I argued with my Doc today

Stewie · 12-13-2006, 05:36 PM

I went in for a quick check of my blood pressure today and once again it was high (142/94) while I was there. Well, this time I took in my BP monitor that I use according to how blood pressure is supposed to be taken. I showed him the results I had taken for the last couple of weeks and he wasn't impressed. I told him, "How is it that BP is supposed to be taken in the morning and while relaxed for 30 minutes and I get normal readings, yet when I rush around to get here for a check it's always high?" I think there's something wrong here. How many people are taking BP medication because their Doc took a few readings that showed it was high without considering the conditions under which the reading was taken. Anyone else concerned about this sort of thing?

Just take the drugs so your doc can get his check.

Yeah, let's get with the program here, you taking drugs (which you may or may not actually need), pays your doc's mortgage on his $1,000,000 home, his vacation home, his med school loans, his kids' ivy league tuition, and his country club dues.

Run away and don't take any drugs. Get on a treadmill.

Screw these AMA idiots. They're all just pushers for their pimp drug companies.

Sounds like what just happened to me.

Mine was high at the doc's office for the first time ever, but they pointed out that probably was because I was there. I think they called it "white coat syndrome" or somwthing like that, basically its just from being nervous because you're at the doctor's office.

They said to take my BP during the week to assure that's the case.

Worst case you die of a heart attack! (jk) high blood pressure is nothing to fool with. The good news is if the team you root for stinks long enough you can watch them blow a game in the last seconds with no change to your blood pressure what so ever!

Can anyone else change their heart rate and BP by thinking about it? I tried for the first time in front of a doctor during my last physical, and it worked. The look on the doctor's face was amusing.

Yep, it's just basic biofeedback.

That's what it's called, eh? My Dad was/is a master at it. That freak can drop his heart rate down to about 20 if you get a few Scotches into him and ask him to perform. The DiLs get all freaked out and say that he's going to kill himself one day.

That's probably why he does it in the first place.

Your are employing a form of psychokinesis, Mr. Donger. A very dangerous capability.

It is used in the military for things like remote influencing, distant mental influence, and directed conscious intention. Used for good, it is a benefit to mankind. Used for evil (or what some people call bad), and it can do grave harm.

I can say no more.

I've done it with my sitting heart rate when I was all hooked up on an EKG monitor. They left me along for awhile before I took my stress test and I made my sitting, non-moving heart rate go up and down simply by relaxing my mind and breathing deeply. I would keep watching the EKG and the monitor and I'd go from 61 BPM to 49 in about 10 to 15 seconds and then back up into the high 50's and then back down. (once again without moving).
