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 recently had an ECG and felt really nervous during the test. The report mentioned "sinus tachycardia otherwise normal ECG." Should I be worried about this?
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. In most cases, it is a normal response to stress, anxiety, or exercise. Since your ECG report shows sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal, there is likely no cause for concern. However, if you continue to experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider. No specific medication is needed for sinus tachycardia, but managing stress and anxiety can help.
