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've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

I've been experiencing a strange fluttering feeling just under my left breast since last night. I'm not sure if it's just gas or if I'm having heart palpitations, but it's really uncomfortable and kept me from sleeping well. Theres no pain, and my smart band shows my heart rate is 83 with a SPO2 of 96. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
The weird fluttering sensation under your left breast, without pain, could be due to various reasons such as heart palpitations, anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or even gas trapped in the digestive system; given your normal heart rate and oxygen saturation levels, try relaxation techniques, avoid caffeine and heavy meals, and if the sensation persists or worsens, consider consulting a cardiologist
