View allI've been dealing with anxiety disorder since the pandemic, and I'm 32 now. I don't have a family history of high blood pressure, but because of anxiety, my readings were 14090 and 13080. The doctor put me on medication almost a year ago, and now my BP is 11070 and 12080. I'm currently taking Revelol 25. Is it really necessary to stay on blood pressure meds forever? I've also managed to lose around 15 kgs. Would love your advice on this.
It's great to hear that you have been able to reduce your weight and that your blood pressure has improved with Revelol 25 (Metoprolol). It's important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure readings have improved. High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes like weight loss, but sometimes medication is still necessary for long-term control. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with Revelol 25 to effectively manage your blood pressure and prevent any complications associated with hypertension.

Can drinking lots of water lower blood pressure?
Drinking water has role in blood pressure maintenance. When a person is dehydrated BP drops initially but later on kidneys reabsorbs more water rather than excreting in urine and vasopressin is released which constricts the blood vessels, both together can increase blood pressure. Hence, every person should drink at least 3 liters of water in a day to prevent dehydration and to maintain BP. One should also note that excess water intake should also be avoided which can put more stress on heart and cause fluid retention in the body.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her heart starts beating really fast at night and I'm not sure what to do. It's kind of freaking me out. Can you help?
Palpitations can be caused by various factors. In this case, it is important to first consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, to help alleviate the symptoms, you can consider giving your mother a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for palpitations is around 25-50mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to ensure your mother is staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and getting adequate rest.
