Hi Jerry

Sorry I didn't spell your name right last time!

I would like to tell you and others what happened to me regarding

smoking. When I was in research 23 years ago being diagnosed I was a

smoker. I was on continuos bp monitor readings. Being a smoker I

used to go outside my room for a smoke taking the monitor with me!!

Yes naughty but the Prof in charge did not allow smoking. In fact he

was then the head of the Queensland Anti Smoking Campaign. Anyway his

assistant used to wonder why sometimes my bp was better than other

times for spells. When he mentioned this to me I admitted to him I

smoked and had noticed the difference myself. He said he would come

back in 2 hours, not to have a cig in that time and then have one in

the room while he was there. This I did when he came back. Yes my bp

went up by 15. Strangely the same 15 every cig. It wouod last about

an hour before going back lower again. He was convinced and asked me

to do the same thing two hours later when he bought the Prof with him.

I saw the disgust on the Prof's face and had the feeling he had been

dragged to the room for a lot of nonsence!!! Well it worked again!

The Prof checked it 3 more times then was convinced. He told me that

he would never have dreamt in a million years he would tell a patient

to smoke but that he was telling me to. Just told me to keep it quiet

from other patients in other rooms as he usually sent patients caught

smoking home!! So you could say in my case it was definitely proved

that it raises bp for a time which is why you feel better. I know

when I have tried to give it up thinking it may not still be helping

in later years I got worse, having many more falls. So of course went

back to it again and felt the difference. I wouldn't encourage any

non-smoker to smoke when patches are now available. I certainly

would encourage the use of patches though and monitor to see if

any difference in bp is occurring. The patches weren't availablein my

time for several years. This is all absolutely true, not joking about

this time. Love Anne SDS 23 years

Anne,

BUT! This is one more reason not to smoke in bed )

Since your BP goes up when laying down, it would drive it even higher )

Remember too that our Annie is just trying to justify her smoking )

Hey Anne, does Tony smoke? Or does his BP go up when he sees you

smoke )

Ave a hug.

Ave a g'day mate. (We marked yer down 5 points for incorrect spelling)

)

Take care, Bill and Charlotte
