I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

View allI'm really feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure. For the past two weeks, it's been extremely high, like in the Hypertensive Crisis range, reaching 190130 or 180120, even though I'm taking Telma CT 40. My test results, like the Echo, LFT, and KFT, are all normal. Why is my blood pressure still so high? What could be causing this?
It's concerning that your blood pressure remains high despite taking Telma CT 40. Since your test reports are normal, the high blood pressure may be due to uncontrolled hypertension or other underlying factors. In this situation, adding Amlodipine 5mg along with Telma CT 40 can help in better control of blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management can also play a crucial role in managing hypertension. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential.

I'm dealing with some chest congestion and mild pain, and my doctor has put me on Rosuvas for high cholesterol and Metaprolol for blood pressure. They've also prescribed Myospaz for the pain if I need it. Is it safe to take Myospaz alongside Metaprolol and Rosuvas?
Yes, you can take myospaz along with metaprolol and Rosuvas. Myospaz contains paracetamol and dicyclomine which can help relieve pain and discomfort. The usual dosage for myospaz is 1-2 tablets every 6-8 hours as needed for pain. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and frequency as advised by your doctor.
