just been to the docs

hi folks,
i've recently moved about 150 miles so had to get a new doc for my meds.
good news was that he's given me a repeat prescription
for both imigran and O2,24jabs and 12bottles a month ;D ;D ;D
but when i tried to talk to him re-verapamil,other preventatives and a posible stress test for my heart,he didn't want to know.he said that verapamil wasn't prescribed for anything at "that higher dosage"340mg?i think was mentioned.also said there was no need for a stress test
i have a neuro appointment coming,but it won't be for another 6months+
should i wait to see a neuro for the verapamil,or is it something that a more enlightened doc can decide?
he wasn't convinced about theO2 either,but he gave me it when i showed him my records
got my first proper non-rebreather-jonny you're right-
O2 rocks mate!!!
any ideas appreciated,although i can stop the beast,it'd
be nice to maybe kick him in to touch for a bit!!!! 
PFDAN's to all
dave

It's hard to get a stress test unless you have an irregular EKG. As far as the Verapamil goes...I believe it's the #1 prescibed med to combat CH , isn't it ppl ? Too bad I can't take more than 3 or 4 - 80's (it slows down my hear rate too much)

i am going to try preventatives?

eww damn...hate to hear all that. The Verapamil may LOWER you BP to. Better be careful, huh. !

exactly mate ???
love my O2 and imigran,but docs says theyre very expensive-primary care trust may not want to pay for more.
have tried mushies as a preventative-initially very good response,however supply problems for theforseeable future
do all the preventatives work by affecting BP?
thanks dave
