Had an appointment to takes biopsies and to see if there was a visible reason why I’ve been bleeding. Gyno found two polyps, one quite large. He tried to remove them but the larger one was proving difficult to remove and I was in pain so I’ve been told I need a D&C to remove them and to take the thickened lining away. He could also see I had quite bad VA. I then had my blood pressure taken which was high. It always is as I have white coat syndrome. They took my BP again and it was higher and then again and again until it was 240/157! They wouldn’t let me out, said I had to go to A&E but fortunately the consultant said I hadn’t got any other symptoms and I’d just be left waiting for 10 hours so they let me go home. BP had gone lower now. Anyway, the consultant said if my BP was high they wouldn’t do the D&C and it could be done without being under anaesthetic. I’m terrified! Has anyone had this done while awake? He also said I might need a hysterectomy at some point. I took blood pressure pills and a diazepam before going to hospital today but nothing ever keeps my blood pressure steady in these situations. My guess is I’ll go for the procedure and it won’t be done. Does anyone else have blood pressure issues in these situations and were you able to overcome them?
