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 feeling some pain in my throat when I swallow, and it's really uncomfortable. Plus, every time I move, I get this chest pain, and both of my arms are just aching so badly. What could be going on here? Is it something I should be worried about?

These symptoms could be indicative of a viral infection or inflammation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest and arm pain. For the throat pain, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (Cepacol) to numb the throat. Additionally, you can use throat sprays like chloraseptic for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
