Asharfi has been suffering with persistent hypertension for a long time.  She was unaware of several mild strokes she suffered in the past.  She has been under treatment at JSM Medical Clinic since July 2010.  When she first walked in the Clinic, her blood pressure was so high that she was too incoherent to even describe her ailment. Under an expert physician care and proper medications her blood pressure has been largely brought under control.
