Not antibiotics but more likely something you are taking for the cold I will ask Prof Beeves who he recommends. Maybe he still sees a few.

Currently I have a chest infection and having had my BP taken at the local surgery and now at home, out of three recordings, its averaged at 150 / 94 (last year ave. 124 / 80). Whilst on antibiotics etc, would you expect a rise in blood pressure?Also, some time ago you recommended Prof. Beevers who as far as can see is now retired. You also mentioned Padfield in Edinburgh whom I have written to and await a reply. I hope he becomes interested in my Conn's story.Than you.
