M: Would you hold out your wrist, please? I’ll just take your pulse. Mm, the other side. Well, your pulse is regular.
W: Thank you.
M: Now your blood pressure. I’d like you to slip off your coat and roll up your sleeve. Mm, fix this around your arm here. That’s it.
W: Is it normal?
M: No, it isn’t. Your blood pressure is rather high.
W: Really? I’m worried, doctor. I’ve heard all sorts of things about people with hypertension. You get heart attacks, strokes. That won’t happen to me, will it?
M: No, it won’t. Now, let’s finish the rest of the examination and then we’ll check the pressure again. Would you sit up a little straight and roll up your shirt, so I can check your heart and lungs? Fine. Just breathe normally. Turn on your left side, facing away from me, please. Good. Now I’d like you to take deep breaths in and out through your mouth. Again, give a cough please. A couple of more times. Good. Now let’s have a look at your blood pressure again.
W: How is it now, doctor?
M: Still high. I can’t find anything else wrong. It may be that the high blood pressure caused your nosebleed.
W: What shall I do?
M: I’ll do a few more things to see if we can get to the bottom of the problem. I’ll check your blood and urine. Then I’ll send you up to the hospital for a chest X-ray and a cardiogram. In the meantime, carry on as normal and I’ll see you in a week’s time.
W: Thank you very much, doctor.
