I'm really struggling to manage my high blood pressure and I'm feeling worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. Right now, I'm taking Amlopres AT 25 in the morning and plain Amlodipine 2.5 in the evening, but I just don't feel fresh and there's this persistent pain in my ankle. I did try switching to Metaprolol, but it only made my BP and heart rate go up. I also attempted using Telmesartan with Amlodipine, which controlled my BP, but then my heart rate increased. I'm feeling stuck and a bit lost about what to do next. My lipid profile is under control with cholesterol at 150 and triglycerides at 76, and my fasting blood sugar is 106. Could you suggest a better medication plan or any other advice?

I'm a bit worried and curious if taking too much blood pressure medication might cause an abnormal EKG. Could there be something else causing this, or is it really the medication?
yes. Stress and exercises are other factors.

I'm really curious and a bit worried about how long someone with RHD can live when they're on penicillin treatment. I started taking Penidure injections when I was just 10 years old and I'm still on them. I was wondering if it's okay to switch to Pentides tablets instead. Also, do people with RHD tend to have a lot of issues after getting married?
RHD patients can survive with treatment with penicillin for a long time, often throughout their lifetime to prevent complications such as rheumatic fever. - The duration of penicillin treatment varies depending on the individual's condition, but it is commonly recommended to be taken continuously to prevent recurrent infections. - Penidure injection is a common form of penicillin used for RHD treatment. As a substitute, Pentides tablets can be taken. The usual dosage of Pentides tablets for RHD treatment is 300 mg once a month. - RHD patients may face complications after marriage if they do not continue with their penicillin prophylaxis, as the risk of recurrent rheumatic fever increases with inadequate treatment. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are important to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
