I'm taking telvash h 40 for BP. Some times if goes up during hectic schedule even though I am taking regularly telvas h 40. I used a few day Arjunarista tab one in addition to the regular medicine i.e. Telvas H 40. I felt Arjunarista helped in controlling BP in hectic days. Can I take some times Arjunarista in addition to Telvas H. Kindly advise. Regards

Ans: Hello. It is the Amodep AT, the AT part that reduces the pulse rate, not Telma. You can change your medicines accordingly. Best to consult a physician either in person or online to get a new prescription.

Ans: It is Atenolol (AT) which is reducing the heart rate. I think you should stop Atenolol and restart Telma . Also get your thyroid functions tested

Ans: Hello. All the above is fine.

Ans: Shishir,
Your age and other comorbidities/health issues you may have are not clear to me. How much you weigh and your height etc are not known).
However, please remember that anti-hypertensive medications are always supportive to lifestyle modification. Please do following:
1. Get a comprehensive blood test done which should include lipid profile, kidney function test and thyroid profile etc.
2. Ensure your weight is within normal range: for male, ideal weight is height in cm- 100 . for example, if you are 170 cm then your weight should be 170-100 or 70 kg. Thus enusre you have weight in normal range.
3. Do lifestyle modifications. eat healthy- fruits and vegetables, reduce salt in diet and walk at least 30 min per day for atleast 5 days a week. No more than 2 days of break.
4. Monitor BP twice in a day and prepare a chart for 10 days.

Based upon this information, a personalised lifestyle modification can be done.

With this information, and for your routine check up, visit your physician on regular basis.
