Re: Blood pressure

My brother's age 45 has high BP problem. Initially took telmisartan 40 mg, now reduced to 20 mg and BP is somewhat controlled with this medicine. But, yesterday night during sleep his BP was low and went down to 70/40. Is it normal? or should be consulted with doctor on this issue? Thank you for your kind suggestion.

Blood Pressure and Uric Acid

Will Telmisartan or Cilnidipine increase Uric Acid in blood. I am taking both medicines for hypertension and always the Serum Uric Acid level is above 7.5 ( reached upto 9 ) ( even after restricting purine rich food). This is being checked due to pain in Ankles and other small joints. Kindly suggest.

Need Advice on BP med dosage

I have labile hypertension and suffered a high bp episode about a month ago (180/100). I was on inderal 20 mg a day. Such episodes had happened whenever I had burping and reflux and it was the same that time also. The doc said it was due to anxiety and got me to do a treadmill which showed heart in good condition but bp hit a max of 190/110. Doc switched me to telmisartan + thiazide 40 mg twice a day. The bp has stabilized well for a month now and shows mostly around 105/65. I have also controlled acid reflux by changing to bland diet. Can I just lower my dosage of telmisartan to 40 mg a day henceforth? Is there anything else I need to check?
