6th July 2005
Hello.
I am Adiana and I have recently been put on 2.5 mg of Altace in place of the 10 mg of Ziac I was taking. This was three weeks ago. I have noticed my blood pressure is uncontrollable as well as my pulse. I have bad headaches, problems with my vision, as well as a feeling of general malaise. I tried to donate blood today but was rejected because of high pulse---121 beats per minute as well as 169 over 117 blood pressure! YIKES! No wonder I feel like crap! I have asked my doctor to please put me back on Ziac but she won't do it---I was informed by one of the so-called "gatekeepers" at the doctor's office that I just had to "deal with it" until my next scheduled appointment which is not until the 18th of July!
This person also told me that my doctor said that we would discuss it then. I don't believe my doctor told that idiot to tell me that at all because that is not like my doctor. I don't usually call in with a problem unless it is pretty severe---I think this is just a case of some wannabe doctor's assistant taking it upon herself to blow me off! I am going to go and see my doctor in the morning and if I can't at least get to speak with her, well, then I am going to report it. This particular office has bad problems with giving decent customer service and you might as well forget about your doctor getting accurate messages from you because these people never turn in the correct information. I was told to come in anytime for necessary blood work that my doctor had ordered after fasting for 12 hours. I did what was asked but when I got to the office, I got told that I was just going to have to wait for "awhile" for someone to be able to do the work! I waited for 1 and one-half hours and still never got to do my tests. It does not matter whatever day you come in because there is never anyone to do the tests period! I am also going to tell my doctor about this as well! I hope she chews the crap out of these idiots! :mad: :mad: :mad:
