To the original poster, did your new doctor ask in the many forms you signed for a release of medical records from your previous doctor. If so, there may well have been no need for any lab work at your visit. If you have been followed in the past with a steady and acceptable response to your medications it is reasonable to continue on them while awaiting your old records and not order lab work that is not going to change management and is mearly costly and duplicative. The doctor already knew if the BP meds were working as they checked it.
