has started again!!
One thing I dont have is high blood pressure, thankfully. When I had my pre-LL check up all was fine. Today, I went to a local chemist to have my BP taken for wk 4, and rather embarrasingly they did not have a cuff for an "obese" person. (My arms are HUGE.) They were very kind to me, however, and after I explained that I would not return to the GP for just a BP test, (they will charge me.) the lady suggested if that was the case, it might be worth buying a wrist BP monitor for myself to use at home. I am happy to do this, as in Argos, they are only £15, but does anyone know if LL will accept self testing?
I realise that LL want to cover themselves against poss law suits, but if I accepted the responsibilty in writing prior to taking my own BP, would they "go for it"?
I hope so, because I just cannot afford £20 each time just for a BP check, when hopefully it will stay within the normal ranges. I am pretty healthy, apart from being so heavy, no other health issues at all. In fact, my GP commented when I had my LL check up, that he hadnt seen me for literally years!
Sorry this have been a long post, but I hope someone has the answer!!
