I'm currently on Telpres MT 50mg for my blood pressure, and I'm wondering if it's alright to take it after dinner or just before bed. Does the timing affect how well the medication works? I'm a bit concerned about whether taking it at night might cause any issues or side effects while I'm sleeping. What do you think would be the best time to take it?

It is recommended to take Telpres MT 50mg once daily in the morning, preferably at the same time each day. This helps to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your body and optimize its effectiveness in controlling blood pressure.

I've been on high BP meds for about seven years. Initially, my BP was around 140100, and my doctor put me on olmetrack 20, but it didn't do much. After 2-3 years, they added nebicard 2.5 to the olmetrack, which helped, but my BP was still around 14095 or 13590 without any diet changes or exercise. Now, for the past month, I've started dieting and taking walks, and my BP has dropped to about 12075 to 11067. I'm wondering if this improvement is because of my lifestyle change. Do I still need both meds, or should I try stopping one to see how it affects my BP?

continue both the medications..

I'm really worried about my mom. During her regular health checkup, they said she has a mildly positive TMT for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a max METS level of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 to a max of 164. Her blood pressure changed from 12078 to a max of 15090. They also found she has dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol of 216, HDL at 71, and LDL at 132. They advised her to take atorva and Ecospirin and to repeat the TMT after 6 months. I'm curious, is this something really serious? And does the medication usually help? Whats the next line of action after this?
