Q: Need Advice On Husbands Blood Pressure

On friday he ran out of his medication lisinopril 10 mg. Takes it once a day. He has been on it for about 10 years now. The doctor won't refill it until he comes in for a check up because he hasn't seen him in almost a year. The soonest appointment I can get him is december 9. They won't even give him enough to hold him over until his appointment. My husband doesn't think it's a big deal, but I do. As of yesterday with a friends home monitor his bp was 140/90. Should I keep pressing his doctor and fighting? Thank you.

140/90 is high bp.. But not extremely high... Keep monitoring his bp.. If it gets any higher than 150.... Then make sure you take him to the doctors.. High blood pressure can lead to serious problems... Hope this helps... =)
