I'm 22 and I've been dealing with some blood pressure issues. I was on propranolol, but it didn't seem to help much, so my doctor switched me to telmisartan and metoprolol. I'm a bit concerned about switching meds so quicklycan stopping one and starting another suddenly cause problems? Also, since I'm pretty young, are these medications going to have any negative effects on me? I think my BP might be more of a "white coat" issue than a constant problem. What do you think?

View allI've had a 2D echo and a stress test done, and both came back normal. Does this mean I'm in the clear from having a heart attack, or is there still a risk?

I recently did a master health check-up and found my LDL cholesterol is at 120. The ECG shows "sinus rhythm incomplete right bundle branch block." The doctor prescribed Arvast 10 mg and suggested I start walking. I noticed my MCV is at 54, lymphocytes at 45, ALT in the liver function test is 51, and serum urea is 15. Does everything look normal in the report, especially with the ECG?
may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. As for your medication, ARVAST 10 Mg is a common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, maintaining a regular walking routine as advised by your doctor can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health. Regarding your other test results, a MCV of 54 is within the normal range. A lymphocyte count of 45 is also within normal limits. An ALT level of 51 is slightly elevated, which may indicate some liver inflammation or damage. For this, you may consider taking medication to improve liver function.
