Lol! I went to get an ultrasound on my leg and when they took my blood pressure on my right wrist it was high so they tried the left and it was quite a bit lower. So long story short, I googled the blood pressure thing and that was one of the possible things it could be. I will be calling my doctor tomorrow for the test results but should I get an appointment with the PA or is this something I should see the doctor about?
The short answer is I think you would be better off seeing a doctor. This is not a real routine, common problem. I'd have to know much more to really make any meaningful remarks or suggestions. Midlevel providers are fine for most routine uncomplicated problems, but this isn't something most midlevels deal with routinely.
I am probably jumping the gun. My daughter kinda scared me when I told her about my blood pressure thing and my leg swelling. She thought I should have called the doctor right then, lol. After I talk to my doctor, can I get back with you?
