I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm currently managing my high blood pressure with telvas 40 and my high pulse with ivabradine 5, which I take twice a day. I also have mild asthma. Is it safe for me to switch to telvas beta 50?

No need to change the medicine . U can continue same treatment since tab telma is safer in asthamatic patients..ARBs are the first line medications in asthmatic patients.

I've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?

You have to loose weight and maintain healthy BMI even though the cholesterol is normal for high BMI there is always risk of stroke better to continue to the medication till you are completely normal and healthy in all aspects
