    Hi Simeon my husband has been detected with hypertension - is taking Altace 2.5mg daily. Initially once the medication started his BP was around 120-133/75-82, but suddenly for the past 2 days it is constantly high about 140/90. He is continuing his dose. Will appreciate if you can tell why the BP has risen even after the medication. Thanks, Soma.

    I have a question- Ever since I started taking diet pills, the area around my heart hurts after I workout. Is this because of the diet pills? If I stop taking them, will it go away?

    I went to a doctor to take the easy way out to losing weight and started taking phentermine. The PA told me to monitor my blood pressure while taking it. She failed to tell me that my blood pressure at the time of my initial appointment was 140/90 above borderline. (If I had known that I would have never taken it but went to my doctor to start treating my high blood pressure) About 1.5 weeks into it, I was feeling "fine" but got my b/p taken. The firefighters about loaded me up into their ambulance to rush me to the hosital, it was 170/100. I immediately stopped taking it, and it took a couple days to get back to border line. I am now being treated for high blood pressure and getting it under control, but don't take that chance. Eat right, exercise and lose a couple pounds a week.

    If you want to reduce your weight, you need to do a lot of exercise to accelerate your metabolism. It's better if you do cardiovascular exercise, because this kind of exercise helps you burn fat... You should begin with a good eating plan, combining fats and sweets with fruits and vegetables. It will be better if you drink at least eight glasses of water daily to control your calories and your cholesterol. If you want you can use some pills to control your weight and to accelerate the process of burning fat. I know some pills which you can use to reduce your weight. Those pills are Xenical. Its results are excellent and fast. Visit this website to find more information: http://www.todoenmedicamentos.com
