I'm really concerned about the medication I've been on for the past 7 years, Amodep AT. My doctor mentioned it might have some side effects and suggested switching to TelemiKind 40. I'm a bit worried and want to know if it's safe to make this change. Can you help me understand if there are any risks or things I should watch out for with TelemiKind 40?

After recovering from COVID over a month ago, I've noticed my blood pressure has been consistently high, ranging between 145-165. I've been really disciplined with my diet and make sure to walk twice a day for 30 to 40 minutes. Is this high BP normal for someone in my situation, or could there be something else going on health-wise? What do you think?

After recovering from COVID-19, it is not uncommon for some patients to experience fluctuations in their blood pressure. In your case, with a consistently elevated blood pressure ranging between 145-165, it is important to monitor this closely. Since you are following a strict diet and exercise routine, there may be an underlying issue causing this spike. Considering your history of high blood pressure, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try incorporating medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Additionally, continue with your healthy lifestyle habits and monitor your blood pressure regularly.

I've been having a blood pressure reading of 15090 for the past few days, and I'm taking diltiazem 60 mg three times a day. Im a bit worried and wondering what I should do next. Any advice?

Your blood pressure of 15090 is still elevated despite taking Diltiazem 60mg three times a day. I would recommend adding an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. You can consider adding Amlodipine 5mg once daily to further lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
