I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've been dealing with anxiety for a few years now, which makes my hands sweat and sometimes I get chest pains that last for seconds or minutes. I've been on Gudpress AM 50 for the past six months, but it makes my face feel tight for about six hours after taking it. I stopped taking it two days ago, but my blood pressure has been around 150100 and 14090 in this time. Is there another blood pressure medication I can try? Before Gudpress AM 50, I was taking Cinod 10. Any advice would be great.

It sounds like you are experiencing side effects from Gudpress AM 50 (which contains Telmisartan and Amlodipine) such as tightness on your face. Since you are also dealing with anxiety symptoms and high blood pressure, you can consider switching to a different medication for your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a different medication such as Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) at a suitable dosage to help manage your blood pressure without causing unwanted side effects. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that can be effective in treating high blood pressure and has a lower risk of causing facial tightness compared to Amlodipine. Remember to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription adjustment based on your individual health needs.

View allCan I take ursolic 300 along with roseday gold 10 and teli cm 25? Is it safe to use all these medicines together? I'm a little worried about possible interactions or side effects. What do you think?
When considering taking Ursolic 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) along with Roseday Gold 10 (a combination of rosuvastatin, aspirin, and clopidogrel) and Teli CM 25 (a combination of telmisartan and chlorthalidone), it is important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness. These medications have different mechanisms of action and can interact in various ways. While Ursolic 300 is used for liver-related issues, Roseday Gold addresses cardiovascular risk factors, and Teli CM is used for hypertension. Your doctor will need to consider your overall health, liver and kidney function, and any potential interactions or side effects. Therefore, always consult with your healthcare provider before combining these medications to ensure they are safe for your specific health conditions

I've got some concerns about my cholesterol and liver enzyme levels. My total cholesterol is at 254 and LDL is 166. On top of that, my SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 120. My doctor is recommending statins, but I'm wondering if that's really necessary? Could I just stick to a healthy diet instead? Would love another perspective on this.
Yes you have to take statins and also follow healthy diet for better results,follow your doctors advice
