Yes you can switch to losartan and cilnidipine.
Losartan has benefits in reducing uric acid also. It will control bp and prevent remodeling of heart too. Adding cildnipine will further help to control bp by dilating blood vessels and reducing work load on heart.
The mainstay of treatment for lvh with diastolic dysfunction is ace/arbs, diuretics, ccbs and beta blockers!
beta blockers may later be added if needed!

Doctors generally begin by treating epilepsy with medication. If medications don't treat the condition, doctors may propose surgery or another type of treatment.
Finding the right medication and dosage can be complex.
At least half the people newly diagnosed with epilepsy will become seizure-free with their first medication. If anti-epileptic medications don't provide satisfactory results, doctor may suggest surgery or other therapies.
You may need to discuss it in detail including t...more

I'm 22 years old and a medical student with a little sedentary lifestyle and bmi of 27 and was diagnosed with essential hypertension a month ago, my readings were 160/98 mm hg with the heart rate of 145 at that time (i can assure I was quite anxious while measurement.) echocardiography revealed mild rvoto and trivial tr which the cardiologist told me of being congenital and not life-threatening. Ecg revealed sinus tachycardia. Other reports ct angiography, usg abdomen, chest x-ray and all blood reports namely were normal, except ldl was borderline. I was on medication for a month with nebykare am (nebivolol and amlodipine) and clavilip (clopidogrel and atorvastatin). I monitored the bp at home daily and it was near normal every time. On follow-up, I was told that essential hypertension meds are lifelong which I don't intend to follow, although I know that lifestyle modifications may help me discontinue the medication gradually. I have no issues continuing nebycare am, but clavilip is causing me worry because I don't wanna take clopidogrel and atorvastatin if risks of side effects outweigh benefits. Can I please know your opinion about it, sir? Ps: my total cholesterol: 190 mg/dl, hdl: 58 mg/dl, ldl: 139 mg/dl. And my hb: 16.8 g/dl, platelet count: 392000/dl.

There is no indication for clavilip in your case. Continue anti htn though. Ldl doesn't mandate use of statins.

It is an anti seizure medication and since under price control not easily available. It is safe to take that under medical supervision and regular tests. All the best.

Hello doctor, I am a 54 years old male. I was detected with hyperthyroidism for the first time when I was about 32 yrs. And was on carbimazole at min. Dose for few years before I happened to see a homeopath whose prescribed medicines effectively controlled my thyroidism. Eventually I didn't require to take any medicines for next few years without any issue before developing the symptoms again with abnormal lab test parameters and severe weight loss. That required me to start carbimazole again at moderate dose to regain my lost weight and continued with the min. Dose to maintain the condition thereafter. About three years back, I started to lose weight again and continued to lose after losing about 10 kg. So I had to increase my dose and followed a diet prescribed by my nutritionist and regained most of the lost weight within few months. Recently about a year back, I started to lose weight again and I increased the dose to offset the weight loss. But a recent lab test shows my tsh level as way too high. I don't remember of having my tsh level ever so high, in fact it was mostly very low, beyond measure. So my doctor obviously asked me to stop the carbimazole immediately for about 2 months before doing the lab test again for the results. My doctor explained that since my hyperthyroidism is a chronic condition which is an autoimmune disorder that might reverse the condition after some years. Well, I have lost more than 10 kg this time too. Please be informed that I am taking vitamin d as well and I use to take that occasionally since last few years. I have also been taking a tablet of nebivolol 5 mg daily to control my high blood pressure for almost 10 years. My cholesterol parameters have been high although the triglyceride is normal for several years but I am not advised for any medicine for that rather I try to follow the restrictions. Please suggest me the course of treatment as well as diet plan and do's and don'ts to regain my weight quickly. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of actual TSH and T4 levels and even the dosage of Carbimazole. Based on whatever stated in the details, the reason for high TSH is excessive dosage of Carbimazole . Normal TSH expected to be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L at which level most of the symptoms related to thyroid conditions are absent.
Another aspect which is very important point is in case of hyperthyroidism in quite a few patients ...more

Thanks for the query.
Usually if BP is well controlled with a single drug, then there is no need for additional drugs. But in your case doctor has already recommended Telmisartan, Chlotiazide and a beta blocker, means there is need for these drugs. Since no readings are mentioned, it is difficult to comment. Thanks.

Dear Lybrateuser, - Pulse rate between 60-100 beats per min is normal, if it is persistently below 60 then consult your treating physician regarding any change in dose or medication.

Raised blood pressure is not a disease in itself. It is just a sign of some underlying disorder. Homeopathy offers good prognosis for cases of essential hypertension. The treatment is based upon the cause and the totality of the case.
