Question 1

I'm currently taking Cortel 80 mg and Amlokind 5 mg for hypertension and was wondering if it's possible to stop taking one of them.

I'm a bit worried about having to take both medications and would appreciate your guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

A balanced diet low in salt.
Regular physical activity.

Question 2

I'm wondering if my consistently high heart rate, which usually ranges between 97 and 116, could be linked to my high triglycerides. Could high cholesterol be a reason for this elevated heart rate? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be going on with my heart health.

Question 3

My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?
