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!"

View allI'm a bit confused and worried after seeing my recent health checkup report. It mentions Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but everything else like chamber dimension, RWMA, and LV systolic function looks normal. The report also notes trivial MR and TR, with no PAH, clot, or vegetation, and my EF is 70. Can you help me understand what Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction really means and if there's anything I should do about it?
grade 1 diastolic dysfunction could be due to hypertension , electrolyte imbalance and due to ischaemic heart disease.Salt restricted diet and DASH diet is advised.Also regular aerobic exercises is advised..Alcohol and cessation of smoking is advised

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?
abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been having some mild chest pain for about six months now. I exercise daily, eat healthy, and I don't smoke. Could this be something serious or is it just anxiety or something else? Should I be concerned?
It's generally safe to use Moxikind (moxifloxacin) for cold and Monocef (cefixime) for cough together. However, consider the following: _Phensedyl (cough syrup)_: Avoid using Phensedyl with Moxikind and Monocef without consulting your doctor, as it may interact with antibiotics. _Consult your pediatrician_ before administering these medications together, especially if your child has any underlying medical conditions or is taking other medications. Also, ensure you: 1. Complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed. 2. Follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions. 3. Monitor your child's condition and report any adverse reactions or concerns to your pediatrician.
