I'm a 40-year-old guy and I've been taking tablets since 2015. Originally, I was on Stamlo 5, but recently my blood pressure was consistently high around 140110 to 140100, even with the Stamlo 5. The doctor switched my medication to Envas 10 and Hydrazide 12.5, and now my blood pressure is under control. I'm just a bit worried about any side effects these might have. Could you give me some advice?

Envas 10 is a brand name for Enalapril, which is an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydrazide 12.5 is a combination medication containing Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that helps your body get rid of extra salt and water to lower blood pressure. Some common side effects of Enalapril include dizziness, cough, and high potassium levels. Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. It's important to monitor for any side effects and report them to your doctor. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your medication as needed.

View allI'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

Ive been dealing with this dizziness, nausea, and sometimes even fainting for about 23 days. I found out that my blood pressure is hanging around 95. Ive been trying to fix it with ORS and even started munching on raisins, but the dizziness still hangs around. Im totally confused about what I should be eating or doing to make this better. Any idea why this is happening or what else I can try? I really cant stand feeling like this all the time.
