I am NOT a Doctor, so take this for what it is worth!
I have high blood pressure as do 2/3 of the people in the U.S.. of that only 1/3 know it or try to control their BP, per CDC, that is NFG! We all eat food that is LOAD with sodium. Why do food companies do that, it is what people expect the food to taste like.
I had an appointment to see my GP today to renew my BP script. I called last week to see if we could do it over the phone instead. I was told they would rather use telemedicine, I told them that my puter can’t do that, how about just a phone visit. They said OK.
Doc called me today and we spent the usual 10 minutes talking. He of course did not get to check my heart and lung sounds sounds, small risk in the middle of a pandemic. All is well Express Script BP meds are on the way.
If your script is for pain meds. I doubt you can refill over the phone.
