 Do people do it before starting hyperthyroid meds, or after? 
 I know ideally blood pressure should really be done before any bloods really if poss. </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Blood pressure</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/47082?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Oct 2011 17:14:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:87c2c7e8-224b-452a-8e08-c1f0a13f11f9</guid><dc:creator>Martin Atkinson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;Before, after, in-between, regularly on every health check,&amp;nbsp;you have no comparison if you don&amp;#39;t.&amp;nbsp;I think we should be performing BP a lot more regularly than we do, I keep trying to remember to keep the monitor in my consult room to remind me to do it but I forget!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Blood pressure</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/47074?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:35:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:09550894-be90-4ce0-b04f-583a081ce2c4</guid><dc:creator>Julian Earl</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Anytime! Certainly it should be done in untreated cats but it can develop in cats even when on successful (as judged by T4 levels) treatment. You are, of course, unlikely to be performing the measurement&amp;nbsp;on untreated cats, but it is as well to know from the start what the BP is. Personally, I don&amp;#39;t do it more frequently&amp;nbsp;than six monthly. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
