I'm really concerned about my mom's blood pressure. It's been over 160 for the last couple of weeks. She's currently taking Telma 40 and Cilacar 10, but it doesn't seem to help. Before she switched meds, she was on Amlogard 5 mg and Metosartan 50, but her doctor stopped those since she has ILD Lungs Disease. What should we do next?

Hi, based on your mother's condition of high blood pressure and ILD, it seems like her current medication regimen may not be effectively controlling her blood pressure. I would recommend consulting with her physician to discuss adjusting her medication. In addition to Telma 40 and Cilacar 10, her doctor may consider adding a medication like Amlodipine 5 mg (brand name: Amlogard) or Metoprolol 50 mg (brand name: Metosartan) to help lower her blood pressure. It's important to closely monitor her blood pressure and make any necessary changes under the guidance of her healthcare provider.

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?
