I just finished my yearly physical and I find that my blood pressure has risen a bit so the doctor prescribed an additional pill to take once a day. I had been taking Nadolol and hydrochlorothiazide which had wooed quite well. I have been taking the two of them for close to 10 years. I didn't get the colonoscopy done last year so the pressure is on to get it done this year and I hope for a negative result. I am fortunate that I work at a world class facility and my insurance can cover the cost. I believe last year my physical ,including lab work would have been $900 if it had to come out of my pocket which I could not afford to pay and I would have put off seeing a doctor until I got really sick. 5/4/10
