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've recently had a TMT test done and I'm trying to wrap my head around the results. The test summary says Total Time is 631, Max HR Attained is 184 bpm, and it's 96% of my target, which is 191. It also mentions Max BP is 190100 and Max workload is 7.6 with Bruce Protocol. My doctor said everything looks fine and that I shouldn't worry, but I just want to make sure all these values are normal. Could you help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about or if it's all really okay?

I've been really worried about some medication I took a while back. In 2015, I was prescribed dexa 0.5 mg for about two months to help with weight gain. At the time, I didn't really think about the side effects, but now I'm concerned about how it might be affecting my heart. I've had tests like TMT, echo, and ECG, and they're all normal, but I'm still dealing with dyspnea and fatigue quite a bit. Could these issues be lingering side effects from the dexamethasone I took, even if my heart tests are coming out fine?
"Based on your history of taking dexamethasone 0.5 mg regularly for 2 months in 2015 and your current symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue, it is important to consider the potential long-term effects of dexamethasone on your heart. While your TMT, echo, and ECG are normal, prolonged use of dexamethasone can still have implications on cardiovascular health. To address your symptoms and concerns about potential heart side effects, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can consider medications like ACE inhibitors or beta-blockers to help manage any potential cardiac issues associated with dexamethasone use. It is important to prioritize your heart health and seek appropriate medical guidance to ensure comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs."

I'm really concerned about this irregular heartbeat I've been experiencing for the past three days. It feels like it's taking jerks, and sometimes it seems to get worse. Additionally, I've had a cough for the past two days. I'm worried and wondered if these symptoms are related. Could you let me know what might be causing this and if I should be worried?
