I've been taking cilametxl 50mg, moxvas 0.3mg, and minipress XL 5mg every morning and night, but I've noticed that my blood pressure drops temporarily and then spikes to around 17598 or 18595 by 4 p.m. and is high again early in the morning around 6 a.m. Why does this happen, and what can I do to manage these fluctuations better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Its important to work closely with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan, as fluctuating high blood pressure can be a serious concern over time. Regular check-ups, monitoring, and lifestyle changes will also help manage your blood pressure more effectively. Make sure to follow your doctors advice closely to achieve better blood pressure control.

View allI'm 75 years old and had bypass surgery in 1990. I've been told there's now a mild block in my artery, and I'm concerned about how to manage this. I'm also experiencing some breathing problems. Could you advise me on what steps I can take to address these issues?
For the mild blockage in your artery and breathing problem, you can take medications to help manage these conditions. 1. For the mild blockage in your artery, you can take a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. To improve your breathing, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?
A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?
renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...
