I found out about my high blood pressure about two years ago when my family doctor prescribed me Telma 40. I've been taking it, but I sometimes forget to take it at the same time every day. Since I stopped regularly monitoring my BP, I didn't notice anything unusual until recently. I checked my BP a few days ago, and it read around 14090, usually falling within 13585 to 14590. I've been wondering, even though I'm taking Telma 40, why would my BP still be at 14090? Could my less active lifestyle over the past couple of months be contributing to this? I'm a bit concerned and curious about what's going on.

Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing sodium intake, and managing stress are important in controlling blood pressure. I recommend incorporating regular physical activity into your routine, such as brisk walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. Additionally, try to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and high-sodium items. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and take your medication consistently at the same time each day to optimize its effectiveness. If you continue to have concerns about your blood pressure readings, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've noticed my heart rate goes up to 110 or 120 beats per minute when I eat breakfast or lunch, and then it drops back to around 90 afterwards. I'm keeping track of this with my smart band. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm currently on metapro xl 50 mg and telmasartan 40 mg for about a month now because I've been dealing with spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia. My doctor ruled out any secondary causes. I'm only 20 and I'm worried if I'm going to be on these medications for the rest of my life. They've helped me feel better and my heart feels calmer, but my doctor mentioned that if I dont continue, my heart might get damaged over time. Could you provide some advice on this?

It's good to hear that you are feeling better with the medications. Since you are experiencing spikes in blood pressure and sinus tachycardia, it is important to manage these conditions to prevent any potential damage to your heart in the long term. Both Metapro XL (Metoprolol) 50 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg are commonly used to control blood pressure and heart rate. It is possible that you may need to take these medications long-term to keep your condition under control and protect your heart health. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice and continue taking the medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, make sure to discuss them with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
