She doesn't have high blood pressure. She was referred to this Gastrointestinal Doctor for consistent abdomen pain. He told her today after getting all the x-rays back to take more Miralax. And by the way you have an enlarged heart so you should not be driving. He did not refer her to a heart specialist, he just dropped this bomb. She lives 5 hours away so I am unable to go to the doctor with her. I need answers, what should I do.
I went with my parents to all of their doctor appointments, and afterwards when they were in the back seat of my vehicle I would hear them chat about their appointment.... good grief, were they in the same exam room as I was with their doctor? They would have things so mixed up.
By the way, high blood pressure doesn't stop any one from driving as there are easy to take blood pressure pills with little side effects. I would suggest if your Mom does have an enlarged heart that she start seeing a cardiologist. I have my own cardiologist and she is such a sweetheart :)
Drivers over 85 have to renew in person every other year. Check her license, it may be expired and she did not notice. Multiple medical conditions can trigger a driver evaluation, including road test.
