I'm 42 and my doctor just recently told me I have high blood pressure, so I've been taking TetanH and it's helped to get it under control. I'm thinking about trying intermittent fasting because I've heard it might help with lowering blood pressure too. Do you think that's a good idea for me? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects from using TetanH over a long period. Can you give me some advice on this?

It's great to hear that your blood pressure is now under control with Tetan-H. Intermittent fasting can potentially help lower blood pressure, but it's essential to approach it cautiously, especially when you're on medication. Before starting any new diet regimen, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's safe given your specific health condition.
Regarding Tetan-H, which contains telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, it can have some long-term side effects like any medication. These may include dizziness, increased uric acid levels, or kidney function changes. Close monitoring by your doctor can help manage any potential side effects.

View allI'm trying to figure out if there's a way to tell the difference between a cough that's from an infection and one that's because of fluid in the lungs. At first, my doctor gave me antibiotics and cough syrup, but they didn't help my cough. Then, when my coughing got really bad, I saw another doctor who gave me Lasix, and that actually worked right away. So, is there a way to know if a cough is more likely from fluid in the lungs rather than an infection? It would really help to understand if there's a distinct difference so I can feel more sure about what's causing my cough.

I'm feeling a strange sensation in my left arm for the past couple of days. Its not painful, just odd, and my blood pressure is around 13080. I'm a bit concerned if this could be related to some heart issues. Could this be something serious? What should I look out for?

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results that show IRBBB, but my 2D echo came back normal. I don't have any family history of heart disease, so I'm wondering if my heart's in good shape. Is it okay for me to hit the gym regularly? I already walk more than 10,000 steps a day and jog for about 5 minutes.
based on your description of having an Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) on ECG but a normal 2D echo and no family history of heart disease, it is likely that your heart is healthy and normal. IRBBB itself may not necessarily indicate a heart abnormality, especially if the 2D echo is normal. You can continue with your daily activities like walking more than 10K steps and 5 minutes of jogging. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness during exercise, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. As a precautionary measure, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
