Cheers, Nick. Hopefully it will be sorted this Friday and then I've got a week off to get better before being back in the fray...

I'm hoping so too - it's inconvenient, but treatable. I don't need to have it checked regularly (until now!) so I've no concept of what it has been and what it should be. MrsF gets hers checked every six weeks or so, so it's always monitored, whereas I have no idea about how long it's been going up for.

As long as something gets rid of the dizziness at the moment - I can't walk in a straight line at the moment, and if I stand up, I sway from side to side because my balance is off still. Just like being drunk, but cheaper, and a lot less fun.

As you say it's easily treatable once diagnosed. My parents have both been on medication for high blood pressure for as long I can remember. I've been trying (in vain) to lose weight and get fit for some time to bring my down, but the recent arrival of mini-VF No.4 has knackered my routine somewhat. I really need to get organised and start eating properly (not skipping breakfast then snacking during the day) and going to the gym again.

Good lord, four kids would do it for me!!

The ironic thing is how we've been joking about the team lead and his blood pressure, and how it must be rocketing every day. ha ha ha ha ha......

Reminds me of walls that say 'No vandalism please'. That's open invitation to every kid in a twenty mile radius.

I'd never be so childish myself, mind you.

BOUNCE

Evening all

Still ill. Not really getting much better. Went to the doctor yesterday for blood pressure checks, which were VERY bad. VERY VERY VERY bad.

But he doesn't want to treat the blood pressure until he knows what it's like - the hospital didn't record any of the readings they took when I was in last week (or didn't send them to him) so he only has yesterdays to go on.

Back to the nurse tomorrow morning, then back to the doctor again on Friday morning, and I think he's going to put me on betablockers to help the blood pressure, migraines and dizziness (there was an interesting article in the Grauniad last week about migraine induced dizziness) in one go. He just doesn't want to do it yet until he's got some more accurate BP readings before treatment to know how it's going.

Hey Faq, sorry to hear that, hope you get well soon.
