Diagnosed with HBP, and clinically blind

Wheels of Happiness

This post was sad because the DX of the optha last Saturday was that HBP caused my bloodshot eyes and which I said was not plausible since my bp when I see my family doctor was in the range 110 to 120/60 -80.  She took my bp and it was 140/90.  It was high (maybe for waiting for 2 1/2 hours before she arrived. and 1 hour waiting for my turn .  I was 9th of the 11 patients.  And having not read the rest of the chart, that I was clinically blind and should be careful with my biking

This post hypothesized with the doctor that maybe this post feasted too much during the birthday bash:  2 pcs of crispy pata and two cups of bulalo and 2 pcs of beef.

She referred me to my family doctor, her colleague in the business, for check up and monitoring, preparatory for eye operation for lens installation etc.


And so I had to borrow a digital sphygmo from my daughter to check:

      Last night:    134/80
      Today            117/71

Is it hbp.?

Because of her dx, I refrained from biking until I was sure that I did not have hbp, and that my vision would not put me at risk
