I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've been on high BP medicine, Telma 40, for about 2 years. Whenever I lie down, especially on my left side, I can really feel my heartbeat. It's like it's beating outside my chest, and it's making it hard for me to sleep. I've had an ECG and a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and both came back normal. Can you help me understand why this is happening and what I can do about it?

View allI've been dealing with palpitations and high blood pressure diagnosed at 140 over 90 around four months ago. They did an ECG and ECHO, and those came back normal. I was prescribed Telma 20 and Ivabradine 5mg for the BP and palpitations. I recently stopped taking Telma 20 for a few days to keep an eye on my BP, and it settled at a constant 130 over 76. Do you think I should stop taking the BP meds altogether, or is it better to keep going with them? I've also made some lifestyle and diet changes. What do you suggest?

I'm concerned about my blood pressure, which is reading quite high at 150100. The thing is, I don't really feel stressed or have any other symptoms like dizziness or weakness. I've always had a pretty sedentary lifestyle, but I've started going for morning walks. Do you think that could help bring my BP down to a normal level?
It's good that you have started morning walks to improve your lifestyle. Along with regular exercise, it's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In addition to physical activity, you can also consider incorporating a low-sodium diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure remains high, your doctor may recommend medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower it. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure effectively.
