I'm really worried because for the past four months I've been dealing with high blood pressure, fatigue, and dizziness. A month ago, I saw a physician who told me my BP was 150100 and put me on some tablets. I started with Prolomet XL 25, then added Amlong 2.5 after dinner. For a couple of weeks, things seemed better with my BP at 13080, but the dizziness and fatigue haven't gone away. I've never felt like this before. Do you think there are other medicines I should consider or any other advice you might have?

It's good that your blood pressure has improved with the medications you are currently taking. However, if you are still experiencing dizziness and fatigue, it may be necessary to adjust your medication regimen. I would recommend adding a medication like Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg once daily in the morning. This medication can help further control your blood pressure and reduce the dizziness and fatigue symptoms you are experiencing. Remember to consult with your physician before making any changes to your medication regimen."

View allI'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?
High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

I stood up quickly and felt a sharp pain in my chest for just a second, and then a few seconds after that, I got chest pain that lasted for about 5 minutes. Could this be something to do with my heart?

I've been having these heart palpitations for about 4 years now, where my heart just suddenly starts pounding, fluttering, or even racing out of nowhere, even when I'm not doing anything physical. The first time it happened was during a cricket practice right after I started jogging, and since then, it's been an on-and-off thing. It freaks me out whenever it happens, and I'm really worried about what it means for my future. Most of the time, I try not to think about it, and my heartbeat stays normal, but then, bam, it starts racing again when I'm just chilling. This issue made me quit sports, so I turned to yoga, which kind of helps since I'm focusing more on my breathing. The weird thing is, the first time I got an ECG, it showed my heart rate was at 122 beats per minute. The doctor back then just told me to avoid stress, but then my mom passed away, which was super stressful, and it made the palpitations worse. But it's strange because I don't have chest pain or dizziness. What do you make of this? Should I be really worried?
It sounds like you have been dealing with heart palpitations for a while now, which can be quite distressing. Based on your description, it seems like you may be experiencing episodes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which can cause the fluttering, pounding, and racing sensations in your heart. One medication that is commonly used to help control heart palpitations like SVT is Verapamil. The usual dosage for Verapamil in cases of SVT is around 120-240 mg per day, divided into 3-4 doses. Additionally, if you are still experiencing palpitations despite lifestyle changes like yoga, your doctor may consider prescribing you a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol. The typical starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of palpitations is 25-50 mg twice a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Remember to also continue practicing stress-reducing techniques like yoga to help manage your symptoms.
