I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it was reading 14496 when I saw a doctor. He told me to take Telma 20 for six weeks, which I did, but now I can't get back to see him. This morning, my BP was 13496. What should I do next? Do I need to keep taking the medication or make any changes?

Since you have been taking Telma 20 (Telmisartan 20mg), continue to take it as prescribed by your physician. In addition, you can also focus on lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If you experience any side effects or have concerns, it's important to follow up with your physician for further guidance.

I'm feeling a bit worried because for the past four days, I've been taking Monotrate 10mg and have noticed an irregular heartbeat. It seems to be getting better with the medication, but it's still there. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will resolve as I continue with the Monotrate? What should I do next?
