Help me my fellow losers

[Cardinal Slin]

OK

Today I left work early and used the excuse of not feeling well - which was somehow true but I also wanted to hit up the gym...

I said I had a doc appointment so need to go back tomorrow and explain my bp is quite high.

So 2 questions, what is a fairly high BP for a 33yr old male and what would the doctor prescribe for it...

I am a very hard worker but just couldn't take it today... Too much politics going on and I was getting very upset so don't be mean!

 

[Cardinal Slin]

Come on, I know some of you have used this excuse before

 

[chris302001]

Really? you dont know what a high bp would be? Really? And you cant think of one bp med? Really? Well I'll give you a hint, first line bp tx should always be a gentle diuretic like HCTZ. Note: should be. And you only have 1 karma hint? How do you expect to pay me? I dont take medicaid son! Use google to get the rest of your info.

Note: when you read this, say "really" like Amy Poeler on SNL......kthanksbye

What is a high BP for a 33 year old male?

Ummmmm, say 145/109

But you realize it takes 4 separate trips to diagnose hypertension, right?

Oh, and HCTZ stands for Hydrochlorothiazide.

 

[Cardinal Slin]

You Kewl!

So I can go in to the office and say they feel I have hypertension and have prescribed me a diuretic and that I need to go back in 5 days for another check up?

 

[Cardinal Slin]

Sorry but you need to have at least 10 karma to donate karma to this member.

Chris, Can you give me 9 karma, then I can hit you back with 10?

But before you say yes I have to warn you that I am non plat so will get taxed and you will only end up getting 6or7 - net result = minus 2.

kewl?

 

[chris302001]

I doubt they'd give you the diuretic already....Tell them you have another appt. in 5 days to confirm and they will start you on it then.
