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'm a bit worried because I sometimes get this pain in my chest. It tends to come and go quite a lot. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

Chest pain that comes and goes can have various causes, including heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, muscle strain, or anxiety. It is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. If you are experiencing chest pain, it is recommended to take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) and seek immediate medical attention to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I had a gastric issue that was resolved with medication, but I recently did a complete blood test. The results showed my hs-CRP level is 9, though my cholesterol levels are normal. I'm really curious about what this means and if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help explain this?
