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 just had my routine check-up and my ECG results showed something called T wave inversion in the inferior leads. I'm a 34-year-old guy, pretty healthy overall, and I don't smoke or drink. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious?
This finding can sometimes be a normal variant, especially in young healthy individuals like yourself who do not have any symptoms or risk factors such as smoking or drinking. However, it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. If no other concerning symptoms are present, no treatment may be necessary at this time.

I'm wondering if a heart rate of 94 is considered high. I've taken a screenshot for reference. Could you please give me your advice on this?
A heart rate of 94 beats per minute is slightly above the normal range for adults, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute at rest. It is not considered high, but it is on the higher side of normal. To help lower your heart rate, you can try relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you continue to have concerns about your heart rate, you can consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned because my BP just isn't coming under control. The meds my doctor prescribed, Eslo At and Arkamin, are supposed to be taken twice daily, but my BP's still at 160110. Plus, the medications leave me feeling extremely weak, and I barely have any energy. Arkamin was originally prescribed three times a day, but I found I couldn't manage work when taking it that often, so I spoke with my doctor and now only take it twice a day. What should I do?
