I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's had a history of cardiac attacks and has been on various medications since her last one. Right now, she takes Arkamin in the morning and night, and Ecosprin 75 in the afternoon. She also uses Nexpro 40 and Ganaton 50mg for acidity. The problem is that her blood pressure is consistently around 160-170100 throughout the day, even with medication. There are times it might drop to 13070, but it doesn't last. We've had all these tests done, like Thyrocare X, ECG, and ECO, and everything comes back normal. What's puzzling and worrying is that she's very sensitive to light and sound, her heartbeat increases when exposed to these, especially in the evening. Plus, she feels like her heart skips a beat when there's noise. She's been eating really light and avoiding spicy food, following her angiography back in 2013 where the doctor recommended sticking to medication. I'm really trying to understand why these symptoms are persisting now and what steps we should take next. Any insights?
It seems like your mother is experiencing uncontrolled high blood pressure despite taking Arkamin and Ecosprin. Given her symptoms of sensitivity to light and sound, along with the fluctuating blood pressure readings, it is important to address this issue promptly. Considering her history of cardiac issues, it is crucial to optimize her blood pressure control. I would recommend adding a medication like Telma 40mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure more effectively. Additionally, since she is experiencing acidity, she can continue taking Nexpro 40 for that. In order to address her sensitivity to light and sound, it may be beneficial to consult with an ophthalmologist and an ENT specialist to rule out any underlying issues. It is also important to continue monitoring her blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in regular physical activity. Overall, the addition of Telma 40mg to her current medication regimen may help better control her blood pressure and alleviate some of her symptoms. Regular follow-up with her healthcare provider is essential to monitor her progress.
