In this powerful episode, we sit down with Twana Patrick as she bravely shares her personal journey with high blood pressure (hypertension)—a condition that nearly took her life. From bloodshot eyes and daily headaches to the dangers of untreated hypertension and self-diagnosing with home remedies, this conversation is a wake-up call for anyone ignoring the warning signs.
Twana opens up about her everyday symptoms that she brushed off for years, mistaking them as part of life or fatigue. She also shares her hope of one day being healthy enough to walk into a doctor’s office and hear that she no longer needs medication.
Her story highlights the importance of staying consistent with treatment, knowing your body, and advocating for your health—especially within the Black community where hypertension is a leading cause of death.
