Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on metosartan 25mg for about three weeks now, and the doctor recently told him to switch to 50mg. Despite this and his efforts like walking and cutting down on salt, his blood pressure still isn't going down. Is there anything else we can do to help reduce his BP?

Elevated bilirubin (6.2) with normal MRI suggests a non-obstructive cause.

Possible reasons:

- Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
- Liver dysfunction (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis)

- Medication-induced (e.g., certain antibiotics)
