One of my friend lost his life due heart attack at the age of 41. He was very clean, meaning no smoking, drinking etc. He omitted and died on the spot. Does sudden increase in BP is the cause of heart attack. I did fainted a month ago, I never had any BP issues earlier, but that day was something different. After check i was told i have mild hypertention, doctor prescribed medicine Telmisartan 20 mg.

Iam 45 year old woman, working i have recently developed High BP which varies between 90-95/130-140. But i face no problem because of high bp, i have no symptoms of it. My lipid profile and other test are normal. do i need to start medication

Dear Dr.Hadge, I am 58 years old, non alcoholic & non smoker. My recently conducted StressEcho is found negative. Moreover, I am a daily walker (5 km in 50 minutes) and very limited intake of salt. To control hypertension, I am on Metaprolol(25 mg/evening) and Telmisartan (20 mg/morning). Also taking Thyronorm(25 mch) and atorvas(10 mg) daily. On the advise of Cardiologist, I have reduced dose of Telmisartan to 20 mg (earlier it was Telma-H/40mg) however still experiencing low BP (some time in the range of 100-60). Please guide how to mange BP and Cholesterol for a long term. Also guide how to avoid occurrence of any cardiac complications since we have genetic history (paternal side) of cardiac arrest/death.
