View allI'm a bit confused about the change in my medication. I was originally prescribed Ciplar LA 20, but now they've switched me to Ciplar 10, twice daily. Is this switch okay, and how much time should I leave between each dose?

I've noticed that my blood pressure has gone up a couple of times in the last month after eating salty foods, though most days it's normal even if I've had salt. I'm overweight by around 12-14 kgs, and I'm curious if that's contributing to this issue. Like yesterday, after having salty tea, I got a bad headache at the back of my head, and when I checked my BP with our home digital machine, it read 14090. I drank some water, and it seemed to go back to normal. I'm wondering, how accurate are those home BP machines anyway? My lifestyle is pretty sedentary because of my online work. I talked to a doctor, and he said it's not the right time to start BP medications. What do you suggest?

I'm experiencing a heaviness in the middle of my chest and sometimes there's a mild pain that moves from the left side to the center. There aren't any other symptoms, but it's got me a bit worried. Do you think this is something serious or just something minor? What should I do about this?
