ADVICE REGARDING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND VARIOUS LABORATORY BLOOD RESULTS
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
Firstly, you have done a complete set of blood investigations and that is very good because any problem could be detected from the above and appropriate measures can be taken.
From the above investigations, i have shortlisted some values which need to be carefully monitored-
1.HbA1C value which is at a risk of future diabetes
2.Lipid profile, mainly cholesterol and VLDL levels which are not higher than normal but at an alarming level
3.T4 value which is slightly elevated
for the above, i would suggest you the following-
1.Take fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid more of fatty food and junk food, also take less starch and sweets.
2.You have not mentioned your weight and height, you can be overweight and try to reduce weight.
3.Avoid food with high iodine content like seafood, sea salt etc
4.Start doing exercises regularly, even brisk walking for half an hour a day will help.
5.Get your lipid profile, PPBS, HbA1c and T4/TSH done after 4-6 months.
6.Start taking tab atorvastatin 10 once daily after dinner.
7.Take tab pantoprazole-domperidone combination once daily before breakfast.
You have asked about T4 levels. It is slightly elevated but it cannot be stamped as hyperthyroidism, i have asked you to take reduced iodine containing food. Hopefully, it will help to keep it under control, after the next test results come we can plan what to do accordingly.
And regarding your anxiety and palpitations, you need to continue taking metoprolol and alprax regularly and it will be better eventually.
You can also take some multivitamin syrup twice daily. This will help you to regain your energy.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
Do you think it needs some more time for me to get the real benefits. Also, is 25 MG of metoprolol a high dose for me.thanks
pantoprazole for better digestion, atorvastatin for high cholesterol
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Yes, definitely you should know about the medications i suggested.
Atorvastatin is given to combat your slightly high cholesterol and VLDL. It serves more as a prophylactic drug.
And the pantoprazole-domperidone combination is prescribed for better metabolism and digestion and to combat mild dizziness and nausea.
Also, metoprolol 25 is not a high dose. It can be given. But it depends on your prescribing doctor. I suggest you to contact him.
I might add you to take salt restricted diet too.
Hope this was helpful.
Regards
