Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Good to hear, especially the HBP and HC being treated. My previous doctor just shrugged off my HBC at the time (2010-ish), but it should have been treated in hindsight.
Yeah, when I was driving semi trucks, I had to get a medical card renewed every 4 years, but if my BP was over a certain limit when I got the physical to get said card, it would be reduced to 2 years.
I was borderline on that, and mentioned it to my PCP at a visit for an unrelated issue, and he decided that yeah, it was borderline high, and that we should be proactive and go ahead and start me on a mild-ish BP medication, and then he said "Ya know what, your cholesterol is starting to go up, too, let's go ahead and do something about that, too."
Prevention is the best cure.
