I've been on high BP meds for about seven years. Initially, my BP was around 140100, and my doctor put me on olmetrack 20, but it didn't do much. After 2-3 years, they added nebicard 2.5 to the olmetrack, which helped, but my BP was still around 14095 or 13590 without any diet changes or exercise. Now, for the past month, I've started dieting and taking walks, and my BP has dropped to about 12075 to 11067. I'm wondering if this improvement is because of my lifestyle change. Do I still need both meds, or should I try stopping one to see how it affects my BP?

I'm really worried about this constant headache I have, mostly because my blood pressure and sugar are both on the high side. I've done a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. Even my neurologist confirmed everything looks fine. Despite all that, I'm still feeling this awful sense of suffocation. There's no history of any heart problems in my family or anything like that. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about the suffocation issue?
In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having this chest pain and it's like the bones in his chest are hurting too. We went to a general physician who thought it could be gas-related, but the tablets he prescribed haven't helped after a week. I've noticed his chest bones seem to be swelling a bit, and he describes it as feeling like there's a heavy weight there. Interestingly, he sometimes feels relief and no pressure on his chest after he passes bowel movements. Also, he has a sitting job as securitycould that be making his chest pain worse? Should we get an X-ray to find out what's going on, or is there a specific medication you might recommend?
Patient is advised tab pan d orally ,once daily and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 14 days .Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily.If symptoms persists orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
