I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?

It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI'm worried about my blood pressure and want to make sure I'm using the right type of salt. Is rock salt a good option for someone with high blood pressure? And how much salt should I really be consuming each day to stay healthy?
For people with high blood pressure, it is recommended to use iodized salt with reduced sodium content. Rock salt, also known as Himalayan pink salt, is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure due to its high sodium content. The recommended daily intake of salt for adults is about 5 grams, which is approximately one teaspoon. It is important to monitor your salt intake to help manage high blood pressure.

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?
yes continue olmark 40 medication.

I've been taking cardace 2.5 mg after consulting with Dr. Anand Chopda on August 17th. I've been monitoring my readings every morning before taking the tablet, and they are as follows: Aug 19 - 11277, Aug 20 - 11888, Aug 21 - 11883, Aug 22 - 13385, Aug 23 - 13195, Aug 24 - 12693, Aug 25 - 11773. Should I keep taking the cardace at this dosage, or is there a need for adjustment? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers. Any advice on this?
Based on the readings you have provided, it seems like your blood pressure has been fluctuating. However, it is important to note that a single reading may not provide a complete picture. Since you have been advised to take Cardace 2.5 mg by Dr. Anand Chopda, it is important to continue the medication as prescribed. The dosage of Cardace 2.5 mg is usually once daily. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day for best results. Additionally, it is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record of the readings to share with your doctor during follow-up consultations. If you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns about your blood pressure readings, please consult
