View allI've been on amlosafe at 5mg for about 4 months now, but my blood pressure is still hovering around 150100. Do you think I should be switching up my medication, or is there something else I should be trying?
Amlosafe is a brand name for Amlodipine. Since your blood pressure is still high despite taking Amlodipine 5mg for 4 months, you may need a change in medication. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching to a different antihypertensive medication such as Losartan .

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm really concerned about this condition called cough syncope. What kind of tests are usually done to confirm it? How can I be sure if what I'm experiencing is actually cough syncope?
To confirm a diagnosis of cough syncope, the following tests may be helpful: Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test can help rule out any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the syncope. Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart and can help evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Holter monitor: This is a portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity. It can help detect any irregular heart rhythms that may be associated with cough syncope. Tilt table test: This test involves being tilted at different angles to see if changes in position trigger syncope. Blood tests: These can help rule out other potential causes of syncope, such as anemia or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate tests needed for an accurate diagnosis of cough syncope.
