Orthodox Parish of St. Ephraim the Syrian

Saint Ephraim was born into the fourth century in the city of Nisbis which was located in Mesopotamia. This was where the Roman Empire bordered the Persian Kingdom. Saint Ephraim was known as Syrian. Looking back into the century of Saint Ephraim it is hard to determine if they understood High BloodPressure symptoms. The medical care in this era was very low quality. At this time they did not understand the different types of medical issues that people suffer from today.When Saint Ephraim was a baby his parents dreamed that he would be a great prophet and speak great sermons and hymns. In Ephraim’s early years as a teenager he didn’t follow the rules laid in front of him, he actually got into trouble and was arrested. It was at this time he understood he did not want to end up like a criminal and turned to the Lord. It is not certain if Ephraim had asked the Lord about High BloodPressure symptoms. There is no documentation to prove such a happening.  Many tend to wonder exactly what Ephraim said when he turned to the Lord to help him.

Whatever it was that was the time he spoke with the Lord was when his future was laid out for him. Since that time Ephraim wrote many good sermons, hymns and poems. Many of which are still around today. Ephraim is a good example for many kids and teenagers today that think they are on the wrong path and cannot turn their lives around. Ephraim may have asked the Lord High BloodPressure symptoms and more importantly what he was meant to do in the future.
