Urgent Prayer Request: Dad's BP is 149/100 and arm pain.

[esavvymom]

My dad just called me asking if this was bad :
"My BP is 149/100. Is that bad?" I said yes, then he says, "Well, my left arm has been hurting alot lately. And I thought I had a pinched nerve in my back".
Dad- you need to get in somewhere!! Fortunately, his heart rate is apparently 74= BUT he has a blood-disorder (clots easily).


Uggh... Please pray for him! I'm 3 states away. My sister is an EMT but she's not close by, and he's afraid to get sent to the local hospital (it's not a great place- we've got bad history with them).

I know there are alot of prayer warriors on here and I wanted to surround him with it right now.

He's a great man, and I'm asking for your help! Please pray for his health, that he would find the right place to go for help, and that he would receive special attention and care. Thank you so much!

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear about your dad's health concerns. A blood pressure of 149/100 is definitely high and can put him at risk for serious health issues. It's good that his heart rate is normal but it's important for him to seek medical attention as soon as possible, especially with his history of blood clotting. I will definitely keep him in my thoughts and prayers. It's understandable that he is hesitant to go to a hospital with a bad history, but his health should be the top priority. Maybe your sister can help him find a different healthcare facility that he feels more comfortable with. Take care and stay strong.
