Day 6
Hmm.. Well Dr. Vo just stopped by because he had heard that her blood pressure medicines have changed in frequency and or dose.  This concerned him somewhat in that he has expected the medications to be much more affective, although like everyone else since the captopril seems to have an affect he think renal artery stenosis is the likely cause.  He would very much like to get her more stable before doing an angiogram, although he is considering maybe doing that by tuesday if she does not show signs of getting much better.  He is going to stop by again tomorrow to check in and see how she is doing.  If she hasn't shown signs of having her blood pressure under control by monday he is thinking of scheduling the angiogram for tuesday.  He is kind of hesitant about this, since it is not 100% that she has narrowed arteries and he would like her to be more stable - although if the blood pressure isn't being controlled and she isn't comfortable he wants to find out why and see about getting it fixed.
