Got diagnosed with hypertension back end of last year. Got prescribed some meds, they made me really ill, then moved to Amlodipine, but it didn't made a dent in the BP, if anything it went up slightly with the meds.
Been waiting for a 24 HR BP monitor check. First appointment they sent me was the day of a funeral so moved it. Next appointment was for when I was away on holiday so asked for it to be moved. They said fine, but if you can't make that one they would cancel the referral. Anyway, been waiting and waiting so ring up to be told it has been cancelled and I need to be re-referred.
Anyways, whilst on holiday, I forgot to take my pills. Came home, still not taking my meds and have been testing my BP multiple times a day. My BP is now normal? Don't know what the feck is happening.
