One simple medication that is started to counteract another medication which was poorly managed. Then that drug causes a scary side effect of really high hypertension. No-one will change the medication causing the hypertension and other hideous symptoms without the approval of the original prescribing genius who is on aholiday and not contactable. So they just cover it up with a blood pressure medicine. OK, no worries I will figure it out in a few weeks.
Only I had an allergic reaction to the blood pressure medication and ended up back at the hospital.
They took me off the blood pressure medication and sent me home....
Still on the drug that had my bp 220/120 with no replacement.
The doctor said, I'm not worried about that, plenty of people are walking around with a blood pressure like that and don't know it.
Yeah, then they drop dead.
I have no idea what to do. I'm fucking sick of a broken system that doesn't work and doesn't care.
Um... We're broken here in the US, but we're not that broken.
Make sure you file as many complaints as you can lob at them. Gimme a bit and I'll see if I can help you work around this bullshit.
