I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?

I'm a 47-year-old guy who's been taking Losartan for my high blood pressure for the past three years. It used to keep things stable, but for the last couple of weeks, my blood pressure has been running high. Do you think this medication is still the right choice for me? Should I consider adjusting the dose or maybe switching to a different medication? I'm quite concerned about these changes and want to make sure I'm managing my hypertension effectively.

Considering that your blood pressure has been on the higher side despite being on Losartan for 3 years, it may be necessary to reassess your treatment plan. Losartan is a common medication for hypertension, but sometimes a change in medication or dosage adjustment may be needed for better blood pressure control. I recommend consulting your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage of Losartan or adding another medication such as Amlodipine to better manage your blood pressure. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make any necessary adjustments under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
