I've recently switched to Telma 40 from Inzit 4 mg just a few days ago, and while my blood pressure was normal initially, today it shot up to 135 over 105. Plus, I'm experiencing this tingling sensation in my hands and feet. I'm wondering, should I give it more time for my body to adjust to Telma? Will these side effects eventually go away, or would it be better to revert to Inzit, even though it gave me quite a few side effects too? What do you think I should do?

I'm really concerned about my heart rate because it's usually around 100 or more whether I'm just sitting, walking, or doing anything else. I've been using my Fitbit to track it, and I also have an Omron BP machine at home that often shows it going over 100, sometimes even hitting 120. I did see a cardiologist who said it was nothing, but I'm still worried. Can you help me figure out what might be going on or if there's anything I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent tachycardia. One common medication used to help lower heart rate is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting Metoprolol at a low dose, such as 25mg once daily, and then adjusting the dose as needed to help control your heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while on this medication.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia since 2012 and it's been pretty frustrating. I've done all sorts of tests and nothing seems to be working out. It's especially annoying with the tachycardia because whenever I start on medication, it works for a bit, then just stops being effective after a while. Right now, I'm taking a mix of meds including metoprolol 150mg (50mg three times a day), ntp 25mg, prazosin 5mg, diltiazem 90 Sr, cilnidipine 10mg, and losartan 50mg among others. This whole situation is starting to feel a bit hopeless. I'm curious if there's anything else I should be trying, or if there's some reason these meds lose effectiveness so quickly. Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.

I'm dealing with a right bundle branch block and experiencing some head dizziness that just won't go away. It's been really hard to focus at work because of these syncope episodes. Do you have any advice or remedies that might help with this?

It's important to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, to help manage your dizziness, you can try taking Betahistine (brand name: Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce dizziness. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, avoid sudden movements, and consider wearing compression stockings to improve blood flow. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical evaluation.
