I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?

Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

I'm really worried because it feels like my heart is sinking or pausing, and I feel dizzy and confused, almost like I can't fully understand whats happening around me. I can hear and see things, but they dont make sense. My back and chest hurt too. I've had an echo and an MRI on my brain, and they both came back normal, and my bloodwork is fine as well. What could this be?
Your symptoms, including a sinking feeling in your chest, dizziness, confusion, and chest and back pain, despite normal echo, MRI, and blood work results, may be related to anxiety, panic disorder, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy; consider consulting a psychiatrist to explore these possibilities and discuss potential treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, or medication to manage anxiety and alleviate symptom

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
