Well here you go!
Having exceptionally high blood pressure > 100 they decided I needed a treadmill test. So along I trot to the hospital on my bicycle (no parking at our local).
I turn up to find the Doctor allocated to run the test was a ~35 year old aspiring supermodel (so just at the bottom of my 'I would' age range) with a plunging neckline.
So she put the cuff on me and leant over to take my blood pressure, she couldn't work out why my BP was even higher despite placing her cleavage in my face. I never took the treadmill test.
Statins have finally tamed my BP it just took a while to get the combination right.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I've had 140/90 for about the past 20 years. Doctors always tsk tsk, but it never seems to change. Even when I was on statins. (Which I had to stop taking as they started attacking my muscle tissue).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Thats at the top of the healthy range anyway, unless you have other issues like an elevated heart rate it's probably not worth worrying about.Originally posted by NotAllThere View Post"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Similar to the Frank Worthington story where he almost signs for Liverpool but having failed initial medical with high BP, he went on holiday spent it knobbing a Miss Great Britain (amongst others!) and on the retest was higher!Originally posted by vetran View Post

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I'm not sure why my system decided I was in need of twelve hours sleep, but I feel better for it
Quite sunny out there, though rather chilly
