Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 43-year-old male with a history of hypertension for 20 years and diabetes for 10 years. I have been taking Telmisartan 80 H, Supermet XL 50 , Glimepiride 2 mg in the morning, and Metformin 1 Gm SR at dinner. Until last year, my HbA1c was below 6 %, and I was quite active, playing every evening. However, for the last four to five months, I have had a sedentary lifestyle and have not been following any restricted diet. Last month, I experienced symptoms like increased urination and some weight loss, and my fasting test showed a reading of 208 mg/dL, with a BP of 130/80 mmHg. I started exercising, following a diet, and added Metformin and Glimepiride 2 mg at breakfast. My fasting test results for the last two tests have been around 135 mg/dL, and my BP medicine was changed to Telmisartan 80 without Hydrochlorothiazide. Metoprolol 50 was altered to Amlodipine 5 mg, and my BP is now 110/70 mmHg. I also have non-alcoholic fatty liver grade 2 and TSH of 10 mIU/mL, but T3 and T4 are normal. Normally, my triglycerides are raised, and sometimes LDL is raised too, and I take Atorvastatin 10 mg for it. Please suggest. Thanking you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. I suggest you get physically examined and investigated to rule out any medical conditions and treat them accordingly. Diet modification is also needed. For details on a diet, please follow up, mention your weight, and attach fresh investigation reports to guide you appropriately. Maintain an active lifestyle. Try doing wall yoga exercises which can help with the condition. I hope this helps. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
