A 31-year-old Nigerian man has died after he suffered a heart attack in the UK, two months after his wife moved there to join him.
This was shared by a Nigerian doctor on the X platform. He said the deceased slumped and died in Hull City.
He admonished Nigerians above 30 years of age to ensure they check their blood pressure regularly.
He wrote;
‘’A young Nigerian man died yesterday in hull city uk from a heart attack. He slumped, collapsed and died.
He was only 31 years old.
His wife only moved to UK to join him two months ago.
Dear young people,
If you are 30years and above,
This is another reminder:
Pls kindly do regular checkups.
Especially your blood pressure.
Pls check it every 6months.
Go to your doctor,
Do your weight, height, blood pressure and general medical checkup. Young people can die suddenly.
If you are too busy or can’t get a doctor’s appointment, buy your own bp machine. It’s very cheap and you can order online or buy at any pharmacy.
Check your bp at home.
Check it at least once every 3-6months.
If your bp is higher than 135/85, pls go and see your doctor. Or if it is lower than 90/60, pls see your doctor.
An uncontrolled or undetected persistently high blood pressure can cause a stroke, permanent paralysis, sudden collapse, heart attack and death.
Please take this advice seriously.
Death can happen to anyone.
Pls share this post. You may help save a life.”
