Tina Turner: I put my life in danger by neglecting kidney disease, hypertension
“For far too long I believed that my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion.”
The “Proud Mary” singer said she was given a prescription for medication to treat her hypertension in 1985, and it sounds like she took the pills but she also said she didn’t give her condition “any more thought.” Another blow came in 2016 when she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and she had to deal with the unpleasant side effects of the treatment,Even after suffering a stroke, Turner said she stopped taking her prescription medication for hypertension, convincing herself that the pills made her feel worse. “I remembered relishing life before I started taking them and wished I could be as clear headed and energetic as I used to be,” Turner wrote.
“Rarely in my life had I been so wrong,” Turner wrote. “I had not known that uncontrolled hypertension would worsen my renal disease and that I would kill my kidneys by giving up on controlling my blood pressure. …Thanks to my naivety I had ended up at the point where it was about life or death.”
