I'm a 30-year-old male and last night, I suddenly experienced a spike in my blood pressure and heart rate. I was feeling restless for about 2-3 hours, and my blood pressure even hit 16090 with my heart rate jumping between 95-120 BPM. Even now, my heart rate feels a bit on the higher side, around 90-100 BPM. I'm using a mobile app to monitor these, so I'm not entirely sure how accurate they are. Also, I've got a mild issue with kidney stones, specifically oxylate stones, and they give me some abdominal pain even though nothing showed up on the ultrasound. Should I be worried about these symptoms, or do you think they're related to my kidney stones?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a panic attack, which can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate. However, given your history of kidney stones and abdominal pain, it's important to monitor your symptoms closely. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in reducing anxiety levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan, especially considering your history of kidney stones. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in your case.

View allI've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it was reading 14496 when I saw a doctor. He told me to take Telma 20 for six weeks, which I did, but now I can't get back to see him. This morning, my BP was 13496. What should I do next? Do I need to keep taking the medication or make any changes?
Since you have been taking Telma 20 (Telmisartan 20mg), continue to take it as prescribed by your physician. In addition, you can also focus on lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If you experience any side effects or have concerns, it's important to follow up with your physician for further guidance.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been on amlopres 5 for his blood pressure for about four years, and it's been normal for a while now. Do you think it's okay for him to stop taking it? Also, he's been taking tonac 5 for his cholesterol, which is at the borderline. Does he need to take that every day? Could you please advise?

I'm 60 years old and dealing with severe hypertension along with diabetes. I recently did a treadmill test following the Bruce protocol, and I could exercise for about 7 minutes and 16 seconds. I reached a maximum heart rate that was 91% of whats expected for my age. They noted 1mm ST segment depression in the inferiolateral leads, and I'm a bit concerned. Maximum workload achieved was 13.50 METs. Could you help me understand what these results mean? Should I be worried about the ST segment depression?
Based on your TMT report showing 1mm ST segment depression, you may be experiencing myocardial ischemia. To manage your Severe Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus, as well as reduce the risk of further cardiac events, I recommend starting with antiplatelet therapy such as Aspirin 75mg daily to prevent blood clot formation. Additionally, a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can help reduce your heart rate and blood pressure, thereby decreasing the workload on your heart. Lastly, a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily can be beneficial in lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis progression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
