I've been dealing with anxiety disorder since the pandemic, and I'm 32 now. I don't have a family history of high blood pressure, but because of anxiety, my readings were 14090 and 13080. The doctor put me on medication almost a year ago, and now my BP is 11070 and 12080. I'm currently taking Revelol 25. Is it really necessary to stay on blood pressure meds forever? I've also managed to lose around 15 kgs. Would love your advice on this.

It's great to hear that you have been able to reduce your weight and that your blood pressure has improved with Revelol 25 (Metoprolol). It's important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure readings have improved. High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes like weight loss, but sometimes medication is still necessary for long-term control. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with Revelol 25 to effectively manage your blood pressure and prevent any complications associated with hypertension.

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's blood pressure. It's been over 160 for the last couple of weeks. She's currently taking Telma 40 and Cilacar 10, but it doesn't seem to help. Before she switched meds, she was on Amlogard 5 mg and Metosartan 50, but her doctor stopped those since she has ILD Lungs Disease. What should we do next?
Hi, based on your mother's condition of high blood pressure and ILD, it seems like her current medication regimen may not be effectively controlling her blood pressure. I would recommend consulting with her physician to discuss adjusting her medication. In addition to Telma 40 and Cilacar 10, her doctor may consider adding a medication like Amlodipine 5 mg (brand name: Amlogard) or Metoprolol 50 mg (brand name: Metosartan) to help lower her blood pressure. It's important to closely monitor her blood pressure and make any necessary changes under the guidance of her healthcare provider.

I've been having this weird feeling where my heart skips a beat, and it's making me uneasy. I recently saw a cardiologist, and he checked my echo test report and said everything looked fine. The sensation goes away when I sleep and feels okay in the morning, but it suddenly starts again when I'm lying down. Could you help me figure out what's going on or what I should do about it?
mostly no need to fear since echo is normal consult psychiatist if it stil persists

I've been having this chest pain for a few days now and sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, I get these heart palpitations and feel short of breath. It honestly feels like I'm going to die, and it's making it hard for me to get any sleep. I went to a general physician recently and explained everything. The doctor just checked my pulse and listened to my heart with a stethoscope and said theres nothing to worry about. But can I actually trust that? I keep feeling like something's wrong with my heart, but the doctor didnt suggest any tests. Should I get some tests to check my heart health, or am I overthinking this? What would you advise?
it seems like there may not be an immediate cause for concern regarding heart health. However, if your symptoms persist, worsen, or cause you significant distress, its perfectly reasonable to ask for further testing to rule out heart conditions and also explore the possibility of anxiety-related symptoms. If you're still unsure or worried, I recommend having a follow-up consultation with your doctor or seeking a cardiology specialist for more specific tests, such as an ECG or echocardiogram.
