Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Tonight is a research night, like last night. I get 3 hours off while I take a break when the new bp med takes full effect 2 1/2 hours after I take it. I started it right last night according to Dr. Stowasser etal. and it appears to have had little effect. (He recommended starting at 1-2mg and she started me at 5mg, This is the Endo that knows all about HTN and refused my request to see a Card. She is supposed to come by tomorrow and we will talk about it. She will probably learn the proper way to take a BP reading since nobody has done it correctly yet. If we are going to be following the rules we are going to follow ALL the rules! (I accused them of not following the accepted protocol today and didn't that cause a meeting. Head researcher (who I like a lot and have a lot of respect for) and fellow who is responsibile for my medical care (she is a very nice lady but I have less respect for because she does not think she needs to work on low oxygen, low T and LVH " because it is not part of the protocol " !) I Suspect she will know the correct way that the AHA, DOD/VA and Hypertension Primer (fourth edition)recommend to take a BP after our meeting! I'll bet she will understand there is a difference between the correct way and the quick way, if you can't take a correct BP reading, how can you decide how many adrenals to remove (hint, we have canceled the AVS!) I may have even asked them if they were " adrenal farming " ! Stay tuned! (, you might want to procced with descrition!) ..... SNIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I would recommend that the director call Shared Care Research and Education Inc. (my wife's company) will come to train and standardize them and will do a train the trainer. AHA recommends this every 6 months BTW. They can contact her at sharedcareresearch@.... She has trained more people in BP measurement than anyone else in the world and was on the AHA committee that wrote the guidelines the time before this. She does the quality control for BP measurement for the NHANES exam sites and has trained for many NIH studies.CE Grim MD On Apr 7, 2012, at 5:48 AM, wrote: Tonight is a research night, like last night.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Dr Stowasser was right. The problem was with the improper titration of hydralizine. The increase ended up from 10mg bid to 25 mg 4 times a day and my BP went to 110/61. She will understand that is not a " good blood preasure " (Must be my body didn't approve and she knows now I didn't. We will probably discuss Accord and J-Curve. She now needs approval from " the rat " of any changes! (better not kill the rat until you get what you want! > > > Tonight is a research night, like last night.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Francis, No, I have made no decision! Maggie, will discuss after meeting tomorrow that will include NO DAMN CELL PHONES in the meeting or I will walk out and me and my puppy will be headed north (but he caught the easter bunny I talked about earlier. > > > > > > Tonight is a research night, like last night.
