Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

Based on your current medications and medical history, it seems like you are managing your hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels effectively. Since you have a mildly positive TMT result and have not undergone angiography yet, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. You may consider discussing the possibility of undergoing angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries. Depending on the findings, your healthcare provider may recommend adjustments to your current medication regimen or additional interventions to optimize your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed: - Metformin 500mg for diabetes - Ramipril 2.5mg for hypertension - Rosuvastatin for cholesterol - Aspirin for cardiovascular protection - Metoprolol succinate 25mg for hypertension Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
