I've been checking my blood pressure over the past few days and my average reading is around 14090. When I checked it a second time, it was showing 13089. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you give me some advice?

View allI've been dealing with constant pain on the left side of my chest for about 8 months now. My ECG came back normal, so I'm pretty confused about what's going on. Sometimes taking something for acidity helps a bit, but other times it doesn't do much. Along with that, I've been feeling pretty nauseous and have had some trouble breathing. Does this sound like something serious, or should I keep trying different medications?
ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the pt.

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?
yes continue olmark 40 medication.

I'm really confused and a bit worried. I never had any blood pressure issues before, but two days ago, out of nowhere, my nose started bleeding at night. When I got my blood pressure checked at the hospital, it was 19080, which seems pretty high. The doctor prescribed me Amlodipine and Losartan, and now it's down to 12783. Just wondering, could these meds have any side effects? Any idea why my blood pressure suddenly spiked like that?
Amlodipine and losartan are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels to improve blood flow, while losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. The common side effects of amlodipine include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, and flushing. Losartan may cause dizziness, tiredness, or low blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to suddenly spike, and there can be various reasons for it. It's good that you sought medical attention promptly. If you have any concerns about the medications or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
