Today, I told my boyfriend the dentist said my blood pressure was high. He was more interested in the fact that the dentist took my blood pressure than my blood pressure being high. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my new dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He kept getting distracted, causing him to repeatedly stab me in the gums. He then had the nerve to tell me that I need to brush more, due to how I was bleeding just from his "routine examination". FML
Today, my doctor told me if my blood pressure gets any higher, he could use me to reinflate the air in his tyres. FML
Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I had diabetes. He won't talk to me anymore because he thinks I'll infect him with it. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. I got a new dentist who started out a conversation about school. She asked where I went to school and if I liked my principal. After I told her I thought he was full of himself, she said she was married to him. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend thinks I'm too high maintenance because I have a chronic illness which requires frequent hospitalization. FML
Today, I was at the dentist's. During my check-up, he recommended a dermatologist. FML
Today, I went to see my new dentist. He was really cute, so after the checkup I started flirting. He stopped me right after I asked him out, saying, "Being a dentist has its advantages, I can see the girl's mouth before I stick my tongue in it. And in your case, it's a big no." FML
Today, during a brutal two and half hour dental procedure, the dentist kept saying my gums were inflamed, and bleeding a lot. The clichéd "You need to floss more!" tirade. After she was done, my gums were purple, bruised, and had a visible cut on them. But sure, the bleeding was from me not flossing enough. FML

To be fair, its never happened to me or anyone I know, so I can relate to his shock.

Well I've never heard of a dentist who takes people's blood pressure either.

That's actually a good question. Why did your dentist take your blood pressure?

I'm right there with him. I've never heard of that from a dentist.

Hey guys, a dentist here! (Uk) We do have to check high blood pressure in case we give local anaesthetics containing adrenaline (increasing the blood pressure) which can cause quite a problem. Unless OP is on medicines which increase or decrease their blood pressure, and the dentist wanted to check... Or he was just curious? An abnormal blood pressure can indicate quite a lot, the more we know about the patients medical history the better.

That explains why they have been so anal since the heart attack. The beta blocker. Usually once I'm in the chair, I take a Xanax and it drops back to normal. Good to know. Never questioned it, I just went along with it. Not like they are copping a cheap feel off if my arm.

Maybe you have high blood pressure because you worry yourself out about stupid stuff like this and cry every little thing. Chill.

I've never had my dentist take my blood pressure. That's pretty weird.

blood pressure cannot be measured in one sitting. make sure you go to your regular doctor for bp. there are a lot of error sources when taken blood pressure like the gender of the person taking your bp (relative to yours), angle of your arm, sitting or standing, wheter or not youre in pain/bleeding (and considering you were at the dentist...) etc. dont trust your dentist on this.

Id be interested in that too, especially coming from a dentist
