Raised BP and operations...........

[jackthehat]

I've been for my pre-op assessment and my BP results were high. Admittedly I haven't had it tested for 18 months, or so, but it's always been bang-on..........
I don't usually suffer with White-coat syndrome, but am willing to concede that it may have been a factor. I was also on day-5 of a course of anti-biotics for a UTI.
I now have to have have 3 separate tests at my GP surgery to see if my BP is high or if it was just a 'spike'.

As I'm due to have an operation within the next fortnight, if my BP persists in being on the 'high-side' will it have any impact on the surgeon's willingness to proceed with the op ?

Thank you for any insight.

did someone drop you on the head hatstumper? Go get help. That's the last reply you get from me. The Editor should report you to the Police.

[ummmm]

If that's how you imagine her....carry on.

<waits for the Rosie O'Donnell j.peg>

Is he still here ?

Bless ! He spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about me, doesn't he ? Whereas I never give him a second thought.

[ummmm]

He does appear to be a bit fixated by you Jack....

[jackthehat]

............as well as being suspended.

He doesn't bother me at all................I've been insulted by professionals !!

Strangely enough, I feel calmer now. I wonder if he'll pop back on before I go to the quacks on Wednesday ? :D

Cutetoni, what crime have i commited? None.
My ip software shows me coming from 10 places at once, i use the same software as the fbi, impossible to trace.

Jack - it still could be 'white coat syndrome' - I have had a few operations over the years and my pressure always goes up - if you have your own blood pressure monitor, take your BP at home , you will normally find it does come down.

Mine goes up even when I go to the dentist, but after I have paid the bill it goes back to normal (;0 (

Best of Luck with the Op. Den xx

[jackthehat]

Thanks, Den.
Ordinarily I wouldn't be bothered but because of the short time until the op I am anxious to make sure that it is not postponed because of what I hope is a temporary blip.

I don't usually suffer from White-coat syndrome.

Thankyou for your good wishes.

[CuteToni]

Yes, I hope everything goes well for you also jackthehat. I find that watching a good film relaxes me. How about a comedy with clowns where there's much laughter at their ineptness. ;n)

[jackthehat]

Excellent idea, Cute Toni...........:o)

Thank you.
