dont go to the dr's

[bourneman]

Went to see my local gp yesterday to see if i could get some stronger antacid tablets so while i was there he thought it would be a good idea to check my blood pressure what a kick in the thingys that turned out to be Dr Death only reckons that it was way to high. so i have taken a few days off work and i am tryingto relax chill i think the modern word is because there is no way i am telling my lot that we are not going on Holiday
Fingers and toes crossed it will level out for me.

Oh dear

At least you know about it now and can take some positive action

Enjoy your "chilling"

I hope it all sorts itself out quickly

Yes, just try and take it easy for the next few days. Lots of coming your way.

Some things you can do to try and reduce your blood pressure:-
If you smoke - STOP
Reduce your salt intake dramatically.
Take regular exercise.
Lose any excess weight, even dropping a few pounds can sometimes help.

If these simple things don't help and you do need treatment, better to take it as untreated hypertension can lead to other problems. Some people who have a family tendancy, have high blood pressure despite being the ideal weight, not smoking, eating healthily and taking regular exercise, if you're one of these then just go with the treatment...it really is for your own good.

Good luck...and DON'TWORRY!

I can't think of a better prescription than a trip to WDW - wish you could get that on the NHS!!! Have a great trip!
