[QUOTE="Henry W, post: 16216, member: 9526"] I did have an ECG and was told everything was fine. In fact the only comment at the time of all the tests was that I was asked whether I was taking blood pressure pills. The answer to which was no, I have never needed them. My blood pressure and at rest heart rate have not changed in over 35 years!!! It was the same when I joined the Army in 1973, when I joined the Met Police in 1974, when I left in 1988 etc, etc. I was diagnosed as a baby with having acidosis, something which I have since discovered apparently leads inevitaby to type 2 diabetes and obesity after the age of 30. Strangely enough it was from 40 onwards that I put on weight and at 51 was diagnosed with type 2. However my GP seems determined to ignore this fact, despite confirming from my notes that it was in fact true that I had acidosis as a child. I only remembered as I was not allowed to drink milk, have sugar, had to avoid sweets etc when I was young. Am seeing the GP again on Monday, 1 month after the last lot of tests, to try and find a different drug to take. I am going to ask to be referred to a specialist, are there any such individuals? Can't hack the Metformin, the stomach cramps and feeling of nausea and reflux are too much to bear. Was taking them in the middle of the meal, as suggested, did not make any difference. [/QUOTE]
