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.

View allI'm a 29-year-old software engineer, and I've been feeling a bit worried about my TMT test results. I'm 5.6 inches tall and weigh 76kg, and I live a normal lifestyle without any addictions. Despite other cardiac tests like X-ray, 2D Echo, and Lipid Profile coming back normal, my TMT tests have been consistently showing a "Mildly Positive" remark. This has happened three times over the past year. Should I be concerned about these TMT results, or is it something I can keep an eye on without stressing too much?
repeat ecg and tmt after 3 months is advised.

I'm just trying to understand what the next steps are for my treatment based on my recent test results. I'm a 62-year-old woman and my 2D Echo Report shows Mild LVH and Mild diastolic dysfunction, with an LVEF at rest of 50. Thankfully, there are no regional wall motion abnormalities, and my RV contractile function is adequate. The report also notes no pulmonary hypertension or pericardial effusion, and no intracardiac clot or vegetation. My chest X-ray mentions a mild unfolding of the aorta but no pluroparenchymal abnormality. Should I be worried about any of these findings, and what kind of treatment might be necessary?

I'm a bit concerned about my dad. He had a CABG surgery last week and was discharged from the hospital this Tuesday. It's been three days now, but he's been having this persistent coughing, especially when he talks. It's really affecting his sleep and mood because it hurts where his chest was stitched. Should I be worried about this? Is this something that commonly happens after such operations? What should we possibly do about it?
