I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

I'm worried about my husband because his heart pulse rate seems pretty lowaround 53and his blood pressure is about 115 over 72. It's been like this for the past 10 to 15 years. He doesn't show any symptoms and can do physical activities without issues. Is this low blood pressure and low heart pulse rate normal, or should we be concerned? What could be causing this, and what steps should we take?
A low heart pulse rate (bradycardia) and low blood pressure can sometimes be normal for some individuals, especially if they are asymptomatic and have no underlying health conditions. However, it is important to monitor these values regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. If there are no symptoms or issues with daily activities, treatment may not be necessary. If there are concerns about the low heart pulse rate and blood pressure, further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause. It is recommended to consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include tests such as an ECG, Holter monitor, or echocardiogram. Treatment, if necessary, will depend on the underlying cause identified during the evaluation.
