    Thread: High blood pressure. Any advice?
    nobody cares. really, not a single person. it's equal parts amusing and pathetic that you think they do.

    Given the number of replies, it seems people here do care..

    Who is "Raymond", anyway ? Some TV character ? Or Cujo's real name ?

    as above says,sometimes wrong,farang are never right,so who is wrong.after the past 5months not too concerned about what was happening to me,i was worried about what was happening to my beloved dog,the 2legged parasites had been useing him as a ATM and they didnt care one iota about his health,the wife took him to the best university's vetinary hospitals in thailand who didnt know their arse from their elbow.the last one after 11hrs.of test after test told the wife take hime home and come back in 14days.after 8days my life was in hell,and my only comfort i hoped to meet the doctors there toooooo,who treated me and my beloved.after a couple of days i decided it was time to confront my doctor,because she turned up a hour late and her staff had warned her i was ready to do to her as what she had done to me,i was about to end it all,but my wife begged me to carry on for the sake of my beloved dog.i never got to see her[doctor] but she got the message[DONT FUCK WITH THE FARANG] that was the end of march this yr.2 different hopitals and 2 different doctors i have since realized how ill i was,i have made a full recovery health wise,but i DONT TRUST NOBODY.
    one thing for certain these pricks or so called doctors DO NOT LIKE you buying your own meds.trust me when i say check all your medication that they give you.
    as for the other so called animal doctors[sorry if its in the wrong place] go and FUCK YOURSELVES.
    i must APOLOGIZE for my language.as I am so bitter.please except my apology.
    headhunter.

    My wife has been to the hospital 2 or 3 times since we have been together. Everytime we leave she heads downstairs to the pharmacy area to pick up her prescription. They hand out a plethora of meds to her. So I have taken them home, sat with her and showed her what each does. She has thrown out most and is better for it.

    When I cut myself pretty good with an old yard tree cutting knife that fell from a ladder (Long story on that deal) I told my wife it probably needs stitches but to clean it good and bandage me up. I then said lets go to the hospital for a shot. She asked "How do you know you need a shot?" I said "I do not know specifically but I have not had a tetanus shot in 15 years or so". She had no idea what a tetanus shot was for. When we got to the hospital the nurse asked what is the problem. My wife politely told the nurse my husband wants a Tetanus shot and that's it. I sat for about 10 minutes, I went in to the doc and told him what I wanted and he said OK and done. The cut healed perfectly and all is good.

    I would like to add that I think specialty doctors and surgeons are outstanding and should be applauded in most cases. What they do is really important to saving lives etc. Trauma rooms are insane.

    ^ I have done the same with my wife & when i used to let them prescribe for me, also for myself - all you can say is about 80% of the time they are merely peddling drugs!
    Most folks are extremely ignorant about how their bodies work and the basics of good health, most are more than willing & happy to learn! obviously this is done on purpose, all part of the "Big Pharma" PR program!
    A real basic is "alcohol causces hypertension" rarely do you read that, much better for them to treat the symptoms rather than address the causce & get people to drink within their personal limits, we are no longer supposed to think for ourselves, the "Nanny state" will do that for us!

    Agree 100%, some branches of the medical profession are outstanding, there are good Doctors out there, though they are hard to find.

    Its crazy what they prescribe here for a simple cold or infection. I mean its not all that much better in the states though. One goes in for the flu or a simple cold and doc writes up a prescription listed with Antibiotics, Antihistamines, Congestion and Pain meds and you know 99% of the folks will take them unconditionally even if they really do not need them at all. Ask them why and they say "The doc said too and its on the bottle"

    I agree Airport2 on alcohol, It does cause hypertension even though it falls into the depressant category. A lot of the adverse affects clearly will depend on the person, current health along with other things like smoking cigs etc. I drink 2 or 3 times a week but never to get completely inebriated. As I have gotten older I far prefer being pleasantly anesthetized. I also truly enjoy sipping a good Scotch, Bourbon or Anejo Tequila. Much prefer it over drinking any sugar beverage like Coke, Pepsi etc etc.

    I enjoy all of the above beverages plus a few more As I have "matured gracefully" I simply can't drink what I would like to at times, my body says no, BP rises, each day without a break my BP will continue to rise until I stop, then it will slowly return to normal (normal for me is around 70 resting, I'm 63 & 84kg.) nothing you can do about it apart from listen to your body and treat it accordingly.
    "Some" of the desire for alcohol is the body crying out for sugar, you have to recognise this & just drink what your body can process. I do still drink too much at times, but those times become fewer, just not worth it

    I think he probably has that machine strapped to his back gathering data. That'll teach him to check his BP....

    Hey Cujo, You alright man? Take a big deep breath. You're gonna be alright. You are not going to have to take up Yoga or anything like that.

    You know as I have "Matured Gracefully" as you would say I am just more cognizant and picky when I drink. I still play really hard and do shit most do not which has my wife scratching her head. My wife while we were living and working in the states asked my Mom "Has he always been this busy and active? My Mom said "I am glad he is yours now on the other side of the planet".... I look at life this way, manage it, but live it.

    Hey Cujo....Wanna do some skydiving then have a drink after? . That should cure your high BP......
