View allWhich blood pressure medication is best for my high BP and angina pain? I'm kind of stuck because one doctor recommended Metoprolol and another suggested Amlodipine. I really want something that works well but doesn't have a lot of side effects. Can you help me figure out which one might be better?
For high blood pressure and angina pain, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare providers. Both Metoprolol and Amlodipine are commonly used medications for these conditions. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels. For proper relief and minimal side effects, a combination of both medications may be beneficial. You can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) along with Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc). The typical dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100 mg once or twice daily, and for Amlodipine, it is 5-10 mg once daily. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

My dad had a minor heart attack on November 7th, and he had a bypass operation back in 2008 in the UK. I'm really worriedis this something we should be super concerned about given his history? What can we do to prevent this from getting worse?
Since he had a minor heart attack, it's important for him to follow the doctor's recommendations for recovery. In addition to any prescribed medications, it's crucial for him to make lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking. Given his history of heart issues, he may be prescribed medications such as aspirin to prevent blood clots, a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce strain on the heart, and a statin like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. It's important for him to take these medications as directed by his doctor to help prevent future heart issues.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past five months, and it's really starting to worry me. I get dizzy, have blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain too. The weird thing is, sometimes my blood pressure shoots up after I eat. I'm a 26-year-old female, weighing 90 kg with a height of 5'9". My thyroid tests are normal, but I've been on losakindh 25 mg for about three months, and it doesn't seem to be helping anymore. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I could try next?
It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with Losakind-H 25 mg anymore. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5 mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg once daily to further control your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
