High blood pressure woes

I went to see Dr Scott this morning. A very pleasant young man. I asked about menopause/osteoporosis. I'm having a trouble-free menopause but worried about osteoporosis. He says I'm low-risk. Hurray!
Asked about bronchitis - I've had a couple of bouts. He says I've just been unlucky.

Asked about diet sheets. The practice doesn't have them. He suggested less calories and more exercise. He thought quite highly of Atkins but not the extreme versions.

I also thought I needed a general check-up. Haven't had one for years. So he took my blood pressure. It's always been absolutely perfect before. This time it was quite high. So I go and see the practice nurse for another one plus blood tests. Then I go and discuss the results with him. Do you think he'll prescribe meds of some kind? They're generally effective if they're early enough?

I was right to go. I've had no particular symptoms of high blood pressure but I had some suspicions.
