I was prescribed an anti inflammatory drug by a hospital consultant. Manor View were aware that this drug could cause high blood pressure in some patients who were prevelant to this condition. After some months on the medication I was contacted by the surgery to have a blood pressure check. My BP was over 200! Danger level! I immediately stopped taking the medication and they continued to monitor my blood pressure - which thankly returned to normal after about a week. The speedy action by Manir View may well have prevented me from having a stroke or even a heart attack. Thank you for looking after me so well at age 82.
