I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

I'm a 30-year-old male and I've been having some trouble with my BP medication. About a year ago, my blood pressure spiked to 175120 and my doctor prescribed Telma 40 along with another medicine for a week. Over time, I stopped taking Telma 40 and hadn't used it for the last 3 months. Recently, I switched to Prolomet XL 25, but it doesn't seem to suit me. What should I do?

It seems like you are experiencing some difficulties with Prolomet XL 25. Since Telma 40 worked well for you in managing your blood pressure, I would recommend you to consult your doctor for a prescription of Telma 40 again. Additionally, you can also consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg to your current medication regimen to help control your blood pressure more effectively. Remember to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications.
