Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Usually in subclinical hypothyroidism no treatment is advocated, unlee there are troubling or disturbing symptoms related to hypothyroidism. So in first place there should have been no thyroxine given. Since she was given 25 mcg, the TSH has gone down below normal. So the doctor has asked you to stop it. My subscription is stop treating now, then check TSH after 8 weeks. Then inform, if the level goes above 10 mU/L, then only treatment is needed. Otherwise...more

Asked for male, 19 years old from Kolkata

M18, I have stage 2 hypertension, previously took telmisartan 20 mg for one month which showed little improvement (only -10), then the same doctor started telmisartan (20) + chlorthalidone (6.25). Now another doctor (different speciality though) whom I originally had consulted for some other issues gave me telmisartan 40 mg also. Different medication though I did told him about my prior medications. So my question is which one should I continue? Telmisartan at higher dosage than before or telmisartan + chlorthalidone? Or either one is fine?

Both are good choices. My preference is for telmisartan single drug treatment for young person
what other care are you taking for high bp? Tests, diet etc. Maybe take an online consult if you want more details and thorough opinion.

Yes it is safe to use these medicines in diabetic. But what is reason for swelling. If not investigated then get her tests done. With these medicines and in elderly keep checking her electrolytes periodically.

1.amlodepine, losartan and hctz are antihypertensives. 2.metoprolol is usually added for cardioprotection (there must be an ecg abnormality).
3. Nitroquick is to relieve anginal chest pain.
4. Ejection fraction is slightly on the lower side for a young adult. Can be normal for an old person.
5. Clopidogrel is a anti platelet drug. If you can forward me the details of the patient - age, sex, height, weight, ecg picture and echo report - I ll be able to advice you on the treatment. Mos...more
