I've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?

My doctor told me to get some tests done before my gallstone surgery I have an 8.9mm stone with cholesterolosis. I did an ECG, chest X-ray, and FBS. The X-ray is normal, and FBS is fine too, but my CBC shows slightly high eosinophils. The ECG report says sinus tachycardia with old inferior wall what does that mean? I also have anxiety, so I'm a bit worried about the ECG findings. Can you explain?
