Full transcript
Your blood pressure today reads 158 over 95, which is higher than we'd like, especially compared with your last visit.
ඔව් වෛද්යතුමා, උදේට පෙති බීලා පස්සේ මට ටිකක් හිස කරකැවිල්ලක් දැනෙනවා, ඒත් පපුවේ කිසිම කැක්කුමක් නෑ.
Are you still taking the Amlodipine every morning as prescribed, and have you noticed any dizziness, headaches, or swelling since starting it?
ඔව්, ගොඩක් වෙලාවට උදේම තමයි වෙන්නේ. මම හිතුවේ මේක බරපතල දෙයක් වෙයිද කියලා, නමුත් පපුවේ කිසිම අමාරුවක් නෑ.
I'll reduce your dose slightly for now, and I'd like you to check your blood pressure at home twice daily for the next two weeks.
මට ගෙදර පීඩනය මැනගන්න මැෂිමක් ගන්න වෙයිද? ඒක මිල අධිකයි කියලා මම ටිකක් බය වෙනවා.
You don't need to buy an expensive monitor — Bendigo Health's community centre lends them out, or the local pharmacist can suggest an affordable option.
හරි, එහෙනම් මම ඒක බලාගන්නම්. ලුණු අඩුවෙන් තියෙන කෑම මොනවද කන්න පුළුවන් කියලා කියන්න පුළුවන්ද?
Try cutting back on salt when cooking, avoid processed and takeaway foods, and add a short daily walk if your knees allow it.
සති හතරකින් ආයෙත් එන්න ඕනද? මම ඒ දවසේ නිවාඩුවක් ගන්න ඕනද කියලා දැනගන්න ඕන.
Let's book a review in four weeks; if your readings haven't settled by then, I'll refer you promptly to Bendigo Health's cardiology clinic.
බොහොම ස්තුතියි වෛද්යතුමා. මම දිනපතා පීඩනය මනිනවා, ලුණු අඩු කරනවා, සති හතරෙන් ආයෙත් එන්නම්.
