Wow - I just want to jump in here; that is spectacularly bad advice. Are you seriously suggesting someone calls 999 and lies to them about symptoms??? The OP didn't mention chest pains. You might have had chest pains at some point, but you should try and remember that you are not the OP.
I'm lost for words, and no-one seems to have batted an eyelid.
Really, that is appalling, think of the consequences of that sort of behaviour.

I am sorry your friend suffered so Ka- mon it's a very sad story and shouldn't have happened

She took my BP again and it was high 180/110. She said i can't go on like this especially as it is impacting on my life so much and with the risks involved. She is also worried about the high spikes i get. She mentioned adrenal problems and a possible tumor. She can't do anything herself re my BP but has booked a phone consultation for me tomorrow with my GP. If i feel any worse i am to phone NHS Direct or go back to A&E.

I agree with you there; I certainly think most of what you post laughable and in truth when you say 'it's just an (sic) advice, nothing else' I think you are overstating it; it's barely advice.
What ever you say however, it doesn't escape the fact that your 'advice' is absolutely appalling; people die because ambulances are out on non emergency calls. It's not good enough to then say 'I was only joking' or what ever it is you are saying above, when you are challenged on it .
