Abnormal EKG and High Blood Pressure Before TT? (photo)

Stop the phentermine.  I don't allow my surgery patients to take active wt loss drugs.  Make sure you get surgical clearance from your pcp and probably cardiologist.  A tt is elective and you want to only have surgery under the best possible circumstances.  Good luck!  Dr K

    The high blood pressure may be episodic and due to nervousness, but you can determine if there is any validity to this by taking your blood pressure at home or at the drug store.  The cardiologist will give you the proper evaluation and make a decision about your high blood pressure as well.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
