I've been feeling this odd sensation when I'm sitting down, like there's a push and pull throughout my body matched with my heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest. Both my echo and TMT came back normal, so I'm kind of confused about what's going on. What might be causing this, and what type of doctor should I talk to about it?

I'm currently taking Teleact 40 in the morning and Cilny 10 along with Concor 5 at night. I've been feeling kind of light-headed in the mornings though. Do you think it would be better to switch things up and take the Telmisartan and Cilnidipine combo in the morning and the Concor 5 at night instead? I just want to make sure I'm managing my blood pressure in the best way possible.

Switching to Telmisartan (brand name: Telma) + Cilnidipine (brand name: Cilacar) combination in the morning can help in managing your blood pressure more effectively. You can continue taking Concor 5 at night for better control. The recommended dosage for Telmisartan + Cilnidipine combination would be as per your doctor's prescription.

I'm worried about my dad's blood pressure while he's here in the UK with me for another month. He's been taking Zaart for it, but his readings are ranging from 165 to 200. Should he be taking 50mg instead of 25mg?
