I'm really worried because my blood pressure has been reading 150100 three times, and I've been taking Ozotel H as my doctor prescribed. I've been on the medication for the last three days, but I haven't seen any improvement in the readings yet. The doctor advised me to wait another two to three days, but I'm scared about the possibility of having to take medication for the rest of my life. I lead an active lifestyle, exercise daily, and there's no family history of high BP. I weigh 70 kg, am 5'7", and am 33 years old. Is there anything else I can do to lower my blood pressure?

It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure while taking antibiotics for your cold. Ozotel H is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Since your blood pressure readings have not decreased significantly after three days of taking Ozotel H, it is important to follow your doctor's advice to wait for another two to three days. In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications can also help in managing high blood pressure. Since you are already doing daily exercise, continue with your exercise routine as it can help lower blood pressure. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure readings do not improve or if you have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm concerned because I've noticed my triglycerides are really high at 603, but my total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL are in the normal range. I'm a bit worried about this and I'm wondering what medication I should consider taking for the high triglycerides. Also, my heart rate is always above 100, sometimes reaching 116. Could the high triglycerides be causing my heart rate to be so high?
High triglyceride levels, like a reading of 603 mgdL, significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions and pancreatitis. While high triglycerides themselves typically do not cause an elevated heart rate, they can indicate underlying metabolic issues that might contribute to overall cardiovascular stress. It's essential to address these elevated levels promptly. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as fibrates (e.g., fenofibrate), omega-3 fatty acids, or statins to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes are crucial, including adopting a low-fat, low-sugar diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake. Given your elevated heart rate (100-116 bpm), it's also important to have this evaluated, as it could be related to various factors such as anxiety, thyroid issues, or other underlying conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
