I went to Phetcherat Hospital in Phetburi to check my high blood pressure.
Got a prescription for some pills, which I used for two weeks.
Went back for a new check four weeks later with and found to my surprise that the blood pressure was back to normal.
This happened around a year ago and I guess I now need to undergo a new treatment again due to it's a bit high again.
I intend to live forever - so far so good.

I have been going to Dr. Sumet who has been keeping an eye on my blood pressure for more than 3 years now. His surgery is south of main traffic lights on LHS of Petchkasem Rd and yes he is a peadiatrician (Spelling?) but he's also a damn good GP - speaks good English too.

He can check for Cholesterol and Triglycerides which are the cause of my problem and they have been under control for ages.

I would suggest that you visit a reliable hospital FIRST (nearest appears to be in Petcherat according to most board memebers here) and get a full check and diagnosis of the causes.

Once known, I'm sure that Sumet can deal with the regular checks - I go every other month.
