She then went to the doctors and showed them her records and only then did they take action by making her an appointment with a specialist at the hospital. I will at this point state that Babs is not overweight and is only eight and a half stone. Cutting a long story short (much to your relief)

One neighbour who lived up the road from us also kept going to the doctors with the same problem, they did nothing really saying that her readings were OK, same as Babs, she died after suffering a sever stroke!!
If you or your wife suspects that either one of you are having high blood pressure then I would urge you all to purchase a blood pressure machine (not expensive) and keep a record of the readings and present to your doctor, don't just accept being fobbed off.
Now it is my turn!

I sat there unable to answer, I was so taken aback by his response. He looked at me and told me to go the the dentist. So off I went to the dentist who took an X-ray then made me an appointment for an X-Ray at the hospital. Long story cut short!! I was then seen at the Maxi-facial Dept. and was in extremely good hands as Babs used to work there as secretary so they all knew her and I underwent a biopsy and took out a small part of the growths, I still have numbness on part of my face from it. Fortunately they are benign tumours but one big problem is that I have an impacted Wisdom Tooth in the jaw bone and it produced these benign tumours which have so far eaten away my jaw bone leaving a large hole. They are going to operate but because I have heart disease and suffered three heart attacks in the past with a stent being fitted on the last one, I had to go to see a specialist in anaesthetics who would then decide if I can be anaesthetized for the operation. He found out that after asking certain questions in a STOPBANG score I possibly have a high risk of moderate to severe risk of sleep apnoea where, when asleep, my breathing stops, (wondered why sometimes I wake up suddenly)“What do you want me to do about it?”

Now still waiting but my consultant who will operate wants me in without too much delay as there is a risk of my jaw shattering so I had been told very sternly by him.........not to fall down

Anyway chaps, this is the reason why I will not be on the forum as some-days I don't feel up to doing much.
