I'm really worried about this heart murmur that was detected during my TB treatment. I completed 9 months of medication, and an echo test came back normal. But the heart murmur is still being detected. Could the TB meds be causing this? It all started when I began taking them. What should I do?

I'm currently on medication for blood pressure and taking Zilokem 40 mg and Nexovas twice a day, but my blood pressure reading is 100150. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Review with your treating physician for dosage adjustment and recalibration. Try to include physical exercise of 150 minutes per week at least, in order to improve BP readings.
