Accepted Answer

After taking the COVID vaccine, you can take your prescribed medications, including Telmikind 40, as directed by your doctor; Dolo 650 (Paracetamol) and Telmikind 40 (Telmisartan) can be taken together, but ensure a 2-3 hour gap to minimize potential interactions; monitor your blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, and consult your doctor if you experience any concerns, such as a pulse rate exceeding 110 or severe body aches.

Question 5

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a fever of 100.5 last week and hasn't had blood pressure issues before, but her BP was around 100160. We've had some family stress lately, so I'm thinking that might be affecting her health. The doctor did som...

Accepted Answer

Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol can help in controlling blood pressure. However, in some cases, medication may be necessary. In your mother's case, since her blood pressure readings have been consistently high, the doctor prescribed Olmecip. This medication is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps to relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. The usual starting dose of Olmecip is 20mg once daily. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and monitor blood pressure regularly.

Question 6

I'm a bit concerned about my mom who is 52. Her name is Gayatri Singh. She has blood pressure but isn't diabetic. The doctor said her blood pressure is normal, but when we did a fasting sugar test at home, it was 162. What does this mean? Could it be...

Accepted Answer

A fasting blood sugar level of 162 mgdL is higher than the normal range (70-99 mgdL) and indicates impaired fasting glucose, a precursor to diabetes; given your mother's age, blood pressure history, and non-diabetic status, it's essential to consult her doctor for further evaluation, including a confirmatory fasting blood sugar test, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), or HbA1c test, to determine if she has developed diabetes or prediabetes, and to discuss lifestyle modifications and potential medication to manage her blood sugar levels
