can charge up to 80K ..some highbrow hospitals e.g Lagos, Abuja can charge up to 150K per dialysis.

Dialysis is temporary in CKD

Normalise checking , looking, observing your Urine & Poo (Faeces) in the toilet before flushing it

Your Urine & Poo says a lot about what is going on in your system.
Don't be in a haste to flush. Look

Here are some things to look out for or can be suggestive

Read and share URINE

Deeply coloured- not taking enough water

Bubbling and foaming so much like detergent- could be a kidney disease.

Red or Bloody- could be kidney problem.

Dark Coke coloured- could be Liver problem or digestive tract problem.

Little urine- not taking enough water

Coincidentally today is #WorldPilesDay

A quick one on Hemorrhoids, aka Piles or ‘Jedi-Jedi’

They are swollen veins in the Anus & lower part of the rectum (See pic).

Imagine normal blood supply of the Anus Balloons out.
It can be disturbing & cause discomfort to a person.

https://twitter.com/Naija_PR/status/1726570760368758816

Some risks associated with Hemorrhoids are:

- Sitting for long period on the toilet
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Low fiber diet
- Straining when pooing
- Prolonged diarrhea or constipation
- Anal sex

A lot of these can weaken or redistribute pressure of these blood vessels.

Zobo needs no artificial sweeteners

Zobo has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on Blood pressure
