I'm a 19-year-old guy dealing with high blood pressure issues. My doctor suggested I take Bengreat 4 tablets, and I'm honestly a bit worried about my health. I'm also obese, weighing 105 kg, and I'm unsure if I should start taking these tablets. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe or if there's anything else I should consider?

Bengreat 4 is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure. It contains a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Telmisartan 40mg. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as prescribed. The usual dosage for Bengreat 4 is 1 tablet once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking this medication. Additionally, since you mentioned being obese, it is also important to work on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I did ECG, echo, TMT, and a CT angiography back in November 2021, and everything turned out normal back then. But now I'm dealing with chest pain again from time to time, and I've got some acidity issues too. I'm wondering, is it necessary for me to repeat those tests? If so, how long should I wait before doing them again?
In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain again along with acidity issues, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation. The doctor may recommend medications to manage your acidity and chest pain symptoms. For acidity, you can take antacids like Omeprazole 20mg once a day before breakfast. For chest pain, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up with your doctor may be necessary for a reassessment.
