This morning, my husband visited our farm to see if the coconut trees are already matured and ready for harvest. He roams around the farm to see other fruit trees because he doubt if there are fruit trees are dying due to long drought. He sees 5 mango trees are dying and he called me through his cellphone about the matter. I replied, it's alright and natural because of long heat and I told him to come home if he's finish inspecting the area.
After that conversation, I heard nothing from him, I thought he comes home already but he didn't come. Until 3:30 p.m., a jeep park outside my house and I see my husband accompanied by another 2 persons and they told me that they saw my husband in our nipa hut calling for help. They brought him to the hospital for check up, his bp shoot up to 180/110 and the doctor put some medicines under his tongue and after an hour his bp subsides and he was advised by the doctor not to expose under the heat of the sun because he is hypertensive and was told to be careful with his heart and blood pressure during hot season.
When the 2 persons bid goodbye, I thanked them for there help and bringing my husband to the hospital and they replied, it's our pleasure to help others.
I told my husband, if no one is around, what happens to you? We're so thankful to Our Heavenly Father that He gives an instrument that can help you and he said, I'm so thankful to Him.
It is advisable that we're not going outside and exposed under the sun for long hours.
Have you experience that one of the members of the family went out and he got ill without any companion?

The two men were the angels God sent to your husband . Good thing , he was brought to the hospital .
Indeed , if you are hypertensive or with heart ailment , you shouldn't be going out long under the sun . You can have your attack .
Maybe from now on , your hubby should visit your farm , in the afternoon when it's not hot anymore . And he should have a companion .

They might be angels send by God, maybe in the absence of that 2 men, I don't know if what had happened to my husband. I told him yesterday before he left to the farm, you better go there this late afternoon but he's insisting that he'll go so that he can come home early. Yes, I won't let him go without a companion.

Heat does a lot of harm to our health specially we get dehydrated. Happy that your husband got help at the right time.

My Grandma would immediately stay in the room and opened up the airconditioned because she just can't take the heat. Not sure what my mom does, maybe I better let her know that's dangerous to go out side at noon. As crazy as it sounds I use to walk before during noon hours, mom warned me of cancer if i keep walking around that time.

I am glad my sister went out to the comfort room and heard me call her. I hope your husband rests especially summer here now means more heat and less cool air. there are dangers of heat stroke.

@ida123 that is why it is best to stay indoors during the hottest time of the day; aside from that let us keep ourselves hydrated as well.

Really thanking God for sending angels to help him at the right time. I have experienced it 10 years ago. My dad's heart attack. While he had the symptoms of heart attack like sweating,diarhea, Fortunatley my brother was with him. He immediately took him to the hospital. He had a mild heart attack while he reached hospital. Immediately they helped my dad. now he is under medication. I am happy that he is alive.
