Question to GP Maarten: Blocked blood vessel and expensive medicines
A swollen left leg was diagnosed as dangerous after an ultrasound because of a blocked blood vessel. I was admitted to the BPH and stayed there for 3 days with a lot of medication that had to be injected. If they worked, I was allowed to continue to heal at home with medicines to be taken orally.
Normally I use my medicines here, which I brought with me from the Netherlands, including Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg. With this medicine I keep my blood pressure nicely between 125 and 130. Suppress 70. When I don't use the medicine, the pressure goes to between 140 and 155. Suppress the same. It's about to run out and I've started using the means of GPO. It does nothing.
