stuphel Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm a snowbird, and my Canadian doctor would like me to track my blood pressure periodically when I'm down here. I know I can get that done at the LCS, but I don't go into the village regularly enough to hit the day(s) of the week that they run the blood pressure clinic. Can I go to a pharmacist and ask for a doctor on duty to take my blood pressure? Should I expect the charge to run about the cost for a consultation (which appears to be about 30 pesos or so? Should I go to a clinic? Would Cruz Roja do that for a donation (and what would be an appropriate amount? I don't want to take a doctor's time for such a routine matter.

Frijoles Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Why don't you just buy a blood pressure monitor and do it yourself? Sam's Club and Costco probably have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Buy a reputable blood pressure kit, not something made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Most of the larger farmacias have blood pressure monitoring machines of all types. I have to do that daily and have a couple of types; one battery operated and the other a manual type. Both have direct read-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
