I've been on Telmasartan 40 mg for 4 days now, and ever since, I've felt super tired and just too weak to do anything. My stomachs been feeling a bit bloated too. I've had high blood pressure and pulse for a while, like for over a year now, but Ive only been on medication for about 12 months. I'm starting to wonder if my body and heart got so used to the high blood pressure that they cant handle what's supposed to be normal. Should I stop the meds and just let my body deal with the high blood pressure, or should I stick with Telma and try to manage these side effects?

View allI'm experiencing sudden and strong heartbeats in my chest, and it just happens out of nowhere. It's really uncomfortable, and even something as simple as walking can set it off. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest any solutions?
Sudden strong heartbeat and discomfort in the chest, especially during simple activities like walking, could be due to a condition called atrial fibrillation. It is a type of irregular heartbeat that can lead to serious complications if not treated. I recommend you to take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and rhythm. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with some pretty bad acid reflux after eating heavy masala foods. I've got this weird dhada sensation in my chest, so I got an ECG done. The results said something about a left axis and poor R progression. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? Would love some advice on what to do next!
It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux symptoms and chest discomfort. The ECG findings of Left axis poor R progression may indicate certain heart conditions, but it is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and overall health status. To address your acid reflux symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, you can take Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for immediate relief. It is also recommended to avoid spicy and heavy meals, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
