If the combination is benefiting you and as of now has not caused any electrolyte abnormalities, then please continue with it, because it is a very good combination. And remain in regular follow up with your doctors and ask them to advise you blood tests to keep a watch on electrolytes so that you can be assured.

Health Query

My father has been taking prescribed telista-40 since 10 years and recently he thinks it dsnt work for him so he started taking telista-ch 40 and he thinks it is lowering his bp better than telista. He is also diabetic. As telista ch is a combination of angiotensin receptor blocker and chlortalidone will not it cause any side effect to him?

There is no problem.
Chlorthalidone is diuretic.
It will control systolic blood pressure in better ways.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The values of blood glucose mentioned show that diabetes is fairly controlled. Ideally fasting should be <100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c%<7. As regards BP systolic should be a bit lower, closer to 130 mm. And diastolic closer to 80 mm. TGL level is high. We may have to give a closer look at all the drugs and see if anything can be improved. By simple modifying the lifestyle almost everything can be corrected. Regarding TGL some drug may be required. ...more

TMT Test - Why It Is Done In Diabetes?

Dr. Hanish Gupta90%(2011 ratings)

MBBS, DNB (General Medicine)

General Physician•Delhi

A Stress test is done by making you do exercises like walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike during an Electro Cardiogram or ECG. Sometimes, medication to stimulate your heart is used instead of exercise.

The stress test compares the circulation of blood in the heart when you are resting and when you are under optimum physical pressure. There are various types of stress tests, but the most common of them is the Treadmill Stress Test or TMT.

Why it s done?
