I'm currently on metapro xl 50 mg and telmasartan 40 mg for about a month now because I've been dealing with spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia. My doctor ruled out any secondary causes. I'm only 20 and I'm worried if I'm going to be on these medications for the rest of my life. They've helped me feel better and my heart feels calmer, but my doctor mentioned that if I dont continue, my heart might get damaged over time. Could you provide some advice on this?

It's good to hear that you are feeling better with the medications. Since you are experiencing spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia, it is important to manage these conditions to prevent any potential damage to your heart in the long term. Both Metapro XL (Metoprolol) 50 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg are commonly used to control blood pressure and heart rate. It is possible that you may need to take these medications long-term to keep your condition under control and protect your heart health. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice and continue taking the medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, make sure to discuss them with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm 29 and feeling anxious about the possibility of having a heart attack. My blood pressure and blood sugar levels are normal, my TSH is normal too, I have no bad habits, and I weigh 55 kg. Is it still possible for me to have a heart attack?
It is uncommon for someone with your profile to have a heart attack at such a young age. However, there are other factors that can contribute to heart attacks, such as family history, cholesterol levels, and overall lifestyle. It is important to continue monitoring your health and consider regular check-ups with your doctor to assess your overall cardiovascular risk.

I'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

I'm 22 years old and my blood pressure is 160100. I know I'm obese, could that be causing the high BP? I'm trying to lose weight now.
your obesity is likely contributing to your high blood pressure (HBP), as excess weight can increase blood vessel resistance, cardiac output, and sodium retention; losing weight through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help lower your BP, aim for a 5-10% weight loss to start
