[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 222912, member: 19121"] Carl, you have posted before about your bp and everyones advice as I remember was to go back to your gp as it was too high, your gp is obviously not going to help you so you need to get a second opinion from either another doctor at the same practice or change your gp. You could also try insisting you are referred to a cardiologist, dig your feet in and quote what the BUPA doc has said. You should not have to go private to get a level of care that any gp should offer, stop being nice and kick some butt down at your gp's. Not sure why the BUPA doc has suggested a statin for high pb though I thought they were just for cholesterol :? I would have thought a med to reduce your high bp would be more appropriate. Are you still taking metformin? If you are then even if you go private you should still get free prescriptions, I think? [/QUOTE]
