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 really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal T wave, and now they've told me to see a cardiologist. I'm not sure how serious this is. Should I be worried, and what should my next steps be?

In ECG, an abnormal T wave can indicate various heart conditions. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as beta-blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management are also important.
