🩺 FACT vs MYTH: “PASMA”

❌ MYTH:
“Kapag pinagpawisan ka tapos naligo ka agad, magkaka-pasma ka.”

âś… FACT:
Walang matibay na scientific evidence na ang pagligo pagkatapos pagpawisan ay nagdudulot ng “pasma.”

Ang “pasma” ay isang popular na Filipino health belief na karaniwang iniuugnay sa panginginig, pamamanhid, pananakit, o panghihina matapos ma-expose sa malamig na tubig o hangin habang pawis. Gayunpaman, hindi ito isang specific medical diagnosis na may malinaw na scientific basis.

đź’ˇ HEALTH TIP:
Hindi kailangang matakot maligo kapag pinagpawisan. Kung galing sa matinding physical activity, magpahinga at magpalamig muna nang kaunti, uminom ng sapat na tubig, at maligo kapag komportable na.

đź“Ś Remember: Hindi lahat ng nakasanayang health belief ay supported by science. Know the facts, protect your health!

đź©ş FACT vs MYTH: HERBAL PRODUCTS

❌ MYTH:
“Lahat ng herbal products ay safe dahil natural.”

âś… FACT:
Ang pagiging “natural” ay hindi automatic na ibig sabihin ay safe. Ang ilang herbal products ay maaaring magkaroon ng side effects, makipag-interact sa maintenance medicines, o makasama sa atay at bato kapag mali ang paggamit.

🌿 Natural does not always mean harmless.

đź’ˇ HEALTH TIP:
Bago uminom ng herbal supplement, sabihin muna sa iyong doktor o pharmacist—lalo na kung umiinom ka ng maintenance medicines, buntis, o may sakit sa atay o bato.

📌 Think before you drink. “Natural” ≠ “Always safe.”

For health education only. Consult your healthcare professional before starting herbal products or supplements.

đź©ş FACT vs MYTH: HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

❌ MYTH:
“Kapag normal ang BP ngayon, puwede nang itigil ang maintenance.”

âś… FACT:
Ang normal na BP habang umiinom ng maintenance medicine ay maaaring senyales na epektibo ang treatment. Hindi ibig sabihin na tuluyan nang nawala ang hypertension.

⚠️ Ang biglaang paghinto o pagbabago ng dose ng gamot nang walang payo ng doktor ay maaaring magdulot ng pagtaas muli ng BP at iba pang komplikasyon.

đź’ˇ HEALTH TIP:
Huwag basta itigil ang maintenance kahit normal ang BP. Kung palaging controlled ang iyong BP, magpakonsulta sa doktor para malaman kung kailangan bang ipagpatuloy, bawasan, o baguhin ang gamot.

❤️ Remember: Normal BP is the goal—not a reason to stop treatment on your own.

đź©ş FACT vs MYTH: Diabetes

❌ MYTH:
“Kapag diabetic, bawal na ang lahat ng matatamis.”

âś… FACT:
Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag may diabetes ay bawal na habambuhay ang lahat ng matatamis. Mas mahalaga ang kontrol sa kabuuang carbohydrate at calories, tamang portion, at regular na monitoring ng blood sugar.

🍰 Ang matatamis na pagkain ay maaaring kainin paminsan-minsan at sa tamang dami, depende sa iyong overall meal plan at blood sugar control.

đź’ˇ HEALTH TIP:
Hindi kailangang tanggalin lahat—matutong mag-control ng portion. Mas magandang piliin ang balanced meals, high-fiber foods, at limitahan ang sugary drinks at sobrang matatamis na pagkain.

đź“Ś Diabetes is about smart choices, not complete deprivation.

đź©ş Welcome to My Page!

Hello everyone! đź‘‹

First of all, I sincerely apologize to everyone who has sent messages and inquiries that I wasn't able to respond to. I know some of you have been waiting for a reply, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

I have been quite inactive on this page because of my busy work schedule. Being a doctor can sometimes mean long hours and very little time to manage social media. Unfortunately, that meant I wasn't able to give this page—and your messages—the attention they deserved.

But I'm happy to say that I'm slowly becoming active again! ❤️

From now on, whenever I have free time, I will do my best to check your messages and respond to health-related questions and concerns as much as I can.

I may not be able to answer immediately, and there may be questions that require an actual consultation or specialist evaluation, but I will do my best to provide reliable, practical, and evidence-based information whenever I can.

Thank you for continuing to follow this page despite my absence. 🙏

Welcome back—and welcome to everyone who is new here!

đź©ş Better Health. Better Life. Together.

Please remember: Online advice cannot replace an actual medical consultation, especially for urgent or serious symptoms.
