Zoltab 40 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for female, 51 years old from Noida

I need a second opinion on hypertension treatment. I was recently detected with high bp and put on telma 40. However, after 3-4 days, my bp became rather low and after consulting doc, I switched to telma 20. However, then on the second day, I had sudden momentary black out and automatically feeling of anxiety and my bp shot up. Fyi, I also had vertigo 2 years ago. So, I went to another doctor, who is also a neurologist and he has prescribed olmesartan 20 + sos lopazun .25 for anxiety. Please advise if which line of treatment is better.

Hello!
Olmesartan is usually avoided in CKD for the fear of raising potassium levels. Take a second opinion.
Regards.

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.
A constitutional homoeopathic treatment will cure you permanently.
You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance

This is usual story of long lasting diabetes. As ckd advances blood sugar becomes normal or even low as most of the antidiabetic medicines are excreted through kidney and pt feels that his diabetes is cured and he does not need medicine.
Please take care of your ckd under supervision of a nephrologist.

Nothing is that critical but you need one md physician as creatinine just deranged, eoshinopil also just deranged.
They need regular follow up.

Health Query

I am 74+. Suffering from allergic rhinitis and occasionally having continuous sneezing. Running nose also starts. I am forced to take atarax 20 mg. But as I take the tablet 3 or 4 days no sneezing or running nose appears. Is it advisable to have such tablet with one interval every 3 or 4 days to remain ok. There is no cough or irritation. The local doctor has prescribed montelukast 10 mg once daily and I am also continuing like that. But occasional continuous sneezing & running nose does not stop until I take one atarax 20 mg at an interval of every 3 or 4 days. I have also htn and taking once daily amlopidine 5 mg with olmesartan medoxomil 40 mg and blood thinner ecosprin 75 daily as per advice of a cardiologist. I am also taking tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg daily as I have enlarged prostate. Will taking atarax 20 mg at an interval of every 3 or 4 days have bad health effect? What is the alternative?

Health Query

Dear Doctor, I am having diabetic and hypertension for the last 12 years. I am 51 years old. I am presently taking the following medicines: Glycomet GP 0.5 mg 2-0-2 Zita 100 mg 1-0-0 Atorva 10 0 -0-1 Olmax 40 1-0-0 Revelol am 5 /50 - 0-0-1 Presently on a recent checking my BP levels and cholestrol levels seems to be fine and normal. BP 90/130 Total Cholestrol : 118, Trigliceride: 127 ,LDL : 60 ,HDL :45. I presume my BP and cholestrol and BP levels are fine with these numbers. My concern is diabetics. Earlier 3 years back my medication was Pioglit 15 , after its so called ban, doctor changed the medicine to Glycomet GP 0.5 mg which i am using for the last three and half years. My fasting & pp sugar initially even after medication happens to be 130 / 170 levels. However during the last 4 months my sugar started shooting up , partly due to official preoccupations. My HbA1c levels are nearing 8 and morning fasting levels ( vary between 170 to 200) depending on the food what i take at night. Doctor asked me to increase the dosage of medicine and now i am using Glycomet GP 0.5 mg 2-0-2 instead of earlier 1-0-1. Zita i am using only 100 mg. I am not seeing any change in sugar levels. I s the combination right ? should i need to change it ? Please guide. Since i have a touring job for 15 days a month, i resort to outside food and i do walking. Please guide.
