My mother-in-law is 65 and she's really struggling with high blood pressure that just won't seem to get under control, even though she's on a high dose of BP meds. Her echo and ECG came back normal, and all her blood tests look good except for high cholesterol. She's taking Rosuvas for that. I'm really worriedwhat else can she do to get her blood pressure in check?
Given that your mother-in-law's high blood pressure is not well controlled despite high doses of medication, it is essential to re-evaluate her treatment plan with her healthcare provider. Sometimes, resistant hypertension requires a combination of medications from different classes. These may include ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs, like losartan), calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine), diuretics (like hydrochlorothiazide), and beta-blockers (like metoprolol). Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a low-sodium diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake are important. Please consult her healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan that may include adjusting her current medications or adding new ones.

I've been dealing with sinus bradycardia for about 56 months now, and my heart rate is usually around 55 bpm. My doctor suggested I take Orcibest 10mg for it. I'm really wondering if that's actually going to help me. Do you think it's the right medication for my situation?
yes continue same treatment.
