Rectifying Blood pressure takes several months of adjustment for many patients, and in particular life style impacts greatly, ie diet, exercise, existing health issues etc, so there is no quick fix, you should find a doctor I suggest with an understanding ie one of the larger practices in Pattaya like Dr Belem, Dr Ben or I suggest a hospital practitioner.

I guess you want a miracle cure, well sorry with Blood pressure this does not happen:

There are five main classes of medicines that are used to lower blood pressure:

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

Angiotensin receptor blockers

Calcium-channel blockers

Diuretics (water tablets)

Beta-blockers

ACE inhibitors - sometimes cause an irritating cough.

Angiotensin receptor blockers - sometimes cause dizziness.

Calcium-channel blockers - sometimes cause dizziness, facial flushing, swollen ankles, and constipation.

Diuretics - can cause gout attacks in a small number of users, or can make gout worse if you already have gout. Impotence develops in some users.

Beta-blockers - can cause cool hands and feet, poor sleep, tiredness, and impotence in some users.

One medicine can reduce high blood pressure to the target level in less than half of cases. It is common to need two or more different medicines to reduce high blood pressure to a target level. In about a third of cases, three medicines or more are needed to get blood pressure to the target level. So, for example, you may need an ACE inhibitor plus a calcium-channel blocker (and sometimes also another medicine) to control your blood pressure

Treatment is guided by the A/C, A+C, A+C+D approach as follows:

If you are less than 55 years old and are not of black African or Caribbean origin then initial treatment should be with 'A' (an ACE inhibitor, or an angiotensin receptor blocker if an ACE inhibitor causes problems or side-effects).

If you are 55 years or older, or are of black African or Caribbean origin then initial treatment should be with 'C' (a calcium-channel blocker).

Then, if the target blood pressure is not reached, combine 'A' with 'C' (an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker plus a calcium-channel blocker).

Then, if target blood pressure is still not reached, combine 'A' with 'C' and 'D' (an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker, and a calcium-channel blocker, and a diuretic).

If a fourth medicine is needed to achieve the target blood pressure, consider adding of one of the following:

A beta-blocker

Another diuretic

An alpha-blocker

I hope this helps you understand how not to end up with a stroke or dying!

Good luck

Please do not send anyone your bank details unless your clearly trust them, you may badly regret it. Sorry!

Hi,

There used to be a shop at the front of Made In Thailand (2nd Road) before it was rebuilt, run by a Israeli young guy and his Thai wife, selling Jeans and good shirts, does anyone know where he is now please? (No silly comments thanks)

Take it to DC Computers, 3rd floor on Tuk.com, ask them and they will take apart, apply some external connectors and show you the data is still okay, (if not the circuitry, they will assist you further) then you can ask them to get you a new case with (circuitry standard) and they will charge you cost of case (plus a tip if you are feeling pleased?) Time? 5 minutes.

I understand everyone has good ideas how to help you, but I believe this is an easy fix.

Sorry but you dont understand....inside the case is some micro-circuitry which the drive inside the case is fitted into inside the case....this circuitry packs up often...so when you buy a new case the new circuitry inside is replaced, when you refit the hard drive...hey presto

So do you understand, its not magic! I have fixed 100's this way

Best

Paul

Very common problem...external hard drive circuit is u/s...take to tuk.com and ask them to remove internal hard drive unit and fit into a new case..cost 350 baht+- ...this usually fixes it..DC computers 3rd Floor or any competent shop can do this in 3 minutes.

Anyone seen where I can buy a Chip pan basket? (ie basket that goes in the pan!) I've looked at big stores and behind Big C shop, no luck yet!

Go to Tops supermarket on Pattaya Klang...outside the supermarket in the lay by is the pick up point, a guy sitting under the umbrella runs it all etc. The minibus leaves every hour on the hour to Hua Hin, via change at Bangkok, very simple, 350 Baht.

Don't use the direct service at 400 Baht, it stops at nearly every small town along the way!

Thanks and point taken, its well chained and I guess then thats it!

Well, thanks for all the comments, yes you are right that the best I could get in Pattaya was 78,000, so I looked around and I bought at a Sattahip dealer 68,200 and with nothing included, but with 2 years theft and 2 years government compulsory insurance, tax, registration, red plates for 2 months and delivered by pick up to Pattaya all arranged today etc it came to 73,500, (I took a thai friend to help with the price, and by the way they had plenty of bikes including the red ones).

yes and as "Thailaw" states the manufacturers list price is 68,500 base price but the dealerships do get further discounts if they order enough.

That's good, i know of two people who have had their PCX's stolen recently, apparently they are the current target of choice for the A hole thief's!! , make sure yours is chained to something solid, these feckers just pick them up and in to the back of a pick up, dismantled en-route and sold for parts at the Cambo border!!

Well I've been around today and was quoted 68,200 with two years theft insurance, tax and paperwork completed etc. Would like to get a red one though they seem to be in short supply in that colour!

Anyone seen the red one around for sale please?

Thanks for replies

How much was it without extras do you remember please?

I've decided to buy one, does anyone know best price, shop etc in Pattaya please.

I see the US military is in town....what a change over the years!! Watching them shoulder barge past tourists along the beach front, challenging anyone who looks at them, swigging their bottles of beer...to think I have all my life held the USA (and the military) in respect?

Forget the efforts they make painting orphanages etc when they are here, its all ruined by the attitude of them out and about. Worse than any tourists including the brits, ruskies etc.

Heard a rumour that wholesalers (for Bars) have put up price of beer by 200 baht a box, is this true?

Chinese baby milk!! You must be mad! :jap:

It is recommended that mothers breastfeed for six months or more, without the addition of infant formula or solid food.

Recommedation's are fine and dandy if the mother produces enough milk.

I've got a 2 month old and Mom would have to produce like a Holstein to feed my little guy.

To the OP, I'm not down south so not subject to the panic buying, But I've found Enfalac 1+ year old formula just about everywhere. Check 7/11, Lotus and other name shops. Failing that I've found the mom and pop shops everywhere are stocked with baby formula and diapers/wipes, some of the smallest shops have loads of the stuff. The Chinese stores that you have a hard time walking in usually have lots of stock stashed away.

Good luck and hope you find what you need.

The one near my house is "serviced and cleaned" every month with a large sticker showing individual results for that cleaning etc.

It is up to the owner etc.

I believe I need 800,000 baht in an account to meet retirement visa rules, can anyone tell me what interest rate I can get and where from etc please.

Thanks

Yes thats right and fair choice at low prices!

You should be able to find it in the large shop behind Big C in north Pattaya that sells everything from cutlery to statues.

Clinical Lifecare Lab, a small single shop-house clinic in the new shop-houses on 3rd road between the elevated section going to Bali High Pier and the Soi 17 traffic lights.

It's in the soi opposite the peach coloured apartment block (LV Appts) on 3rd road.

Open 7am till 10pm. Results usually available same day. 038488048 & 0814817180

Well speaking from experience, I've lost 35kgs and now weigh 70Kgs..this took 30 months of exercise every day and completely modifying my diet.

Losing weight and keeping it off is tough!!! Its a complete life style change...small healthy meals, lower amounts of alcohol and no moped etc, walking everywhere...buy a bicycle!

(You will need to really improve how and what you eat forever!)

Me, I hate gyms but have used them and you must have a personal trainer for at least 3 months to help you.

As to which Gym you try its up to you although WOW is okay, but any Gym that do not give you a fitness test and check your blolod pressure on 1st visit is a waste of time.

You should go for a full blood and urine tests to establish what your Fats and sugars etc are and then you have a base line to work from. (I suggest lifecare Laboroatories near Bali Hi pier 500 Baht for a good check up)

Let me know how you get on, maybe you are serious, but don't forget its forever!

Paul

Where can I get this done in Bangkok, ie Laboratory) I know Bumrungrad and other big hospitals offer this, but at a stupid price.
