High BP medication ran out months ago, havnt had my 2021 yearly physical yet, seem to be doing better then ever. That's a healthy BP, especially if you've stopped taking meds. If it was 90/50 when on the meds, that's far too low so it looks like you don't need them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t know why they’d want you to have such low blood pressure. I can only think either you have a co-morbidity that benefits from having a low BP (I’m not aware of a single one, I’m fact too low BP is damaging to renal function) OR perhaps your BP like many peoples fluctuates over the course of a day and when it’s high it really is too high (taking a snapshot BP occasionally can give a create a very misleading picture) OR they’re just getting it wrong! To know for sure you’d need to take your blood pressure repeatedly over the course of the day making sure you encompass from when you wake to when you go to sleep and repeat this for several days. That’s too much work for most folk so unless someone’s in hospital these things are rarely known for sure. On the upside your mean pressure needs to be at 60 or above to maintain O2 tissue perfusion so it’s not been too bad. Glad you asked? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now, I know being on this forum leads you to believe my standards are low and I can’t argue with that and I will confess whilst looking at the male species Im happy to forgo the pleasures of discourse to spend a bit of time with a nice looking knuckle dragger who cant really string a coherent sentence together but I do draw the line at being able to wash and dress themselves so no I dunno a lot about knob cheese. There are some limits even for for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre only being checked up for BP and your BPs fine I could go along with that but if youre supposed to be having other things checked like for example bloods then thats no good Tymmy. You need to find the will to make them see you. Thats ‘forum nobody’ orders! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only humiliation thats possible is theirs for the crap care thats on offer. Ring them, make them do their job, like L’Oréal youre worth it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tym Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Without them i have good bp and the abs of Jesus Christ on the day of his death. Summers coming, get ready for nipple shots. Besides, lung cancer studies are so boring to be in, and you know how it ends already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire the resolve but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Keeping track of lung function and oxygen sats should mean you get offered the right booster stuff at the optimum times. Obviously I cant fly to Merica and twist your arm so have this gif instead Or this one, she’s cute you should do what she says, might get a date 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pharmacy lent me and bracelet thingy with a digital readout that was idiot proof... supposedly it was hardly a constraint to do it and cost nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
