View allMy dad's been on Gardenal for nearly 10 years now, and since he's been taking it regularly, he hasn't had any seizures for a long time. A couple of days ago, he had an angiogram and they found out he has triple valve disease. We've been told to figure out whether he should keep taking Gardenal or if it's okay to stop. Any advice or thoughts on this would be really helpful?
There is no indication to stop the medicine continue the medication and follow your doctors advice for triple vessle disease

I've been taking Tazloc CT 40 for the past three weeks, but today when I checked my blood pressure in the evening, it was 150100. I'm really worried because it hasn't gone down. What could be going on?
Tazloc CT 40 contains Telmisartan 40mg and Chlorthalidone 12.5mg. If your blood pressure is still high despite taking Tazloc CT 40 for 3 weeks, you may need a higher dose or an additional medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

Can drinking lots of water lower blood pressure?
Drinking water has role in blood pressure maintenance. When a person is dehydrated BP drops initially but later on kidneys reabsorbs more water rather than excreting in urine and vasopressin is released which constricts the blood vessels, both together can increase blood pressure. Hence, every person should drink at least 3 liters of water in a day to prevent dehydration and to maintain BP. One should also note that excess water intake should also be avoided which can put more stress on heart and cause fluid retention in the body.
