My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?

View allI've been feeling this odd sensation in my chest for the past 23 days, almost like there's a light weight sitting there. When I stand up after sitting for a bit, it gets worse, and I feel a bit breathless with fear running through my mind. What could be causing this, and who should I see about it? It's pretty scary for me, especially since I just had tests like an ECG done last year for insurance. What do you think?
I understand that this feeling can be quite distressing. It could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or even a cardiac issue, though your previous tests were normal. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough check-up and possibly an updated ECG, as well as discussing any anxiety or stress you might be experiencing. Take care!

My triglycerides are at 410, and I recently had an ultrasound that mentioned something about an 800 normal sinus rhythm and a 611 T Abnormalityflat T. Should I be worried about this 611 T abnormality flat T thing? The doctor didn't give me any meds for it, is that normal? Could you explain a bit about what my ultrasound results mean and whether I should get a second opinion?

I've been noticing that I can hear my heartbeat pretty clearly while I'm sleeping, especially in a sitting position. Sometimes it even feels like my heart is lifting or something, and it's a bit worrying. I don't have any issues with sugar or blood pressure, but my heart rate is around 100 bpm. Should I be concerned about this for my future health? What do you think?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of palpitations, which can be concerning. I recommend you to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further management.
