Question 1

I'm 22 and I've been dealing with some blood pressure issues. I was on propranolol, but it didn't seem to help much, so my doctor switched me to telmisartan and metoprolol. I'm a bit concerned about switching meds so quicklycan stopping one and starting another suddenly cause problems? Also, since I'm pretty young, are these medications going to have any negative effects on me? I think my BP might be more of a "white coat" issue than a constant problem. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can take it ,follow your doctors advice

Question 2

I took a taxim o tablet for this swollen lump on my forearm because my doctor suggested it. But as soon as I took it, my heart started racing, and my heart rate shot up to around 120. I'm feeling chest pressure from all this bloating. Why is this happening? I got scared and stopped taking it. What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

It's possible that you experienced an adverse reaction to Taxim O (cefixime), which is an antibiotic. While antibiotics like cefixime are generally safe, they can occasionally cause side effects in some individuals. The racing heart rate (tachycardia) and chest pressure you experienced may be related to an allergic reaction, anxiety, or even a gastrointestinal side effect such as bloating. It is crucial to report these symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately, as they may need to prescribe an alternative treatment for your swollen lump and address your current symptoms. In the meantime, avoid taking any more of the medication and seek medical attention to ensure your symptoms are properly managed.

Question 3

I was recently told by my general physician to start a 10-day course of Telma 40 mg because my blood pressure was quite high at 170110. I've been checking my BP in the evenings for the next few days, and it's usually between 100150 and 115155. After taking the medication for six days, my BP has come down to around 13090, and for the last couple of days, it's stabilized around 12080 in the evening. I've also cut back on salty and oily foods and started walking about 4 to 5 km, plus doing 20 minutes of Pranayam. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what else I can do. I have a BMI of 26.5. Any advice?
