I'm a 37-year-old guy weighing around 60 kg and I've been on enalapril 5 and met xl 12.5 tablets for my hypertension for the last six months. Recently, during a pre-employment medical checkup, I noticed that the RBC count and size in my blood report were highlighted as concerning by the doctor, but they didn't suggest any treatment. My family doctor is back in Kolkata while I'm currently in Oman. What should I do about this? Should I keep taking my meds as usual, or do I need to consider any other treatment or actions?

It's important to address the abnormal RBC count and size in your blood report. Since your family physician is not readily available, I recommend consulting with a local physician in Oman to further investigate the cause of the abnormal RBC findings. It's important to determine the underlying reason for this abnormality before making any changes to your current medication regimen. However, in the meantime, you can continue taking enalapril 5 and met xl 12.5 as prescribed for your hypertension. These medications help in managing high blood pressure effectively. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
