For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

Question

I'm taking 40 mg of Inderal daily since August 2019, but I switched to 20 mg last month. My pulse seems okay now. I also have thyroid issues, but they're under control at the moment. Could you guide me on how to safely stop taking Inderal?

Question

I'm having some discomfort in my chest when I masturbate, especially in the middle and left side. It doesn't hurt a lot, just a little, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it might be because I was overweight, so I lost some weight and now I'm down to 67 kg, but the pain is still there. I even tried stopping for a month, thinking it was because I was doing it too often, like 3-4 times a week, but the pain came back when I started again. I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to my friends or family about this, but is there something else that could be causing it?

Question

I'm currently on metapro xl 50 mg and telmasartan 40 mg for about a month now because I've been dealing with spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia. My doctor ruled out any secondary causes. I'm only 20 and I'm worried if I'm going to be on these medications for the rest of my life. They've helped me feel better and my heart feels calmer, but my doctor mentioned that if I dont continue, my heart might get damaged over time. Could you provide some advice on this?
