I'm 25 and I've been experiencing some strange symptoms after meals. My heart feels like it's racing, and my ears get really hot. When I checked my blood pressure, it was around 170100. Do you know what might be causing this and what steps I should take?

This could be a sign of uncontrolled hypertension. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my blood pressureit seems to be all over the place. Sometimes its normal, but other times it spikes. Im trying to understand what my true blood pressure level is. How can I get an accurate diagnosis for this?
To diagnose the correct exact blood pressure level, you can monitor your blood pressure regularly at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. Make sure to follow these steps: 1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure. 2. Place the cuff on your bare upper arm at heart level. 3. Take two or three readings, 1 minute apart, in the morning before taking any medications and in the evening before dinner. 4. Record the date, time, and blood pressure readings. 5. Share this record with your doctor for proper evaluation and management. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate, your doctor may recommend further evaluation or prescribe antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine (Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure.

I've been taking Tazloc Beta 25 for the last four years because of my high blood pressure and concentric LVH. Lately, I've been feeling dizzy all the time, dealing with weakness, having some erection issues, and frequently experiencing stomach upsets and indigestion. I'm really concerned and would love some guidance on how I can safely stop this medication without any side effects. Or if there are any alternative meds you might recommend?
It's essential to manage your blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) effectively, but experiencing side effects like dizziness, weakness, erectile dysfunction, and digestive issues is concerning. Tazloc Beta 25 combines telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and metoprolol (a beta-blocker). Stopping or changing this medication should only be done under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Here are steps to consider: 1. Consult your doctor: Schedule an appointment to discuss your side effects and the possibility of changing your medication. 2. Gradual adjustment: Your doctor may suggest a gradual reduction in dosage to minimize withdrawal symptoms and avoid a sudden increase in blood pressure. 3. Alternative medications: Your doctor may consider other classes of antihypertensive drugs, such as ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril), calcium channel blockers (e.g., amlodipine), or diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide), which might have different side effect profiles. It's crucial that any changes to your medication regimen are made under medical supervision to ensure your blood pressure remains controlled and to monitor for any potential side effects.
