been for a blood pressure test today, its 178 over 95, the doc's not impressed and says i gotta stop doing all the things a northener likes to do, suppin', pies n' chips and lazing in bed, the stress of work was overlooked in the doctors list of things to avoid, why is that
Surprised he didn't get you straight into hospital, with that result! (Don't wanna worry you like) Mr. HandyAndy - Really
Phew. I thought Mr Plum was being serious there for a minute . But then I read the bit about his 'stress of work' and pi***d myself laughing...
So it's a bad reading then, GULP, I'm in 't shat then cos I don't like salt, i don't sup all that much really ( for a northeren) and if arnie swartinigger had to carry my tools around he'd loose a stone in a week, I need a new a new doctor,
They say 120/80 is normal and 140/90 is high so yes. Don't worry, it's treatable, they will probably also check for diabetes and if you have got that you can't get life insurance so sort that out first.
140/90 isn't excessively high. Tomp's is getting to be a bit on the high side though. Last time I was at the doc's he admonished me for not taking the blood thinners they'd prescribed a year last Christmas following my very slight stroke. I told him, when I'm off out up't club or, pub, and have a shave before I go, I'm bleeding like a stab victim for hours. It's no fun trying to play bingo, when yer chin drips all over the ticket (specially if your using a red coloured dobber n'all) (anyway, I now take 75mg of aspirin every day,,,, well,, when I remember)
Tom.p, nowt to worry about really. http://www.bloodpressureuk.org/BloodPressureandyou/Thebasics/Bloodpressurechart
That's a bugger,,, Tomp's local is only 1/3rd of a mile away.... Mind you, it's an excuse to go there 3 times a day.
1/3rd of a mile? is it buggery its about 3 miles and i often miss the bus so its a good walk home when you reckon the one pace forward and two paces back, then put into the equation that i'm passing 2 curry houses,two pizza paulars an inglish chippy a chinese chippy and a macdonalds to a week willed drunk its like asking a rat to walk past a cheese factory and smell but don't touch, Is it any wonder I'm ready for the knackers yard
I went to see my surgeon on Tuesday for a check up after my back surgery, he said are you exercising, I said yes I walk to the shops(about half miles eachway), he laughed recond I should be walking 10 miles a day, like **** I thought to myself.
