Hi Friends, just a short post, I had to go for usual checkup with Dr. yesterday, panic stations were the order of the day, my blood pressure had shot up so high that she was very worried if I had had a small stroke, so had to have a head Cat Scan this morning & go back to her Monday for results, have to keep calm & go very slowly, I ask you if I go any slower I will come to a full stop, I felt reasonably well when I went to the Dr, certainly didn't when I came out. I have tried so hard, feel a little disappointed.

Please take care everyone, Bye for now Doreen.

Oh my,not a good visit--or was it?Without the visit the pressure would have gone unnoticed and you could have had real problems as a result.This way, should something be amiss they can work on it.I'll be waiting to see the results you get and you are in my prayers.Get yourself a good book or a good movie and veg out.martha

Hope you have good results, Doreen. Now stay CALM. Relax and don't worry about the tests or that will make your BP go up further.

Hugs and prayers, Darby

What a disappointing report, but thank goodness you had a visit and know what is going on. None of us like to hear this, but preventative medicine is what they keep preaching. My prayers are with you, and now it's time for you to try to relax and if you can put your feet up and listen to some nice music or catch up on your reading it would be a good way to relax. Let us know what is happening; we're all waiting to hear some good news~! Love and hugs. Bea

Doreen - sorry about the bad report. But - even in the face of problems, you have such a great sense of humor. Hopefully you will be able to overcome this new setback, but do take care and relax. Thanks for letting us know - we do wonder when you're away. Rosemary

I have a problem with 'white coat' high blood pressure. I kept telling my Dr. that even though I consider him a friend, when he's in his office, I can't help the fact that my BP goes up. I've one of those BP cuffs that one uses at home, and after recording the lower readings, he's cut down on the number of visits I have to make. I hope this is a part of your problem. Take care...we're thinking of you. lottie77
