Living a healthy life by not smoking, not drinking alcohol, and also regularly in exercise is a healthy lifestyle by 60-year-old man Anthony Quek.
Industrial engineering entrepreneurs in Singapore is almost perfect life before stroke damage. In December 2014, Anthony claimed to have a stroke for the first time.
How can someone who adopts a healthy lifestyle affected by a stroke? In Spotlight on Stroke at the Carlton Hotel Singapore, he told me that he was shackled in stress because of his job.
"I work too much, too much pressure and stress, unfortunately diabetes is high but never checked, it is not regularly taking medication," he said on Tuesday (13/3/2018).
It turns out doctors mendiganosisnya with atrial fibration (FA), which is an abnormal heart rhythm makes a blood clot in the heart.
Apparently this is confirmed by a senior consultant from the National Heart Center, Prof Tan Ru San Singapore that the risk factors for FA are high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, and stress.
Anthony now in the healing stage by taking anticoagulant drugs, Rivaroxaban that serves to prevent recurrent stroke. He also entered into a community of fellow strokes to gain more knowledge and passion.
"I think a stroke is something I can not feel, but I think how to survive a stroke, how not to get depressed, I have to commit to recover," Anthony said.
His determination to recover that made him now undergo quite significant changes. Coupled with a wife who is paying more attention to her. He did not want any family members who experienced the same thing.
