I've just been told I have high blood pressure and today I took my first dose of Treples 406.25 in the morning. But now it's evening, and I've come down with a slight fever and a headache. Is it okay for me to take Nicip cold and flu tablet with everything else going on?

I've been dealing with high blood pressure around 175110 and usually manage it with Amlopress AT, but lately, Ive had to take Calcigard 5mg and Lasix 40mg to try and control it. It seems to help for a bit, but then my pressure goes right back up after a few hours. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should be doing or considering? My pulse is around 63 if thats important.
. It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with the current medication. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your treatment plan. In addition to your current medications, you may benefit from adding a different class of antihypertensive medication such as an ACE inhibitor or a beta-blocker. For example, you can consider adding a medication like Concor 5mg (beta-blocker) or Ramipril 5mg (ACE inhibitor) to help better control your blood pressure. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?
A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.
