Medicals - Blood Pressure

Hi guys

So on Friday I went to have my medical done with Doctors On Wheels.

I was in & out within 5 minutes, all sorted, form stamped & signed.

My problem came later on as I checked the form & my blood pressure read ‘198/76’

This is EXTREMELY high, so I immediately phoned the doctor as he didn’t even tell me anything about the BP when he took it. He confirmed it was 148/76 (just his handwriting) which is completely fine, he then sent an email confirming.

I now have two issues, one being that this form looks very much like it says 198/76, and I’m not sure the email he sent will be enough.

Second being I checked online & 148 is classed as high BP, the doc said its fine but it goes against anything I’ve read online so I have booked an appointment with my GP to check this out as the last thing I want is to send this form in and them decline me for it.

Anyone else had a BP of 148 and been successful?

Thanks!

Hi,

I recently had to wait three months as my BP came back as high, long story short I had to make a trip to two locations in ten minutes to get to my appointment… That and the doctor had medieval equipment!!

My BP is fine now, as pass is considered as 180/100 i beleive ,so yours would be well In if the systolic figure is 143
