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?

I'm dealing with mild concentric LVH and my LVEF is at 65. I also have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and mild to moderate MR, with an RVSP of 44 mm Hg. I find myself experiencing chest pain occasionally. What should I do about this, and is there something specific I should be concerned about?
Based on your condition, it is important to manage your chest pain and address the underlying heart issues. You may benefit from medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5-20mg once daily to help with your heart function and blood pressure control. Additionally, a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25-100mg once or twice daily can also be prescribed to improve heart function and reduce chest pain. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly for monitoring and further management.
