The reason the answer surprised him is simple: High BP is a chronic threat, but Low BP is an immediate catastrophe.
In medicine, we triage by the clock.
• High BP (Hypertension): The "Silent Killer." It damages your vessels and organs over decades. It leads to strokes and heart failure, but your body can tolerate a high reading for days without immediate collapse.
• Low BP (Hypotension/Shock): The "Loud Killer." If your blood pressure drops too low, your Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) falls below the threshold required to push blood into your brain, heart, and kidneys.
Without that pressure, your organs don't just get sick..they start to die within minutes due to hypoperfusion.
In the ER, we can wait to treat a BP of 180/100, but a BP of 70/40 is a "Code Blue" level emergency.

Hadiza, I admire you deeply and won’t hide that my heart feels something special for you. I’m already married, and I respect my home, but if you would ever consider being part of my life as a second wife, I would cherish you. I believe in honesty, so I’ll also say that I’d need you to be willing to support and invest in what we build together. @AdizatouGabon
Each time an election comes closer,you will see an upsurge in daring terror attacks that were never experienced earlier in the North.That can’t be a coincidence.There’s no name attached to it,but by their statements after every attack,you can fish them out.Playing the terror Chess cards with the aim of politically benefiting from it is one of the most tragic and devilish political strategy by the enablers and perpetrators.They are burning the farm in order to own the land.
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Know that what has struck you could not have missed you, and what has missed you could not have struck you.' (Abu Dawud 4699). If that settled into your chest fully, it would remove half of your anxiety.
Ibn Taymiyyah said belief in qadar is not fatalism. It is the foundation of real courage. His fear is redirected to where it belongs: to Allah alone.
Accept the decree. Fight within it. That is the Sunnah."
Political analyst and professor John Mearsheimer: "From 1971 to 2021, the US killed 38 million people. The scale of the destruction we have caused in the Middle East is simply staggering."
Quick update: Our KYC process isn't fully available yet as we're still improving our network.
We understand everyone's eager to finish the KYC for P2P, but don't worry, it's not open to anyone yet.
We're on it and need a bit more time.
Thanks for your patience.
