Question 1

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it was reading 14496 when I saw a doctor. He told me to take Telma 20 for six weeks, which I did, but now I can't get back to see him. This morning, my BP was 13496. What should I do next? Do I need to keep taking the medication or make any changes?

Accepted Answer

Since you have been taking Telma 20 (Telmisartan 20mg), continue to take it as prescribed by your physician. In addition, you can also focus on lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If you experience any side effects or have concerns, it's important to follow up with your physician for further guidance.

Question 2

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He's 73 and back in November, he was getting these palpitations which led to an angiogram. They found some mild lesions and myocardial bridging, nothing major though. Before all this, he was on a 10 mg dose of Aztor. In December, he had a left hepatectomy because of a cyst, but that's all sorted now. So, in January, the doctor switched things up and put him on Ecosprin 7520 and Prolimet 12.5, and he's been on those for about three months. The thing is, our doctor isn't available right now and my dads next checkup isn't until April. I'm just wondering if it's okay for him to keep taking this medication for another two months or should we be doing something different?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the same medications can be continued for another two months. Aztor 10 mg can be continued for his cholesterol management. Ecosprin 7520 is important for antiplatelet effects to prevent blood clots, and Prolimet 12.5 is likely prescribed for blood pressure control. It is important to continue these medications as prescribed until his next checkup in April.

Question 3

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?

Accepted Answer

yes continue olmark 40 medication.

Yes you have to start statins and quit smoking completely,maintain healthy lifestyle and stay physically active,use statins for a period of 3 months and check your lipid profile for followup
