Blood Pressure
In Feb'26 I got stressed out and became very anxious. I was put on Concor 2.5mg. All test 2D Echo and ECG were done and normal. Then at the same time I developed a UTI infection and after I got better I was put on Concor 5T as in the doctor office my BP went 150/100 whereas at home it has been 115-145/72-86 in that range, Now my BP is always between 110-118/62-76. I have been taking Concor 5T since a month now. Can I reduce and completely stop the medication as I never had BP before in my life, only during the time of my anxiousness it went up and only whenever my BP is checked at a doctor's place it goes up with the fear.
Inconsistent stool
The first part of my stool comes out on its own without much straining and is of normal thickness. However, after sitting for a while and applying slight pressure, the remaining stool that comes out is noticeably thinner. There is no bleeding and I do not have any significant pain or discomfort. However, when I strain more during bowel movements, a small reddish fleshy tissue protrudes slightly from the anus. It goes back inside automatically when I stop straining. I am taking 1 tsp isabgol husk 2 or 3 times in a week. A few weeks ago I visited a surgeon and the DRE was normal (within limits).
Possible bat or anything
Yesterday i post about while I was sitting on a back seat of a riding bike at night. Something black colour thing came from above floor level and touch my cheeks and went. And there was no bite and scratch and pain. So i doubt if it was a bat exposure, most of the doctors here said that i should get vaccinated. But I consult two physician doctors here in Bangalore and they said my face is ok and don't suggest any vaccine. Since I am concerned about the doctor's opinions here and the two consult doctors opinions, i am very nervous. What should I do ? Should I take the vaccine as the incident was on Sunday night around 9 o clock. My family not supporting to take vaccine as no Mark found.
