Dad’s BP was 124/60 yesterday morning, which Dr. Hasket said is still a bit low, good for the heart but not so much for the brain.
The cat scan show micro vascular disease which I understand it to be weakening of the vessels.
Blood work was OK.
Since he has had no other occurrences, he thinks that they may have been from too low BP.
He is to stay off of the blood pressure medicine, Norvasc and to cut the other BP medicine, Lisinipril (not sure of the spelling) in half and come back for a recheck on the 15th.
He considered suggesting that Dr. Parker, the heart doctor in Gville see him earlier than the 27 of July (which is his appt already scheduled), but decided against it because he felt that Dr. Parker would agree with what he’s doing UNLESS he has another occurrence, then we are to call him-Hasket.
He mentioned that Dad had a MRI and a MRA in October of ‘05 – but I can’t remember why he brought that up.
Margaret may remember other things that he said, but this was pretty much it as I remember.
