I've been experiencing this off-and-on chest tightness and shortness of breath for several years now. It's like I can't catch my breath sometimes, and I have to take deep breaths to feel okay. I don't have any medical history, and Im not on any meds. I saw a couple of doctors, and they said it might be panic attacks. My ECG came back normal, but it seems to get worse when I lie down. Occasionally, I feel like I need to yawn to fully catch my breath. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned because I just started taking Telma 20mg and today I've been feeling dizzy and really tired. Is that a normal reaction? I checked my blood pressure and it's 14092. What should I do about this?

Starting on Telma (telmisartan) 20mg can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness and fatigue, especially when your body is adjusting to the medication. These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or during the initial days of treatment. Your current blood pressure reading of 14092 mmHg indicates that it is still elevated. Its important to monitor your symptoms and blood pressure closely. If the dizziness and fatigue persist or worsen, please contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment plan.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure, around 12090 most of the time, and I've got hyper acidity too. Whenever I get that acidity feeling, it seems like my BP shoots up, and I also have GERD. A doctor said I have LV hypertrophy but my echo test came back normal. What kind of treatments would you recommend for this?

It sounds like your high BP and acidity are connected, as stress from GERD and acidity can worsen hypertension. It's important to manage both with lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and medications as prescribed. For better control, consider antacids or PPIs for acidity, and BP medication to manage your levels. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are essential to monitor your heart and BP.
