I am very late to post this, but having just found this website i would like to pass on my thanks to Dr Brady and Dr Watkins at Glasgow Royal Infirmary Outpatients Dept.
During my early 20s i suffered from severe hypertension and was subsequently put on multiple bloody pressure medications for this and was also diagnosed with LV hypertrophy as a result. I was warned umpteen times not to fall pregnant as it would be dangerous for me. I also suffered lots of side effects from these medications and felt unwell for years. My care was transferred to the GRI in my 30s where i was seen by Dr Brady who discovered i had FMD in my renal artery which was causing the hypertension. I was then placed under the care of Dr Watkins who suggested an angioplasty and stent to attempt to treat this (i was informed this is not guaranteed to work). I was very lucky and the procedure cured my high blood pressure. I no longer need to take any medication for my blood pressure and am delighted to say i have recently had a healthy baby. I am seen annually for checkups and every time am treated with care, dignity and respect. I will never be able to thank Dr Watkins and Dr Brady enough for all the care i have been given from them and for the huge improvement in my life as a result.
