I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

View allI'm really worried about my husband's blood pressure. He's been taking amlopidine 5mg, but his BP was still 149110. The doctor suggested adding telmac 40mg, and now his BP is around 12185 and 11775. He's not feeling well, though. I'm thinking maybe 40mg is too much for him. Could I try giving him half the dose of telmac instead?
It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Telmisartan without consulting your doctor. Telmisartan 40mg is a standard starting dose for hypertension, and it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. If your husband is not feeling well, it is best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some serious chest pain for the last five months, and along with that, I've been feeling really weak and fatigued. My stamina has dropped a lot, and I get tired super quickly. On top of that, my heart races really fast. My resting heart rate is usually around 80 to 90, but if I start walking, it shoots up to 120, and just climbing two floors slowly takes it to around 160. Is this something to worry about? I had an ECG done, and it came back normal, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any insights on this would be really helpful.
Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my 19-year-old daughter's ECG results. The report mentions things like 802 Sinus Tachycardia and 611 T Abnormality Flat T. I'm not sure what all this means and if there's anything serious that we should be concerned about. Could you help me understand if these findings indicate any major health issues? I'm feeling quite anxious and would appreciate any insights you could offer.
