Nigerian medical doctor Egemba Chinonso Fidelis, popularly known as Aproko Doctor, has warned Nigerians about their health and a possibility of a ‘stroke pandemic’.
While speaking about blood pressure and hypertension on his X page, Aproko Doctor urged Nigerians to take their health seriously. He also advised that young people go for checkups regularly.
‘There’s a silent pandemic of high blood pressure among young Nigerians. We think we’re too young for a stroke, but it’s happening,’ he wrote.
He also opened up on the possible signs of the medical emergency, urging Nigerians not to play with their health.
‘One sign people miss: Aphasia. Suddenly being unable to form words, even when your thoughts are clear. Please it is not something to joke with; it’s a medical emergency. Know your numbers. Abeg,’ he added.
