I'm considering switching from Teleact 40 manufactured by Ranbaxy to Telmikind 40 by Mankind because the latter is more affordable. Do you think it's okay to make this change? I'm curious if there's any difference between the two in terms of effectiveness or potential side effects. Could you shed some light on this for me?

View allI've been taking a tablet every day for my blood pressure, and now my doctor has also prescribed stemetil MD 5 mg twice a day for 5 days. I'm just wondering if there are any interactions or side effects I should be aware of with this combination?
Stemetil MD 5mg, containing prochlorperazine, is typically prescribed for nausea, vomiting, and vertigo, and taking it twice daily for 5 days is likely intended to address a specific symptom or condition, such as migraines or inner ear disturbances, rather than directly affecting your blood pressure management.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?
To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm really curious about something - I've had tons of ECGs, echos, and TMTs over the past year, and while I suspect I might have POTS because my heart rate jumps to 120 bpm when I walk, that's not what I'm most concerned about right now. Today, I'm experiencing these really strong, sharp chest pains. They come and go, happening in one small spot that hurts for 23 seconds and then disappears, or sometimes it's a dull ache lasting 24 seconds and then it's gone. Occasionally, the pain stays for 30 seconds to a minute, which I've found is called Texidor's twinges. The sharp pains are intense, happening in one spot or feeling like multiple wires in my chest wall are hurting for a second, but then they just vanish. Even with the dull pains, they stop after a few seconds, and I've also been coughing for the last few days. Do you think this could be heart-related? Sometimes, stretching makes the pain worse before it eases up. What could be causing this?
It is important to consider the possibility of musculoskeletal chest pain, especially given the description of sharp, localized pains that last for a few seconds and can be triggered or worsened by stretching. The fact that you have been coughing for the last few days also suggests a potential respiratory component to your symptoms. To address the sharp chest pains, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, using a heating pad on the affected area may help alleviate the discomfort. It is also advisable to practice deep breathing exercises to help relax the chest muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be prudent to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any cardiac issues.
