Ah, just in to the office a bit late having stopped off at the quack's for the regular bimonthly tyre change and windscreen wash.

For the 12th week in a row the old Beep^* is operating within normal parameters, Captain. At 139/87 it is on the high side of normal, but still normal. And given that the weather outside is hotter than Kylie's bum, it is probably higher than it would otherwise be; apparently hot weather contributes to hypertension. Presumably it's all those little corpuscles trying to get to the surface to acquire a suntan.

Now that he's happy that we are making progress on that front, he has decided that we should tackle the smoking. Although at the moment that seems to consist of me going away to think about it for a month (presumably not over a cigarette or two), before seeing him again.

Of course, I have tried giving up smoking before. When I try that, I normally go into seclusion for a few days, and my evil twin brother covers my day-to-day routine.




^* Blood Pressure.

Congratulations! You are doing much better than me with the old beep :) WELL DONE! Do you take any thing for it? ( and don't say a fiver and it's yours)I'm asking because I was given Amplodomine last week but I have taken myself off it as it did not feel good in my chest not one bit and so I am sticking with my trusty Atenolol. 139/87 is fantastic; I wish I could get mine down. How are you doing it?


Sorry, if I'm being nosey just bleep me out!

Hoo boy. Now you're asking.

In the a.m. I have Adizem, a calcium antagonist (should be a punk band), aspirin (boring), bendrofluorozine water tablets (to make me pee like a cart horse, I thankyew), and Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor.

Who needs brekky?

In then evening, by way of supper, I take a single Stattin tablet to do things to cholestersol (which is low anyway, but that didn't stop him prescribing it).

This little chemical medley is what does the trick, it seems.

(Betcha wish you'd never asked! ;-) )

I AM glad I asked. I have been prescribed similar family and combination of tablets ( minus the ACE Inhibitor and water tablets) not the same names but that do the same thing. I need to talk to my doctor about them but it is useful to know that someone else I know takes them and they work! Thank you and the punk band name really made me smile and put my worries regarding these things and what they are for into a more relaxed perspective.
