I've been taking SARTEL40 telmisartan tablets for the last three months, and my blood pressure is now under control at 13585. I'm feeling pretty good, so I'm wondering if it's okay to reduce my dose to 20 mg. What do you think?

View allIs a pacemaker a good option for my dad? He's 61 and had a heart attack in March. His lvef was 15 at the time, and he's also diabetic. I'm worried about his condition and wondering if a pacemaker would really help.
A pacemaker may be helpful in your father's condition, especially if he has a low ejection fraction (15%). In cases of heart attack and heart failure, a pacemaker can help regulate the heart's rhythm and improve its overall function. Additionally, since your father is diabetic, it is important to manage both conditions effectively. In this case, along with a pacemaker, medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics may also be prescribed to help improve heart function and manage diabetes. It is important for your father to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan and to discuss the specific brand names and dosages of medications suitable for your father's condition.
