Can I Get A Good Doctor's Consultation If I Am On Welfare Scheme ?
Can I get a good doctors if I am on welfare I am scared of all my doctors. Everytime I go to the doctor they want to add another hypertension pill or increase the dosage. I feel that the doctors are bias towards me because I get a welfare check. I need to get treatment for my blood pressure . I feel all the medicine the doctors keeps giving me will hurt my kidneys. I don t want any more added or increase medications. From what the doctors tell me it is not helping.

hi;
sir you have got hypertension so you need treatment ;firstly go to some doctor without telling about your welfare;secondly trust the doctor ;i am pretty sure you have uncontrolled hypertension .Try to follow doctors advice control your diet i think you are not following dietary restrictions.Take medicines regularly;probably you are not taking medicines regularly because you fear that they may harm your kidneys.Remember if you don't take regular medicines your kidneys will be damaged because of hypertension.Normally antihypertensive medicines do not harm kidneys ;since so many patients are taking these medicines the world should be full of people with damaged kidneys.any questions please ask.
