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.

I've been feeling really off lately. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe properly, and I start sweating. I checked my blood pressure and pulse, and they seem normalBP was 12070, and pulse rate was 73. But for the past few nights especially, my heart feels like it's racing. I go to the gym regularly, I don't smoke, but my job at an MNC is pretty stressful. Could stress be causing this, or should I be worried about something else?
