Re: Hospital visit
Just take it easy and follow the docs instructions and you should be fine.
To catch something in the early stage sis the best way to dela with it, very often nothing done in time.
I am one of the very lucky ones, no medical issues at all, no regular medication..
John if you take that many pills each day you could get into a band as a musical instrument that keeps the rattle going strong.

Re: Hospital visit
Tony
My wife HAD malignant Hypertension, her blood pressure was up over the 200 mark, The Dr;s in Sydney didn't seem to know what to do, then when we came to live in Cooma she went into the hospital and a DR there gave her Calcium Channel blockers, ever since then it is fairly steady on145 over 75, which is not bad considering her Kidneys are now working at to 8%, and she is liveing a normal life.
Hope this may help in some way.
Take care, Des

Re: Hospital visit
Des, from experience hospitals are not good places, tend to be full of sick people.
But I know you can get different opinions from two docs on the same problem.
But it looks as if your good wife is doing well with the current situation, good on her mate.
