I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?

For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

I've been taking cilametxl 50mg, moxvas 0.3mg, and minipress XL 5mg every morning and night, but I've noticed that my blood pressure drops temporarily and then spikes to around 17598 or 18595 by 4 p.m. and is high again early in the morning around 6 a.m. Why does this happen, and what can I do to manage these fluctuations better?

Its important to work closely with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan, as fluctuating high blood pressure can be a serious concern over time. Regular check-ups, monitoring, and lifestyle changes will also help manage your blood pressure more effectively. Make sure to follow your doctors advice closely to achieve better blood pressure control.

I'm starting to get really worried because my heart's been racing for the last day and a half. It's super uncomfortable and happens whether I'm sitting or standing. I'm not even exercising or anything, so I can't figure out what's causing it. What should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help slow down your heart rate and reduce the discomfort. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine and stimulants which can exacerbate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
