I'm currently taking telmisat 40 mg and ctd 6.25 along with amlosafe 5mg as you suggested. My blood pressure was initially 15097, and while the upper number has dropped to 130, the lower part is still around 100. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

it seems like your systolic blood pressure has improved from 150 to 130 but the diastolic blood pressure is still elevated around 97. To further manage your blood pressure, I recommend adding a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg to your current regimen. This will help lower your diastolic blood pressure effectively. Please consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication."

View allI've been noticing these splinter hemorrhages under my fingernails again, and it's making me worried. I had endocarditis when I was 16 and needed antibiotics through a pic line and heart surgery for mitral valve repair when I turned 18. I'm 23 now and these hemorrhages keep showing up just like before. I'm really concerned it could be related to my past condition. What do you think I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent splinter hemorrhages, which can be a concerning sign given your history of endocarditis and heart surgery. To address this issue, I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to evaluate the possibility of endocarditis recurrence or any other underlying causes. In the meantime, you can consider taking antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg twice daily for a week to prevent any potential infection from worsening. Additionally, maintaining good nail hygiene and avoiding trauma to the nails can help prevent further splinter hemorrhages.

I'm taking Eliquis 5mg twice daily since I had a pulmonary thrombosis embolism a while back. I'm doing well now, but my doctor advised me to stay on it for life. I'm really curious about what the long-term side effects could be with this medication because I'd want to adjust my diet and lifestyle accordingly. Can you share some insights?
Eliquis (Apixaban) is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant used for preventing blood clots. Some potential side effects of Eliquis in the long run may include an increased risk of bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bruising, or prolonged bleeding from cuts. It is important to be cautious when participating in activities that may increase the risk of injury. Additionally, some individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues like stomach pain or indigestion. To minimize the risk of side effects while taking Eliquis, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and staying hydrated. It is also important to inform any healthcare providers about your Eliquis use before undergoing any medical procedures or surgeries to prevent excessive bleeding.
