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?

View allIs mitral regurgitation something that can be cured? I'm having a really hard time with daily activities because of symptoms like chest pain, feeling like I might faint, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath. What should I do? Can you help me figure this out?
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a condition where the heart's mitral valve does not close tightly, causing blood to flow backward in the heart. Treatment for MR depends on the severity of the condition. In your case, with symptoms like chest pain, near fainting, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may be prescribed medications such as Lisinopril (brand name: Zestril) to help reduce the workload on your heart and manage symptoms. Additionally, you may be advised to take Furosemide (brand name: Lasix) to reduce fluid buildup in your body and relieve symptoms like shortness of breath. In severe cases of MR, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair or replace the mitral valve. However, the treatment plan will be determined based on a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional. It is crucial to follow their recommendations closely for optimal management of your condition.

My brother's been taking Olmezest H20 for his blood pressure, but sometimes it still shows high readings. The doctor recommended adding Amlodipine 5 mg to his routine. I'm wondering if that's a good idea or if switching to Olmezest H40 might be better. What do you think?
use amlodipine 5 mg
