Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is generally a chronic condition that cannot be completely cured but can be effectively managed. Key points to understand include:

  1. Management over Cure: While hypertension often cannot be fully cured, it can be controlled through lifestyle changes and medication.

  2. Lifestyle Changes: a. Adopt a healthy diet low in salt. b. Engage in regular physical activity. c. Maintain a healthy weight. d. Limit alcohol and avoid tobacco.

  3. Medications: Doctors may prescribe antihypertensive drugs to help keep blood pressure within a safe range.

  4. Regular Monitoring: Keeping track of blood pressure readings helps adjust treatment as needed.

  5. Importance of Adherence: Following medical advice and treatment plans is crucial to prevent complications.

With proper care and management, people with hypertension can lead healthy lives and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other complications.

I'm a bit worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Diabetes and Hypertension for about 12 years now, and shes been taking medications to keep them in check. Since last November, she started on Ecosprin AV 7520 daily. I'm kind of concerned about if there are any side effects from taking it every day and whether its necessary to have Aspirin free intervals?

No need to stop medications , all the medications are to be continued including ecosprin.

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest, and today I noticed there's some swelling under my ribs. It's really worrying me since I remember 2 years ago, I went through a bunch of heart checkups, and everything was fine. The doctor back then said it was because of my poor lifestyle. But now, I'm not sure what's causing this pain again. Could you suggest what might be going on and which specialist I should see?

no need to worry follow your doctors advice

I'm really worried because I've been on amlogard 5 mg and olmesar 10mg for my blood pressure for the past five months. Now, my gastroenterologist has told me I have an intestine infection and said I should stop the olmesar. They suggested I take a different medication instead, but I'm not sure what I should switch to. Do you have any advice on what could work with the amlogard?

Ramipril 5 mg is the substitute for the medication and be taken,, salt restricted diet and dash diet also advised to the patient..
