I'm really worried because my blood pressure has been super high for the last few hours, reading 197 over 111. I'm feeling a lot of discomfort and it's making me nervous. Could this be hypertension or something else I should be concerned about? What should I do right now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High blood pressure with readings of 197111 is a cause for concern and may require immediate medical attention. You can take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 10mg to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allCan my dad take Metloc and Telmisartan at the same time? I'm worried because he forgot to tell the doctor that he's already taking Telmisartan. Should I be concerned about any interactions or side effects from combining these medications?
Metoprolol is a beta-blocker and Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. They can be safely taken together to manage high blood pressure. The usual dosage of Metoprolol is 25-100mg twice daily, and Telmisartan is typically taken at a dosage of 40-80mg once daily.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?
It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.
