Question 1

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?

Accepted Answer

abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.

Question 2

I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?

Accepted Answer

Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.

Accepted Answer

Your blood pressure is currently within the normal range. It is important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure is normal at the moment. Stopping medication abruptly can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. However, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication based on your current blood pressure readings. For now, continue taking Telpres CT 4012.5 for your blood pressure.
