I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure was already high at 160100, and she's just started taking Metosartan 50 mg this morning. But now her blood pressure has spiked even higher to 180113. Plus, she's got a headache and chest congestion. Could you help me understand why her BP might be going up despite the medication?
It is possible that her body is still adjusting to the new medication. However, these symptoms could also be indicative of a hypertensive crisis. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention to address her elevated blood pressure. Additionally, it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 17-year-old guy and for the past three months, I've been having really frequent heart palpitations, like 4 to 5 times a day, sometimes even 6 or 7. It's just that feeling of my heart skipping a beat for a couple of seconds before it goes back to normal. It happens all of a sudden and I'm wondering if this could mean there's some heart disease going on. My resting pulse is 104. Also, I've noticed my hair has started thinning a bit. Could there be some link between the palpitations and things like nutritional deficiencies or low blood count?
It is important to investigate the cause of your frequent heart palpitations and elevated resting pulse rate. One possible connection between your symptoms of heart palpitations and hair thinning could be an underlying thyroid issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can consider taking **Propranolol 10mg** for symptomatic relief of palpitations. However, this is not a definitive treatment and a proper diagnosis is necessary.
