I've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

I've been dealing with hypertension for the past year and recently found out I have mild LVH. I'm currently taking nebivolol and amlodipine, but my blood pressure still won't go below 13585. I'm only 34, and I'm worried about why these meds aren't working. Is there something else I should consider doing or trying?
Managing hypertension with mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) requires a comprehensive approach. _Current Medications_ 1. _Nebivolol_: A beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce LVH. 2. _Amlodipine_: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. _Additional Strategies_ 1. _Lifestyle Modifications_: - Regular aerobic exercise (at least 150 minutesweek) - Weight management (aim for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9) - Balanced diet (emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein) - Stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga, or deep breathing) 2. _Monitor and Adjust Medications_: - Regularly monitor blood pressure and adjust medications as needed. - Consider adding a diuretic or an ACE inhibitorARB to enhance blood pressure control. 3. _LVH Monitoring_: - Regular echocardiograms to monitor LVH progression - Adjust medications and lifestyle modifications accordingly _Consult a Specialist_ Consider consulting a cardiologist to reassess your treatment plan and provide personalized guidance.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure, like around 15080, for a bit now, and my doctors assistant put me on Stamlo 10mg twice a day. Over time, they gradually reduced it to 10mg once a day, then to 5mg, then 2.5mg, and finally half of 2.5mg because my BP stabilized. Now my doctor said I could stop taking the meds and just monitor my BP for a week. If it stays normal, I can stop the meds and just focus on a healthy lifestyle. But, if it goes up again, I might have to be on meds for life. Im worried about stopping the meds completelyis it safe to just stop like this? Could it have any serious effects on my health? What do you think?
nothing will happen you follow regular check ups
