I'm a bit worried about changing my medication. I used to take Prolomet, and my doctor just switched me to Telma 40 in the morning and Prolomet 25 at night. I'm supposed to stop Prolomet completely after a week and just keep taking Telma. Could this sudden change or stopping Prolomet in the morning cause any issues or symptoms?
Changing from Prolomet to Telma 40 in the morning and Prolomet 25 at night, followed by stopping Prolomet and continuing with Telma alone, should not cause any issues if done under the supervision of a doctor. Telma (Telmisartan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps in lowering blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and timing. The transition from one medication to another is commonly done to optimize treatment and minimize side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms during this transition, such as dizziness, weakness, or changes in heart rate, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing this off-and-on chest tightness and shortness of breath for several years now. It's like I can't catch my breath sometimes, and I have to take deep breaths to feel okay. I don't have any medical history, and Im not on any meds. I saw a couple of doctors, and they said it might be panic attacks. My ECG came back normal, but it seems to get worse when I lie down. Occasionally, I feel like I need to yawn to fully catch my breath. Could you help me understand what's going on?
