I’ve known I have high blood pressure for a number of years but had no idea how high, no I’ll affects. At recent smear test Nurse asked to check BP, talked about checking breasts, few other things and BP found to be 180/120. Given appt with GP who precscribed meds’.
I bought BP monitor on GP’s advice, from these readings meds increased, another prescription BP settled at 137/93.
Recently had emergency op totally unrelated BP v v high again. Left hospital with 3 items on prescription, paid 3 charges and fingers crossed things slowly improving.
I realise i’ve run out of BP meds, went to GP Surgery to order more, never really had anything other than pill years ago on repeat. I must have been living under a rock, prescription is for a month and I pay the further charge, is it £9 every month?
I’m a single parent and do get a small amount of tax credits (pay for registered childcare when i’m at work) but do I have to pay this charge each month? Google not helping me!
