Am I The Only One????????????

Am I the only one who feel that when you call the on call midwife or doctor that they gives you a general answer,  rather than a answer tailored to you. I called the on call midwife due to my headache and upper stomach pain. I am high risk due to my high blood pressure but for my headache she told me I could take Excedrin Tension which has caffeine in it and which increases my blood pressure. Now I haven't taken it because of this but I'm annoyed because I feel instead of them pulling your file they give you general information when everything isn't for everyone.  I have an appointment on Wednesday so I plan to let them know how I feel. Sorry for the long post.

No that was NOT right! The only thing pregnant women can have is Tylenol. That's it, and nothing around it! Cpt Faith
