I'm feeling really stressed because I couldn't sleep last night and today I found out my blood pressure is 150100. I'm currently taking Metosortan 50 every day, and it usually keeps my BP in check. Can you recommend something to lower my blood pressure and help me get a good night's sleep?

It seems like you are experiencing elevated blood pressure and difficulty sleeping. To help lower your blood pressure and improve your sleep, I recommend adding a medication like Amlodipine 5mg to further control your blood pressure. Additionally, you can consider taking a medication like Zolpidem 5mg to help with your sleep. However, please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm curious about when to take Ecosprin AV75. I've heard it might be better to take it at night before bed, but can it be taken in the morning as well? Is there a significant difference, or does one time work better than the other? I'd love some guidance on this.

it is necessary to take the tablet at bedtime only.

my dad has an 80% heart block should we consider open heart surgery or is medication enough to manage it

80% heart block usually requires stenting or bypass surgery, depending on angiography results. Medicines alone may not be enough.

I've been on Telmasartan 40 mg for 4 days now, and ever since, I've felt super tired and just too weak to do anything. My stomachs been feeling a bit bloated too. I've had high blood pressure and pulse for a while, like for over a year now, but Ive only been on medication for about 12 months. I'm starting to wonder if my body and heart got so used to the high blood pressure that they cant handle what's supposed to be normal. Should I stop the meds and just let my body deal with the high blood pressure, or should I stick with Telma and try to manage these side effects?

u have to continue bp medications , u cannot stop the bp medications .Salt restricted diet is advised .
