Went to the doc last Tuesday cuz my BP has been real high lately and I've had a constant headache for the past two weeks. (Haven't been to the doc in about 4 years btw)
Went to see him and he was like "Yep, you've got high BP" (150/110)
He put me on Losartan and took 7 vials of blood (I joked and told him my cholesterol would be high, so I would be prepared for the *****ing when I saw him next). Scheduled a follow-up for the next month.
Got a call 2 days later, and they said my results were in and needed to see me. Weird.... I couldn't get in till today. The doc walks in, I smile and ask what the verdict is on my cholesterol. (Lol, I say this as I'm munch on some bacon btw.)
He said it's a little high, then asked if I knew what Polycythemia Vera was. I didn't.
He explained what it is, and said that I have this condition.
He took more blood for more tests, put in a standing order for me to get blood taken out every 3 months, and will get with a hematologist/oncologist for me to go see.
Peachy.
