I'm a bit worried about changing my medication. I used to take Prolomet, and my doctor just switched me to Telma 40 in the morning and Prolomet 25 at night. I'm supposed to stop Prolomet completely after a week and just keep taking Telma. Could this sudden change or stopping Prolomet in the morning cause any issues or symptoms?

Changing from Prolomet to Telma 40 in the morning and Prolomet 25 at night, followed by stopping Prolomet and continuing with Telma alone, should not cause any issues if done under the supervision of a doctor. Telma (Telmisartan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps in lowering blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and timing. The transition from one medication to another is commonly done to optimize treatment and minimize side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms during this transition, such as dizziness, weakness, or changes in heart rate, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

View allI'm really worried because I fainted like 45 times yesterday while I was with my boyfriend. It all started when I suddenly passed out while hugging and kissing him. He managed to wake me up each time and even gave me some chocolate to eat, but I kept fainting again after a few minutes. The whole time, he was holding me and trying to calm me down. I hadn't eaten anything since last night, except for a cup of milk then and another one this morning. Could this be because I didn't eat enough, or is it something more serious?
You experienced repeated fainting spells (syncope) while hugging and kissing your boyfriend. Possible causes: Medical Conditions 1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Lack of food intake, especially after milk consumption. 2. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake. 3. Anxiety or stress: Emotional distress. 4. Cardiovascular issues: Rare, but possible

I'm a 30-year-old male and I've been having some trouble with my BP medication. About a year ago, my blood pressure spiked to 175120 and my doctor prescribed Telma 40 along with another medicine for a week. Over time, I stopped taking Telma 40 and hadn't used it for the last 3 months. Recently, I switched to Prolomet XL 25, but it doesn't seem to suit me. What should I do?
It seems like you are experiencing some difficulties with Prolomet XL 25. Since Telma 40 worked well for you in managing your blood pressure, I would recommend you to consult your doctor for a prescription of Telma 40 again. Additionally, you can also consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg to your current medication regimen to help control your blood pressure more effectively. Remember to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications.

I'm a bit concerned about what my recent echo showed. It mentioned something called Grade I diastolic dysfunction. Is this something normal that I shouldn't worry about or do I need to consider any treatment? Would really appreciate some guidance.
