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.

View allI'm dealing with a high blood pressure issue of 16090. I've been taking Telmi AM, but it doesn't seem like my pressure is going down. Do you think it would be okay for me to switch to Telmi AMH? And if so, what would be the recommended dosage and how long should I be on it?
Telmi AMH can be used as an alternative medication for high blood pressure. The usual dosage for Telmi AMH is 405 mg once daily. It is important to take it regularly at the same time each day. The duration of treatment with Telmi AMH should be determined by your doctor based on your individual condition

My friend has been experiencing this burning sensation in his chest and pain around his heart for the past few weeks, and he's also feeling really weak. We're both getting pretty worried about what's causing this and what it might mean. Any idea what could be going on or what steps we should take next?

I'm having high BP of around 13090 for the past five years and was on Aten 0.25 and Restyl 0.25 for sleep issues. After a couple of years, I had to increase Restyl to 0.5 because the lower dose wasn't helping much with sleep. Then after five years, that too stopped being effective, so I decided to stop taking both Restyl and Aten. I'm trying out ayurvedic medicines now. A friend of mine mentioned having 5 to 10 ml of beer with 6% alcohol for better sleep. I'm curious if that's a good idea or if there are better alternatives.
it's not good
