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.

View allI'm really worried about my heart condition. The doctor mentioned that my left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel has a 70% blockage in the proximal region. The mid and distal parts of the LAD are normal, but there's an ostial plaque in D1, while D2 is normal. They've suggested angioplasty, and I'm unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some advice or explain this a bit more? I'm feeling anxious about the whole situation.
"Based on your condition of Left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel Proximal lad 70% present with Mid and distal lad normal and D1-ostial plaque, the recommended treatment is angioplasty. You can use antiplatelet medications such as Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily along with Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots. Additionally, Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further plaque buildup. Follow your doctor's advice for the dosage and duration of these medications."

I've been feeling this chest pain every day, and it's making me really uncomfortable. My ECG, echo, and TMT all came back normal, so Im a bit puzzled and worried. Why isn't anything showing up in the tests even though I'm still dealing with these symptoms? What could be going on with my chest?
Given that your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, and you continue to experience daily chest pain and discomfort, it's likely that your symptoms might not be heart-related. Other possible causes could include musculoskeletal issues like costochondritis or muscle strain, gastrointestinal problems such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety-related symptoms. It would be beneficial to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any digestive issues and consider a musculoskeletal evaluation for potential muscular causes. Additionally, managing any underlying anxiety through therapy or relaxation techniques may help alleviate your symptoms. Please discuss these possibilities with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.

I'm seeing my BP as 124 over 80, and my pulse rate is 108. Is this pulse rate normal? I'm also 73 kg and having some neck pain. Should I be concerned about any of this?
