I recently got my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried. They showed that I have high blood pressure and elevated liver enzymes, with my SGPT at 57 UL and SGOT at 50 UL. My doctor prescribed Atoris for the blood pressure, but I heard it might not be good for people with high SGPT and SGOT levels. Could you let me know if that's true and what I should do?

View allI'm 24 and have been doing endurance training for the last four years. Recently, I found out I have a mitral prolapse after visiting a cardiologist because of an irregular pulse. The doctor said my heart rate is normal based on the Holter Monitoring Test and told me to avoid heavy activities but didn't prescribe any meds. I've been asked to do a 2D Echo test yearly. Given my background in fitness, I'm curious if it's okay for me to keep up with moderate levels of running and cycling. What do you think?
It is important to follow the advice of your cardiologist to avoid putting strain on your heart. However, you can continue with moderate levels of Running and Cycling. To support your heart health, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the strain on your heart during physical activities. Remember to have regular follow-ups with your cardiologist and monitor your heart health closely.

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.
