Question

I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

Question

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?
