  5. I'm feeling a bit worried about my blood pressure readings. I got a reading of 135110 at the hospital and 140102 with a digital machine at home. I'm already taking Eritel LN 40 and Concor 2.5, but my regular doctor isn't available right now. I went to a clinic nearby because I've had headaches and blurred vision, and they recommended I take Telma H 4012.5 in the morning and keep up the Concor 2.5 mg at night for the next week until I can see my usual doctor. Does this sound like the right approach, or is there anything else I should consider?

Your blood pressure readings are slightly elevated, and you are experiencing headaches and slight blurriness in vision. Based on the information provided, you are currently taking Eritel LN 40 and Concor 2.5 for your blood pressure. The clinic has advised you to take Telma H 4012.5 in the morning and continue with Concor 2.5 mg at night for 7 days. I recommend following the advice given by the clinic. Take Telma H 4012.5 in the morning and Concor 2.5 mg at night as prescribed. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your regular physician as advised. If you experience any concerning symptoms or if your condition worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

I've recently come across my TMT results, which show a mildly positive reaction with horizontal ST depression up to 2mm in some leads, but it normalizes quickly in recovery. My echo came out normal, and I don't smoke, drink, or have any early CAD fam...

Given your history of chest painpressure, especially with brisk walking, and the findings on your recent TMT showing mildly positive results with horizontal ST depression, it is important to consider the possibility of coronary artery disease (CAD) even in the absence of traditional risk factors. The fact that the ST depression normalizes within 15 seconds of recovery is somewhat reassuring, but further evaluation is warranted. Considering your symptoms and history of anxiety, it is also possible that the chest pain you are experiencing could be related to anxiety. However, it is crucial not to dismiss the possibility of CAD, especially with the new onset of localized chest pain and your TMT results. Given your overall profile and symptoms, I would recommend further evaluation by a cardiologist. They may consider additional tests such as a coronary angiogram to assess the extent of any possible blockages. In the meantime, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or become more frequent. In terms of medication, based on your lipid profile, a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (10-20mg) may be considered to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of CAD progression. Additionally, medications to manage anxiety such as Escitalopram (10mg) may be prescribed to help alleviate your symptoms. It is important to address both the cardiac and psychological aspects of your symptoms to ensure a comprehensive treatment approach.
