I'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with moderate hypertension since I got diagnosed with a BP of 168122 on December 18th, and I've been put on Telma 40. But for the past three days, I've been having this awful headache and pain in my cheek, only on the left side of my face. My blood pressure is still at 150115 even though I've been taking the medicine for these three days. Should I be concerned about this, and what should I do next?

Given your recent diagnosis of moderate hypertension and the current blood pressure readings of 150115 despite taking Telma 40 (telmisartan), it is essential to address this promptly. Your persistent headache and left-sided cheek pain might indicate uncontrolled hypertension, which can lead to severe complications if not managed appropriately. Firstly, I recommend you seek immediate medical attention to evaluate your symptoms. Your healthcare provider might need to adjust your blood pressure medication or add additional antihypertensive agents to better control your blood pressure. They may also want to investigate the cause of your headache and cheek pain to rule out other potential issues, such as sinusitis or trigeminal neuralgia. In the meantime, continue taking your medication as prescribed and avoid any activities that could elevate your blood pressure further. Please contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss these symptoms.
