I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was normally around 11080, but every time I visit the doctor, it spikes to 14084. My doctor mentioned that it might be due to anxiety and prescribed torsemide for 20 days. He said I could stop taking it after that. Are there any side effects I should be aware of with this medication? And does this mean I'm developing high blood pressure, even though it doesnt usually go over 140?

Torsemide is a diuretic medication that helps reduce fluid retention in the body, which can help lower blood pressure. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure and edema. When taken as prescribed, torsemide is generally well-tolerated. However, like any medication, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, muscle cramps, and increased urination. Since your doctor has prescribed torsemide for a specific duration of 20 days and then advised you to withdraw the tablet, it is important to follow their instructions carefully. Abruptly stopping diuretic medications can sometimes lead to rebound fluid retention and worsening of symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any significant changes or concerns to your doctor. If your blood pressure does not exceed 14090 and you do not have any symptoms of high blood pressure, it is unlikely that you will develop hypertension. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help keep your blood pressure under control. If you have any further questions or concerns, please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

View allI take Tazloc Trio 40 mg in the morning right after breakfast, and I've noticed that about 10-15 minutes later, when I start driving to work, I get this drowsy feeling. It's a bit concerning, especially because I do an intense workout on my bike for an hour before breakfast, and my heart rate is usually around 145-150 bpm. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night because of restless legs, but I still push myself to cycle every morning before taking my medication. My blood pressure used to be pretty high at 160120, and my doctor switched me from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio. Could this drowsiness be related to the medication or my morning routine? What should I do about it?

My uncle is scheduled for CABG surgery this week and we're really worried about it. I've attached the CAG report for reference. Can you explain the benefits and risks of this surgery and what outcomes we can expect? Also, is this technique widely accepted by doctors and patients in India or are there any common issues with it? Would really appreciate your advice.
