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 allI'm noticing something strange and I'm a bit worried. My heart rate seems normal, but I've been feeling my whole body pulse with each heartbeat. I can even see my clothes moving around my chest, and if I'm holding something, it moves too. I especially notice it when I touch my abdomen or my neck. On top of that, I've been having some light chest pains every now and then. Could this be something to be concerned about? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?
Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm wondering if I should consider getting an angiography. This morning I had a TMT, and back in 2012, I had a stent surgery because of a blockage. I have all the screenshots of my TMT report. What do you think?
Based on your history of stent surgery in 2012 and the recent TMT conducted in the morning, it is important to assess the current status of your coronary arteries to determine if there is any blockage or narrowing that may require intervention. Angiography is a common procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries and identify any blockages. Considering your history and the recent TMT results, it would be advisable to proceed with angiography to get a clearer picture of the condition of your coronary arteries. This will help in determining the appropriate course of action, whether it involves medical management, further interventions, or monitoring. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and to schedule the angiography procedure. It is important to follow up on any recommendations based on the results of the angiography to ensure optimal management of your cardiac health.
