If my husband is in pain, it is always easy to get him to make a doctor's appointment. But what do I do when his blood pressure is so high and he won't go? Should I just let him die to prove to him he should have gone to the doctor??

    

Well, I hope this isn't a serious question about letting your partner die. If I were you, I'd call up his primary doctor and ask for advice. This will both inform the doctor of his condition, and they can advise you whether it is threatening enough to call for an ambulance or if they could just schedule a regular visit in the near future.

Well, of course I'm not going to let him die (I have a problem with my sarcasm) but sometimes I think it's the only way he will finally learn he should have gone. He had to go to the nurse at work for the annual physical and she said his BP was higher than normal, but he thinks that is sufficient for a doc appointment.

I would call the nurse from work and ask her to talk to him and tell him that she highly recommends that he see his doctor.
You can either do that OR do what I've done. Make the appointment and then on the day of the appointment take him for a drive...to the doctors office. It's worked for me! If he refuses to go in, say, "okay, but there's a $50 fee to cancel." Guaranteed to get him into the doctors office (I've never known a man who would just throw away money like that).

At first I wasn't with ya because he hates surprises. And since he doesn't like to go anyway, it would have made it worse. BUT, the fifty dollar fee (which is actually seventy five for us) would do it! That might be the way to go for me!

I can give you a guy's perspective. Just be gentle about suggesting I should go, and don't nag about it. I just need some time to think it over, and maybe the problem is concerning me more than you realize it, and I am scared about finding out something is wrong.

Hi,

For the best and possible is call a doctor and state your problem with your husband and ask your doctor's advice since your doctor don't want to go to doctor. Or just ask a doctor what meds to take in order your husband BP is high to calm. I know there's a meds on that...

If your husband does not like to go to a doctor you can always act as a doctor to him. You can search ahealthdir.com and find a lot of information. You should have some knowledge about handling such a situation. Moreover, take your husband on walk regularly that keeps one away from many diseases. Hope my suggestion works for you.
And yes, call your family doctor as soon as possible.

Discuss health issues with him very frankly and tell him how doctor can help with right advice and right medication.
