Re: Finding a GP in Canada
Not good news, sorry to here it Souv :/ 
My 2 eldest brothers have been diagnosed with high bloodpressure and potential heart problems, they've both had to change their diets & lifestyles to low salt/low fat/minimal alcohol and giving up the smokes. In a way though, it has put them on track to a much more active & healthy lifestyle so I guess its not all bad.

But do keep in mind that although you're down at the moment it is not the end of the world.
Are they giving you any indication of what they might think is wrong? What further testing do they want to do?
PM me if you want.

The medicine I have been prescribed is for high blood pressure (hydrochlorothiazide). Tomorrow's schedule is blood work and a chest X-ray. The requisition has "look for cardiomegaly" written on it.
