I tell you, that the more doctors you go to, the more things are wrong with you! I'm swearing off the quacks, as my friend Sally would say! It seems my stress test went fine (I think), but apparently now I got high blood pressure! WTF?? When the technician initially hooked me up I asked her what the number on the screen meant. She told me it was my blood pressure. Take off!! No way!! I won't tell you what it was, but I called bullshit. When the doctor came in I told him his machine was screwed, so he tried a different one, and then eventually even checked manually. All of them seemed to confirm the original stupid number. Way, way higher than my blood pressure has ever been. Ever!! My family doctor checked it just last week, and it was normal
I'm telling you it's all bullshit! I don't know what short term stuff is going on, but whatever it is, it's going away. I got no time for crap like this, and I ain't gonna accept it. I would have just totally ignored it, but my wife made me call the family doctor, so I'll go see him again tomorrow---- just to tell him as well that it's bullshit, so that he don't have to worry about me when the report comes back!
And I know nothing's wrong there because I take good care of my cardiovascular system and my general health. The one weakness I admit to is in my musculoskeletal system, since I seem to be a bit genetically weak in that area, and I don't stretch the way I should. That's why I made an appointment at the sports clinic to see a doctor about my bum shoulder. I go there next monday, and I'm pretty sue he ain't even gonna check my blood pressure. I'm probably gonna
And okay then! Since some people are gonna want to know, my pressure was 180/90 which is just bullshit. My typical numbers are about 130/75. It came down quite a bit once I got on the treadmill, but then afterwards it was up again, even higher. I borrowed Sally's machine (she don't use it any more) and checked it several times later in the day. While it seems to come down at times, it generally remains high.
And that's all I got. Frustrated like mad! It's all bullshit.
But wait!
I just got off the phone with the worlds greatest nurse, my bis sister Cory, and I feel better. No bullshit from her. Thanks Cory!

It's probably a side effect from the thyroid medication?
ReplyDeleteLove hoj
It's likely an effect of being in the cardiologist's office too, and it's a very real phenomenon. Worry not. It's a very normal reaction.

I'd add something, but I think that the words of Uncle John and Gail sound wise.
ReplyDeleteAlso, now I want to know what Aunt Cory said! So many cliffhangers in this post... At least you gave us the blood pressure number.
Love,
