I'm wondering if there's any added benefit to taking triolmesar 40 twice a day instead of just once. I've heard that taking it twice might not actually offer more benefit since a single dose is supposed to be effective. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Taking triolmesar 40 twice a day can provide more stable blood levels of the medication compared to a single daily dose. This can be especially beneficial for conditions that require consistent control of blood pressure. However, the decision to switch to a twice daily dosing regimen should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific medical condition.

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results that show IRBBB, but my 2D echo came back normal. I don't have any family history of heart disease, so I'm wondering if my heart's in good shape. Is it okay for me to hit the gym regularly? I already walk more than 10,000 steps a day and jog for about 5 minutes.

based on your description of having an Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) on ECG but a normal 2D echo and no family history of heart disease, it is likely that your heart is healthy and normal. IRBBB itself may not necessarily indicate a heart abnormality, especially if the 2D echo is normal. You can continue with your daily activities like walking more than 10K steps and 5 minutes of jogging. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness during exercise, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. As a precautionary measure, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

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.
