Winnie, he's not doing any exercises. I'll tell him to start those :whip: he's going every weekend for a long walk in the woods to spot some birds.

It's 7.24am here now. The night went good! Pfew. I'm relieved!
He went to work now, and his appt is at 10.15am, he'll call me what the doctor said.

Hubby just called. The doctor was called away for an emergency. He had the choice of waiting, or make a new appt for this afternoon. 2pm he has to come back.

Thanks ladies!

Hubby just called. The doctor measured his BP 2 times, (within 20 minutes), both times it was to high, so he gave him medicine for a high bp.
He listened to his heart. And thought his heart has to work to hard. Since he is still young (yup, 35yo LOL ) he gave hubby medicine for his heart. They are in case for something would happen. The dr said if nothing happens with the heart, the medicine don't harm anything. If something will happen to the heart, the medicine are doing their job.
He will also get a call from the hospital to do a cardiology test on a bike.

I'm happy it was nothing dangerous for now!
I hope he doesn't have to wait that long for the test in the hospital.

I am glad he got this checked out. Did the doctor tell him to watch his salt intake? My mom has really high BP since she was pregnant with my brother. Her drs always recommended low-sodium diet, although not all drs say that.
In her case-- which might be different than others- she really notices a difference when she cheats and eats too much salt. It might be good to keep an eye on that too.

Good luck to all of you!

Thanks for the tip Chris! I'm cooking mostly salt-less. (People always notice when I'm have somebody over for dinner, and I serve cooked potatoes, apperently most people cook them with salt, but I learned from my mom to cook them without salt LOL )

But he likes to eat the liqorice and salmiak lollypops. I'll go and hide them :behindsofa:

I am glad he is on meds. I developed high bp 10 yrs ago, as long as I stay on my meds, it is fine. Gets lower when I do reg exercise as well.

Great news. I'm on high BP meds too (I eat other meds that gives you high BP - weird to have to eat meds to be able to eat other meds LOL), and it got down really quick once I started with them.

Walks in the forest is a great exercise - if he does this regurlaly he gets exercise. And here I thought all Dutch people spent all their time on skates ;)

Great that he's going to do the cardiotest on the bike. This is really going to make it possible for the drs to see how his heart works. And I'm sorry - he really shouldn't eat licorice - at least not right now, when his BP is so high. It's no joke - licorice is really really bad. Hide it ... or send it to me ;)

All in all - it sounds like you have really good healt care in NL!

I'm glad you did that! A stress test is so important and could have saved my Dad's life (56 yrs old) but he wanted to waited too long to have it.
With your hubby's family history he needs to stay proactive!

I have been on statins since I turned 50 because of my family history...

Sue, I'm sorry to hear your dad wanted to wait longer :-(

Yesterday DH had his test. He was on the bike for 20minutes.
Tomorrow I make a new appt for the doctor, and he'll get his results.

Hubby went to the doctor today, to hear his test results.
They where al fine!! PFEW!

The doctor said that if there even was a teenytiny something wrong with his heart, it would show on the results.
BP was oke now. Hubby asked the doctor if it was because of the meds, or it was just oke for itself. The doctor couldn't tell him.

Now he has to go give blood next week, befor he is eating his breakfast. The doctor wants to see if the glucose and cholesterol is oke.

Yvon - my husband does those stress tests and I am so glad he was able to do it with exercise because when they use meds instead it is kinda miserable.

He needs to take these meds for 30 days. After that he has to go back to the dr, and see what he says.
The dr thinks those 30days will be the only ones. At least I hope so to!

Hubby also hopes it will be only those 30 days, because he can't swallow pills. It is hylarious looking at him trying to swallow a pil from 0.5cm! LOL

At 2:15am the cordiologist came, told us everything with the heart was oke for now. Blood was tested and was oke. At 7am they will test his blood again. At 3am I got home. I'm totally sleepy now!

I have to call the doctor within 1hr and ask what they have planned. The new bloodresults will be ready. And probably hubby can come home today.

Hubby is home again! Pfew!!
The cardiologist told us it was not the heart, and not because of high BP. It's probably his stomach, acid burn. He has medicine for his stomach now, and needs to come back within 4-6wks. If this happens again, he'll get more tests.
