I'm a student from Secunderabad, Telangana, and I'm in the 10th standard. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird sensations, like goosebumps or a light pain in my chest. It's hard to tell exactly what it is. Kind of worried about it. What could be going on?

View allI'm really confused and a bit worried. I never had any blood pressure issues before, but two days ago, out of nowhere, my nose started bleeding at night. When I got my blood pressure checked at the hospital, it was 19080, which seems pretty high. The doctor prescribed me Amlodipine and Losartan, and now it's down to 12783. Just wondering, could these meds have any side effects? Any idea why my blood pressure suddenly spiked like that?
Amlodipine and losartan are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels to improve blood flow, while losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. The common side effects of amlodipine include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, and flushing. Losartan may cause dizziness, tiredness, or low blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to suddenly spike, and there can be various reasons for it. It's good that you sought medical attention promptly. If you have any concerns about the medications or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the past four days. I've noticed my resting heart rate has dropped to between 70-85 and my blood pressure is now around 11080. There's another option, Metoprolol 25 mg, and I'm curious if it's a better choice for me to use just for a month. What would you suggest?
For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
