I've been having some concerns after a medical camp at my office where my BP was checked. The first reading was 120180 and the second was 110170. The doctor suggested I take Lasix for a day and then start on Telma 40 mg for 10 days. I've just started the medication yesterday. Over the past week, I've reduced my salt intake and started doing yoga. Before starting the medication, my BP readings were 110150, 105145, 110150, and 115155. Yesterday I took Lasix at 3 pm and today 1 tablet of Telma 40 mg at 8 am. My BP reading at 7:30 pm today was 14090. I'm feeling a bit different after the meds and am wondering if they're too strong or just right. What do you think is happening?

It seems like your blood pressure is gradually stabilizing, which is a positive sign, but a reading of 14090 is still on the higher side. It's normal to feel a bit different when starting medication, but if you're concerned or feel any discomfort, its important to check in with your doctor to ensure the dosage is appropriate for you.

My pulse oximeter is showing a pulse rate of 100, could this be related to my blood pressure? I'm feeling a bit tense about it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and I'm taking my meds like met xl and CTD 6.25 regularly. My weight is fine at 51 kg and I haven't had any heart issues, but I'm really into the idea of starting to run in the mornings. Is it safe for me to do that with my high BP?

Question

So, my mom was diagnosed with 80% stenosis in the mid RCA and there's also a 50% instent restenosis in the distal RCA, where she had a stent put in back in 2010. We're a bit confused because one doctor is suggesting she should go through angioplasty again for both areas, while another doctor thinks it's not necessary. This is pretty stressful, and I really want to make the right decision. Could you explain what the typical approach is for handling instent restenosis and how serious this situation looks?
