But i am going to asda to have a coffee with a friend.....

[WibbleWobble]

said me to the GP as he was organising my admission to hospital last friday morning.....

I went to the practice nurse for a smear and she did my blood pressure, just a quick check...

210/130.....

oh dear me.

so i am now out of hospital after spending three nights on a ward, heart monitor for the first 36 hours.

Now am on bp tablets and statins (7.9 is my cholesterol). I am not very overweight, i dont smoke, i dont drink, i eat healthily. But i do have a strong family history of heart disease. I am 42.



did any one miss me?

bet you didnt!

i am not working for the rest of the week....do you think i am being reasonable?

[mamasheshe]

yes i missed you thought i hadn't "seen" you about

no your being very reasonable if there's one thing kids do well is raise your blood pressure xxx

[Playmate]

O Mandy you poor thing :( were you the worst patient on the ward? you know what they say about us ex nurses :blush: :laughing: Hope now you have some medication you will start to feel better and your levels go down. Keep those feet up and allow yourself to be spoilt :D

[sarah707]

I wondered where you had got to!!

Look after yourself and take it easy xx

[miffy]

Lucky you went for that smear test!

Glad you're OK. Take it easy now!

Miffy xx

[babs]

aww hun take it easy... when i 1st read going for a coffee at asda i thought you was going to the peter andre signing...... get well soon hun.x

[nannymcflea]

That must have been a scary time. Hope you get that colesterol sorted , I'm afraid it's genetic, hubbys dad is the same, he's healthy but his is high too.

[Carol M]

O Mandy, how scary. Is it worse cos you were a nurse and know exactly how serious it is? You know you must rest untill your bp is down so do as you are told!
Thank heavens you went to GP even tho it was for something else. BP and cholesterol are definitely the silent ones, so glad you will be monitored now. I think at least a week off is deserved
Hugs

:eek: Holy cow! I hope it was just a glitch and gets under control very quickly! Thinking maybe coffee/caffeine probably not the best move lol.

What follow up, other than the meds, are you getting? Feet up, deep breathing and meditation time me thinks!

[jelly15]

I was away on a city break from Friday until yesterday or I am sure I would have missed you ;) . Seriously though what a scary thing to happen, hope the medication helps.

[loocyloo]

hope you rest lots.

i noticed you weren't around but thought you were just enjoying your hubby over the weekend.
sorry to hear you've been in hospital, thank goodness you went for your smear ( gold star for you) and they picked up your bp.

i don't blame you for taking the week off, enjoy it and get plenty of rest
big hugs

[Roseolivia]

Take it easy, hope you feel better soon.

[ORKSIE]

Take it easy, and No your not being unreasonable at all.

Get well soon. :)

[mama2three]

Stay in bed and be waited on hand and foot! And avoid those other things which make your blood pressure go up :blush: :laughing:
Good job you went in for your smear though , ashamed to say mine is very overdue.

[angeldelight]

Hope you are ok Mandy

I had the same problem a few years ago and was shocked because I had always suffered with low blood pressure

Hope you manage to rest this week and you are so right to have the week off

Take care

Hugs
