Health condition of my father, Hypertension stage 2. Tuberculosis too?

Gusto ko lang pong humingi ng tulong tungkol sa totoong sakit ng father ko. We're confused po kasi about his medical laboratories.

First. Una po kasi dumugo po ang kanyang ilong then after 8 hours yung dugo sa bibig naman lumabas. When we rushed him to the nearest hospital, the findings was Hypertension stage 2.

Second. Niresetahan po yung father ko ng mga gamot. Pinabalik po kami ng doctor after a week. Nag undergo po yung father ko ng mga labaratories. ECG, Xray, chineck din po and ihi hya, sugar, laway. At yung result po sa sugar is 6.63. according to the doctor above normal daw po yung sugar pero hindi pa naman po consider na Diabetes yun kasi base sa laboratory, wala pa naman pong sugar sa ihi ng father ko. But I noticed there are dark spots sa bandang paa ni papa. Niresetahan din po yung father ko ng gamot dahil may infection daw po sya sa ihi.

Third. Base sa observation namin sa father ko, pumayat sya. May mga oras din pong nang hihina sya. Base sa x-ray Positive daw po sya sa TB, pero nung tinest po yung laway nya (dura). Negative naman po yung result.

My father is working as a money collector in the market (public market) for almost 20 years. He is 57 yrs old. Ok naman po ang pangangatawan nya. All these years wala pa naman po syang naging sakit. Nag woworry po kami ngayon dahil sa pabago-bago ng kanyang pakiramdam.

I will wait your response. Please take time to read. I am very worried about the health condition of my father. Ano po kayang sakit nya. Is it possible po ba na my TB sya o iba pang sakit? Pls help us po. Thank you very much for the help. Godbless!

It is possibel to have both hypertension and TB at the same time. Positive x-ray results should undergo TB treatment. Ang panghihina at pagpayat ay marahil sa TB niya. Mahina po ang kanyang resistensya kaya madali siyang magdapuan ng iba't-ibang sakit. Kailangan din pong mamonitor ng maigi ang kanyang high blood pressure kasi ito ang common na dahilan ng stroke. Kung maari, bawal na sa kanya ang mabibigat na trabaho, maiinit at masisikip na lugar. Iwasan na rin po ang crowded places.

Thank you for the advice Ms. Stephanie.
Now My father is taking 7 medicines for his medications. 5 capsules for his TB almost 6 months & another 2 for BP maintenance and sometimes He takes maintenance for his Diabetes. He's fine now. But we still worried sometime dahil sa nararamdaman nyang biglang panghihina. Hope gumaling na sya. Again, thank you so much.
