I'm really worried about my dad's high blood pressure. We've tried consulting multiple doctors, but nothing seems to be helping. Is there anything specific we might be missing or any new treatment options we should consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High blood pressure that is difficult to control can be challenging. Your dad may benefit from a combination of medications to help manage his blood pressure. One common combination that doctors prescribe is amlodipine (5mg) along with losartan (50mg) taken once daily. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to help improve his condition.

My sister has been feeling sick and weak for months, with chest pain and nausea. It got worse yesterday, so we took her to the hospital. They did an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray. Her echo report shows she has grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I read this is related to heart failure, but the doctor discharged her, saying everything's fine. Is there something more we should know? Could the doctor be keeping something from us?

I'm worried about Ciplar LA 20 and its effects on blood cholesterol levels. If someone were to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long time, could it raise their cholesterol?
Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol) is a beta-blocker medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. It is not known to increase blood cholesterol levels in the body. However, it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly, as beta-blockers can sometimes affect lipid metabolism. If someone needs to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long period of time, it is important to follow up with their healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual needs and response to the medication.
