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..

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, weighing 70 kg and standing at 5'10". I've noticed that my diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 for the past few months. Do you think I should start taking medication for this? I'm really not sure what the best course of action is and could use some guidance.
Hello, as your diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 mmHg for several months, it is recommended to start medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your diastolic blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.
