It took a diabetes diagnosis \u2013 followed by a stroke which initially left him unable to speak \u2013 for famed local fashion designer Calvin Southwell to pay attention to his health.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Just over a year on from the devastating day when he collapsed and was rushed to hospital by ambulance, Southwell is urging others to stay alert to the dangers of heart disease and avoid falling victim to one of the country\u2019s biggest killers.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Today \u2013 February 3 \u2013 marks 12 months since the national Heart and Stroke Foundation launched under the tagline \u2018Mind Your Heart\u2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And as the coronavirus pandemic continues to pose an unprecedented risk to residents\u2019 health, Foundation members say that risk is being exacerbated by an upsurge in cases of hypertension, otherwise known as high blood pressure.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Hypertension, which Southwell has, is one of the prime causes of heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n

Southwell says he didn\u2019t even know he was diabetic until he began to feel unwell a few years ago and finally paid a visit to his physician. Even then, he admits he was lax with taking the medication he was prescribed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI only used to take my tablets when I felt sick. As guys we always think we\u2019ll be fine,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been working a lot last year and one day I just didn\u2019t feel right. I couldn\u2019t understand what was wrong with me.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

It was Southwell\u2019s wife Cassandra who noticed that his mouth was twisted and told him he was having a stroke.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cBut I kept saying I was just tired and needed to lie down. Eventually an ambulance was called and by the time I reached the hospital I couldn\u2019t speak,\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n

The earth-shattering diagnosis preceded months of learning to talk again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought something like that could happen to me,\u201d says Southwell, head designer with the Beautiful People Carnival troupe and national director for the Miss World franchise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs men, we avoid going to the doctor but getting regular blood pressure and other health checks can be the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember my doctor saying to me, do you want to have a young pretty wife and be dead? My speaking isn\u2019t what it used to be but I am just grateful to be alive,\u201d Southwell adds.<\/p>\n

For consultant cardiologist and Foundation president Dr Georgette Meade, it\u2019s an all too familiar story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have found an increase in patients being diagnosed with hypertension but they don\u2019t take it seriously. One reason for that is because it doesn\u2019t cause pain; that\u2019s why we call it the silent killer,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe only know our blood pressure when it\u2019s checked \u2013 so hypertension is going unrecognised, endangering the heart and damaging the kidneys too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nDr Georgette Meade, president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, says hypertension is a \u2018silent killer\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are currently more than 100 people in Antigua and Barbuda undergoing kidney dialysis \u2013 and more on a waiting list with some forced to travel overseas for it. Many of the cases are as a result of hypertension which could have been avoided.<\/p>\n

\u201cCulturally people look for a headache or pain in the neck, but by then the blood pressure has already been elevated for some time,\u201d Dr Meade warns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recommend annual routine check-ups, but once diagnosed with any medical illness, reviews should be done based on your physician\u2019s guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medication can help reduce hypertension.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to tell your doctor if you have any side effects as doses can be adjusted. Don\u2019t ever just stop taking the tablets,\u201d Dr Meade says.<\/p>\n

February is Heart Health Month \u2013 and this year\u2019s theme is \u2018self-care\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is appealing to residents to take action to protect their heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cReducing our salt intake is key; we tend to use a lot of it to season our meat in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

\u201cExercise is very important too; aim for moderate intensity exercise \u2013 swimming, cycling, or walking at a brisk pace for 150 minutes a week, or 30 minutes a day, five days a week,\u201d Dr Meade continues.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot smoking, watching our cholesterol, getting adequate rest, and ensuring diabetes control are crucial, while yoga and other relaxation techniques can also help with stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following a healthy diet means filling half the plate with fruit and veg, and swapping fried foods for wholegrains, along with fresh fish and lean meats, peas and beans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen taking care of yourself you must take care of your heart too,\u201d Dr Meade adds. \u201cJust like you check the engine on your vehicle, the heart is the engine of the body.\u201d<\/p>\n
