Full transcript
Your recent readings have been higher than usual, so I'd like you to wear a 24-hour blood pressure monitor before we adjust your medication.
Voinko käyttää suolan korviketta ruoanlaitossa? Onko tämä mittari epämukava, ja voinko silti käydä töissä sen ollessa päälläni?
Yes, a salt substitute is fine instead of table salt. The monitor is lightweight, not uncomfortable, and you can keep working normally while wearing it.
Pitääkö minun kirjata ylös oireet, kuten päänsärky tai huimaus, kun mittari on käytössä?
Yes, please log any headaches or dizziness with the time they occur. If your systolic reading exceeds 150, note it immediately.
Voinko lopettaa lääkkeen ottamisen, jos verenpaineeni näyttää normaalilta muutaman päivän ajan?
No, don't stop the tablets even if readings look normal, unless I specifically advise a change — stopping suddenly can cause your pressure to spike.
Onko turvallista aloittaa reipas kävelylenkki heti, vai pitäisikö odottaa mittarin tuloksia?
Brisk walking is safe now; the Heart Foundation recommends about 30 minutes daily. We'll confirm any changes once we see your monitor results.
Milloin minun pitäisi tulla takaisin käymään läpi mittarin tulokset?
Please return the monitor to the clinic on Thursday morning, and book a follow-up appointment for next Monday at 9am.
Selvä, palautan mittarin torstaina ja varaan ajan maanantaiksi. Kiitos, että vastasitte kaikkiin kysymyksiini.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
