    Would you expect to be contacted by your GP when you have a blood pressure of 147/87 - averaged over 7days?
    And are already taking blood pressure tablets!
    Mine doesn't appear interested!! 
    Make an appointment with your GP or practice nurse and explain it’s to discuss your blood pressure and ask if your medication needs adjusting if you are concerned. 
    I will do tomorrow

    Yes but I don't know whether I can put up with the pain for another 3 weeks!
    Also, if my rotator cuff is torn - the damage caused could be permanent 
    It'd down to COVID, I guess

    If its that bad ring 111 or go to a&e 

    Seeing gp won't get rid of the pain apart from painkillers and they will prob refer you to hospital anyway so maybe worth starting the ball rolling yourself
