Medical, Health @ Welfare......

[Big Ramy 1314]

Brand new thread.... Thought I would start a thread on medical, health and welfare..

So i retired last year, always been in relatively good health. For some reason now my blood pressure has gone high, and has been for a while now. The doctors have put me on blood pressure medication. I did not take the tablets as I though I knew everything. Now my blood pressure is even higher, so I am taking the tablets now. I have to change my diet and exercise daily... So it's not a joke, when your doctor tells you to listen, you listen...

Apparently eating porridge every day can help reduce cholestorol. 👍

Lower back pain now... FFS....😢

I am using Ramys thread to remind folk to give blood if they are able to. I haven’t given blood for 18 yrs partly due to being a lazy bassa and partly due to the fact it was pretty difficult the last time I went,  and they had to give up on me.

However I got a text the other day saying they were short of my blood type so I made an appointment and went today. Nae bother at all this time. 
So, if you have been like me in the past, give it another go. You get a free biscuit.

Seriously Ramy, your 50’s are a nightmare for health, everything starts to break down. The only positive is that as soon as another ailment comes along it takes the focus off the old one.

Went for a Colonoscopy today. The worst part was the liquid you have to drink to empty yourself. 4 litres, it's honking. Anyhoo, glad it's over with, luckily I was asleep with anesthetic, so thank fuck for that...😂

Just found out today you cant give blood for 4 months after having a colonoscopy. It was on the ‘ restrictions ‘ section of the form I was filling in for donating blood. Cant think why a colonoscopy would prevent you giving blood but there must be some reason.

It might be something to do with possible infections etc in the blood after a minor medical procedure.

I had a minor medical procedure earlier in the year and a few months later my dentist said they wouldn't do a certain bit of dental work until the hospital told me (and I then informed he dentist) it was ok to do so.

That's interesting mate. Before my Colonoscopy, the doctor asked me if I had been to a dentist recently, I thought that an odd question. I replied I had a cleaning 6 weeks prior....

I have sleep Apnea, so that's why I was asleep for the colonoscopy l, no idea why? No gonnae argue though, small submarine up my arse I'd rather be asleep !! Just saying like...😳

I hope they didn’t reuse the same endoscope to fit your new crown 😁

Looked it up on google and it's because the endoscope is reusable

Still makes no sense to me unless the sterilisation is not 100% accurate

Yeah, it’s a bit extreme but I suppose they cant take any chances with blood given what has happened in the past.

Apologies @Big Ramy 1314 I hadn't noticed this thread previously

Now that I have - I'm at a loss as to why such a mild mannered gent, one who regularly demonstrates being completely in control of his emotions, would suffer from high blood pressure 🙄
