Well week two of not smoking so thought I would go for a bp check at a pharmacy ...I was excited to hear how good it was ..183/111 ....was advised to see doctor or hospital right ways ..he looked at the ecig and said that is prob to blame ..??
So of I go to the doc who is proper old school doc and explained everything and showed him the form with bp results on it and explained pharmacy guy said the ecig is prob to blame ...he first said well that's crap ..he said even if it was raising bp a bit just think what the cigarettes were doing. .he said they are the best invention ever and no matter what harm they may or may not find just compare to cigarettes harm and the Ecig will always look like the best and healthy option compaired..
he said well Dave think about this ..pregnant women are advised not to use nicotine patches as they may be harmful to the baby and her ..also advised against nicotine gum again as their not sure on the effects to pregnant women ...so what they are saying is hey look these nicotine patches may be harmful so don't use them instead use cigarettes that we know kill you ...!!!
He checked bp again and was 146/90 and said you know what that's fine no way as bad a the pharmacy say ...(he said their machines are crap)
He said Dave your body is going through massive changes right now so is under stress ...and withdrawal from chemicals in cigarettes so bp is OK being a bit high ..and is doing a full health check as a reward for quitting ;-)
It was so so nice to hear a doc say how good ecigs are and understand the bollox political stuff behind the government and tobacco company's ...oh also good by bp is now good lol so that's my story
