I'm a bit confused about the difference between Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. I don't have high blood pressure, so which one should I be considering, if at all?

IF THE PATIENT IS NOT HAVING HYPERTENSION NO NEED TO TAKE MEDICATION .And prolomet xl R is the combination medication with both medicines,, where as prolomet xl is the single medicine..

View allI've been noticing something a bit worrying lately sometimes it feels like my heart just sinks for a brief moment, less than a minute, and then things feel normal again. I kind of ignored it at first, but it happened again today, and now I'm a bit concerned. This has been going on occasionally over the past 34 months, and I've counted around 56 times when this has happened. Do you think this could be a sign of a minor attack, or is it something else I should be looking into? What kind of tests would you recommend I get done?
cardiac markers and ecg are advised..

I'm really worried about my health lately. I've been dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure for a year now. Last October, I went through some tests like an echo, and everything seemed normal except for some grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. The TMT was negative, and my ECG looked okay. But I'm still having chest pain and pain in my left hand every week, and my heart sometimes races to 150160 bpm, with blood pressure at 180110. I even feel like passing out once a month. I've got pain in my chest, left hand, and jaw too. The doctor said last year that it wasn't a cardiac issue, but I can't shake off these symptoms. Without my blood pressure meds, my blood pressure spikes to 170110 and my heartbeat to 130. I'm currently on metoprolol, talmisartan, and vildapride. Its been seven months since those tests; should I go for another echo or TMT? Ive attached my last years reports and recent ECG too. What do you think?
Based on your history and symptoms, it would be advisable to undergo a repeat echocardiogram and stress test (TMT) to assess your heart function and rule out any cardiac issues. Considering your persistent symptoms and the changes in your blood pressure and heart rate, it is crucial to ensure that your current medications are effectively controlling your conditions. In addition to your current medications (metoprolol 50mg twice a day, telmisartan 40mg twice a day, and vildagliptin-metformin 50500mg twice a day), your healthcare provider may need to adjust the dosages or consider adding other medications to better manage your blood pressure and heart rate. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, including a repeat echocardiogram and stress test, to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and to optimize your treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in managing your diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure and heart rate. My BP reading came out to be 14997, and my heart rate was 106. I'm hoping to avoid taking medication if possible. Do these numbers suggest any health concerns, and what can I do to get my blood pressure back to a normal range naturally?
To reduce your blood pressure without medication, you can try the following lifestyle changes: - Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables. - Limit alcohol intake and quit smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to track changes. The blood pressure reading you provided (14997) is considered high and may indicate hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
