I've got a pretty long medical history with congenital heart disease, two open-heart surgeries, and a pacemaker implanted because of atrial fibrillation. My thyroid levels are low, and I'm on medications like Cordarone and beta blockers. It's been rough over the last year with this intense pounding sensation over my nose and super high blood pressure that just won't get under control. I've tried all the check-ups I can think of. What could possibly be causing this uncontrollable high blood pressure, and what can I do about it?

Uncontrollable high blood pressure can be challenging to manage, especially with your complex medical history. Since you are already on Cordarone, a Beta Blocker, and thyroid medication, one option to consider adding is an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril. The recommended dosage for Lisinopril is usually starting at 10 mg once a day, which can be adjusted based on your blood pressure response. Additionally, a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide may also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and work closely with your healthcare provider to adjust your medications as needed.

I'm 41, unmarried, and I'm carrying quite a bit of extra weight108 kg with a height of 5 feet 7 inches. I've got asthma and I used to take Formoflo inhaler 250mg and Asthalin rotohaler 200mg regularly, even Montek AB for a bit. But since I haven't had symptoms for a while, I stopped. Then recently, after climbing stairs, I had some breathing trouble and found myself needing to take deep breaths and yawning a lot throughout the evening. I did an ECG a week ago that showed everything was okayjust that my heart skipped a beat. My last master health check-up was 45 days ago and that was fine too. I saw a cardiologist because I had chest pain, and they suggested doing a TMT. I've also got GERD. So, my mind's been racing a bitshould I be worried about heart disease or fluid in my lungs? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

I'm wondering if there's any added benefit to taking triolmesar 40 twice a day instead of just once. I've heard that taking it twice might not actually offer more benefit since a single dose is supposed to be effective. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Taking triolmesar 40 twice a day can provide more stable blood levels of the medication compared to a single daily dose. This can be especially beneficial for conditions that require consistent control of blood pressure. However, the decision to switch to a twice daily dosing regimen should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific medical condition.
