I'm really struggling to manage my high blood pressure and I'm feeling worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. Right now, I'm taking Amlopres AT 25 in the morning and plain Amlodipine 2.5 in the evening, but I just don't feel fresh and there's this persistent pain in my ankle. I did try switching to Metaprolol, but it only made my BP and heart rate go up. I also attempted using Telmesartan with Amlodipine, which controlled my BP, but then my heart rate increased. I'm feeling stuck and a bit lost about what to do next. My lipid profile is under control with cholesterol at 150 and triglycerides at 76, and my fasting blood sugar is 106. Could you suggest a better medication plan or any other advice?

Question

I'm wondering if it's normal for my heart rate to go up after I drink alcohol. Is there a medical reason for this, or should I be concerned about it? Can you explain what's going on?

I'm a 44-year-old male and I just went through a health check-up with a pretty comprehensive package. Most of my results like the CBC, kidney function, lung X-ray, ESR, creatinine, blood urea, liver function, plasma glucose, HbA1c, hormone levels, thyroid assay, and urine routine came back normal. But I'm a bit concerned because my lipid profile and ECG came back with some differences, and two values in the lipid profile were highlighted in bold. I'm attaching those reports here. Could you let me know if there's anything I should be worried about or if everything's alright? What steps should I take next? Your help would be really appreciated.

I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?
