I'm a bit concerned because I just started taking Telma 20mg and today I've been feeling dizzy and really tired. Is that a normal reaction? I checked my blood pressure and it's 14092. What should I do about this?

Starting on Telma (telmisartan) 20mg can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness and fatigue, especially when your body is adjusting to the medication. These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or during the initial days of treatment. Your current blood pressure reading of 14092 mmHg indicates that it is still elevated. Its important to monitor your symptoms and blood pressure closely. If the dizziness and fatigue persist or worsen, please contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment plan.

I've had mild chest pain for years and my doctor recommended an angiography which showed blockages in my arteries. The report says there's a 40-50% mid-segment stenosis in the LM artery, 90% stenosis in the LAD at S1 D1 level with diffuse distal disease, and severe blockages in LCx (70-80% ostial), OM1 (80% ostial), OM2 (90% diffuse). RCA also has 90% stenosis in ostial PDA and PLV. Given these findings, is bypass surgery the best option for me or are there other treatments I should consider?

cardiologist opinion is advised.
