I'm currently taking medication for my blood pressure, but my last reading was 14583. Should I think about adjusting my dose, or is this level considered controlled? Can you provide some guidance on what I should do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A blood pressure reading of 14583 is slightly elevated. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if your doctor agrees, you may need to increase the dose of your current medication or add an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance on medication adjustments.

Is it possible to treat heart blockage just with medications and lifestyle changes without needing surgery or angioplasty I'm worried because I've heard mixed opinions and want to know if avoiding procedures is a safe option for managing it

I'm wondering if Preva and Ecosprin AV are actually the same thing or if they're different medications. I'm also a bit concerned about the side effects. Does one have more side effects than the other? Could you help me understand this better?
Both Preva and Ecosprin AV are different medications with different active ingredients and mechanisms of action. Preva contains the active ingredient Clopidogrel, while Ecosprin AV contains a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin. In terms of side effects, both medications can cause side effects, but the specific side effects and their likelihood can vary from person to person. Common side effects of Clopidogrel (Preva) include bleeding, bruising, and stomach upset. On the other hand, common side effects of Aspirin and Atorvastatin (Ecosprin AV) include stomach upset, muscle pain, and liver enzyme abnormalities. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine which medication is more suitable for you based on your individual medical history and risk factors.
