Perfect numbers morning but worst later

Hi! I have reactive high bp for years now- taking telmisartan 40 mg- my best bp readings are in the morning- stress free clear mind but as day progresses the bp shoots n stays around 135/85 till evening n heart rate can rise high esp if i walk around - yesterday it was 125/130 while doing normal house work Doctor not giving any extra med since it will lower the true baseline of morning- Will exercise n weight loss help to reduce this!

Weight Loss Resistance

I am a 28-year-old with Thyroid and a BMI of 32.0. I have been taking 50mcg of Thyroxine for one month, and my TSH is shigh at 10.5 mIU/L, and my HbA1c is 6.0%. Despite being physically active with swimming and recently started gyming, I am experiencing complete weight loss resistance and a high Visceral Fat level of 18. My biggest struggle right now is that I feel I have absolutely no control over my hunger; I experience intense 'food noise' and the urge to binge even immediately after eating full meals. I recently completed my Vitamin D treatment, but my metabolism feels completely stalled. I would like to know if my thyroid dose needs to be increased and if I am a candidate for Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) to help manage this uncontrollable hunger ?? I really want to lose weight as I'm out of energy and all day I feel inactive and sleepy

Rabies Shot again?

Hi Doctor, I took anti-rabies booster doses on 14th and 17th March 2026 along with a tetanus shot on 14th March, and today (31st March) my pet cat (last vaccinated in Dec 2024, currently normal) bit and scratched me during a fight with another cat....causing a bleeding puncture wound (poked hole); I immediately washed with soap and applied Betadine—do I need additional anti-rabies vaccination or am I already protected?
