I haven't checked this thread for a couple days. I can't believe these guys are still giving you a bad time.

I think I take the same little pink pill that you do but I already have breasts so I hope it doesn't enhance them, just regulate blood pressure.

Rev Doc - I want to see the cartoon. I like what Garfield is saying. I've always thought he was one smart cat.

Just a little advise, take it or leave it.
Go somewhere that has a BP cuff, Take your BP, also take a aspirin, 1 regular strength Aspirin, One hour later take your BP again, If its lower the second take, Get a different DR.

I tried to help Rev but he never even answered my PM

Ron,

I was sent to a cardiologist for an artery scan.
I was sent to a urologist to check on my kidneys and he had an MRI done.
They have done an EKG. I've been getting multiple opinions. From a variety of Docs.
I take an aspirin every morning, have been doing that for years.

It's the sudden spike in BP that has them puzzled. The plan is to put me on a bata blocker for a couple of weeks and then take me off. They seem to think that during the Mt Adams climb my kidney's got stressed (not only by exercise but I also got a little dehydrated) and my computer got stuck on a higher Blood Pressure reading because I'm an older man. The blood pressure has dropped back to nearly normal.
I take my own blood pressure. My readings are almost identical to the nurses and docs, so I know there was a problem.

Doc said there are two more tests that could be taken. A CAT scan and a heart stress test. But, they don't think they would show anything at this time.

Computed Axial Tomography is a very good thing but its one step in finding the problem. Ask your Doc about EBT technology.
Im certainly not saying I know even 100th what the Doc knows, but a fast onset of High BP is most always caused by a block.
Some times a CT or a CAT scan don't show. The Aspirin thins the Blood, thats why I said that, You already are doing it so that also says Blockage.
A heart strees test? I guess you mean a thaliuim stress test, if not ask about this also.
I'll shut up and let the Doctor do his job.
