I'm a 57-year-old man and I've just been diagnosed with high blood pressure. My doctor has prescribed telmisartan 40mg once daily. I'm wondering how long it might take for my blood pressure to get back to normal levels. Should I be concerned if there aren't any immediate changes?

View allI've been noticing this fluttering feeling under my left breast and I'm not sure if it's my heart or something with my stomach. On top of that, I keep feeling hot and cold at the same time, and my feet are freezing, even with socks on.

I've been experiencing these heart palpitations and it's really concerning me. My heart also feels painful and I'm feeling quite shaky and weak. Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?
Sir, the treatment for palpitations and chest pain due to weakness can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, for symptomatic relief, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Tab Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with chest pain. It is important to stay hydrated, rest, and avoid caffeine and stress. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure readings over the past two days. They've been around 10476, 11076, 10583, and 10366. This started after I switched my medication from Metoprolol 50 mg to Tazloc CT 406.25 about 10 days ago. Are these readings considered low? Could you please tell me what would be considered low blood pressure?
The blood pressure readings you have provided are within the normal range. Low blood pressure is typically considered to be a systolic pressure less than 90 mmHg and a diastolic pressure less than 60 mmHg. Since your readings are consistently above these values, your blood pressure is not considered low. Regarding the medication change from metoprolol to tazloc CT-406.25, it seems to be working well for you as your blood pressure readings are within the normal range. Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you have any concerns
