I'm currently taking Nikoran 5, and I've been having headaches and body aches since starting it. I'm a bit worried and curious about what this medication is actually for. Is there an alternative I could try to avoid these side effects?

I'm taking Concor 2.5mg because my heart rate was pretty high, like around 100. After starting it yesterday, my heart rate has dropped into the 60s and 70s. I've been told to take this tablet every day for a month, but I'm concerned if my heart rate could get too low if I keep using it. What do you think? Should I continue taking it daily, or could it cause issues?

My mom's blood pressure was 130200 even though she's been taking her Zilarata medication. One doctor gave her half a medication, and then she relaxed, and her BP went down to 100145. But now it's at 120180. Do you think it's okay if I give her a BP win tablet?
