My husband (63, height 5'7, weight 11st 12)has been feeling unwell for some weeks but put it down to his allergies and medication. However, he went to his GP on Friday who found his blood pressure to be 168/90. (She is sending him for tests but did not give him any medication in the interim). He has been having frequent headaches, difficullty in dirving at times (reactions are slow), and some dizziness at times. He has a leaky heart valve which he has monitored and is told it is Cat 2 which we understand is low in terms of risks. Should he skip the tests and just go straight to his cardiologist asap? ( given that it might take a few weeks to arrange the tests)?
