I found out about my high blood pressure about two years ago when my family doctor prescribed me Telma 40. I've been taking it, but I sometimes forget to take it at the same time every day. Since I stopped regularly monitoring my BP, I didn't notice anything unusual until recently. I checked my BP a few days ago, and it read around 14090, usually falling within 13585 to 14590. I've been wondering, even though I'm taking Telma 40, why would my BP still be at 14090? Could my less active lifestyle over the past couple of months be contributing to this? I'm a bit concerned and curious about what's going on.

Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing sodium intake, and managing stress are important in controlling blood pressure. I recommend incorporating regular physical activity into your routine, such as brisk walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. Additionally, try to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and high-sodium items. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and take your medication consistently at the same time each day to optimize its effectiveness. If you continue to have concerns about your blood pressure readings, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

View allCan a young person really die from hypertension? I'm super anxious because whenever I get anxious, my heart starts racing and I worry it might lead to a sudden cardiac arrest. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Hypertension can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. While it is rare for a young person to die directly from hypertension, it is important to manage and control high blood pressure to prevent long-term complications. Anxiety itself does not directly cause hypertension, but it can contribute to temporary spikes in blood pressure. It is important to address and manage anxiety to prevent these spikes and reduce the risk of complications. In your case, managing anxiety may help reduce your heart palpitations and lower the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. To help manage your anxiety and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider speaking with a healthcare provider about potential treatment options. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your overall well-being.

I've just turned 17, and I'm trying to understand my lvef count, which is at 75. Is this something normal for someone my age? Any insights you could share would be really helpful because I'm a bit concerned.
An ejection fraction (EF) of 75% is considered normal and indicates good heart function. There is no need to worry about this result. Just continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. I've been dealing with BP issues for the last 10 years and for the past 10 days, its been all over the place. Ive been on Amlosafe MT 50 for the last decade, and my doctor just added Telvas 3D to the mix three days ago. Seems like my BP has stabilized at 18080 since then, which is better than when it was fluctuating between 18097 and 16090. How long do you think itll take for my BP to get back to normal?
It is difficult to predict exactly how many days it will take for your blood pressure to become normal after starting Telvas 3D. However, typically you should see some improvement in your blood pressure within 1-2 weeks of starting the new medication. It is important to continue taking both Amlosafe MT 50 and Telvas 3D as prescribed by your doctor for the best results. If you do not see significant improvement in your blood pressure after a few weeks, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible adjustment of your medication dosage.
