After a sleepless night having my arm throttled by that
bloody machine, I returned it to the surgery at 08.30
just received a phone call from the nurse that my BP
is now 180 over 104,,,,,,,can I see the Dr on friday morning ?
guess I will be on blood pressure tablets as well
as the thyroid pills from now on,,,,,,,hey ho, lol

Morning Ray

Poor you, was hoping you'd have a good night's sleep.

OH has high bp, his was 200 over something, now takes tablets and feels much better than he did, used to get such headaches and more.

Hoping you will too soon.

I know ...

I'm the same, norti about my thyroid blood tests, ooh, I am typing with my eyes closed, trying not to think about them. I have been told (ordered!) to go, still trying to pluck up the courage as I cannot bear injections and am flat veined and they hurt me and, and and ...

Think we need a party :))

Need cheering up

Morning Ray

Glad you have got through the night, and the machine is gone, now you must do what you are told and keep taking the tablets, and cut down on all fatty foods and try to get some exercise and do all the right things for a change and with the tablets you will start to feel better soon.

My hubby had a quadruple bypass last year Ray, only 53 and although he didn't have a heart attack, he was having pains when he overdid it, so it was a bit of a shock, he's fine now and well healed up and we are trying to have a better lifestyle but it's not easy changing habits and I'd like to say we are both 100% fit, but I'd be lying, but we are determined to try better now the weather is so much nicer.

I have made him cut out the floozies though...lol

Hi Barbara

My uncle who died aged 55,was waiting on the NHS list for a
triple bypass,he died a month before the operation,
he was not overweight never smoked and was apparently fit
(He played semi proffesional football in the 60s)
was on Arsenals books,,,,even though he supported Spurs lol
It was a shock when he died

Ray

My hubby has never been that sort of super fit ray but was in the RAF for twenty years and we were running a business which was quite energetic, some people are more prone to this than others.
I have a brother who has scared us for years with his 180/110 blood pressure but he refuses to change his lifestyle and is approaching 60 and has had the problem about 7 or 8 years so who's to say...my hubby found the tablets heped but had to give in to the op in the end and is glad he did now.

Barb xx

Glad to hear he is ok now Barb, must have frightened the hell out of him ?

Oh, and I must try to control my Road Rage lol

thats when I have a Victor Meldrew,,,,pmsl

Ray xx

Oh Ray, think my blood pressure was sky high yesterday, am taking car to garage this afternoon to see when they can fix it..

I have many Mrs Meldrew moments lately...lol
