Summary

Routine monthly check for BP and sugar. Sugar is improving. BP is slightly high, so one medicine dose was increased.

What the doctor found

  • BP 142/88 at the clinic, slightly above target.
  • Fasting sugar 124 mg/dL, better than last month (138).
  • Weight 74.8 kg, down 0.7 kg.
  • Knee pain on stairs, but no swelling.

What changed

  • Telmisartan: 40 mg → 80 mg, once after breakfast.
  • Metformin 500 mg: no change, still after breakfast and after dinner.
  • Calcium + Vitamin D3: continue for 3 more months.

What to do

  • Check BP 3 times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri mornings).
  • Keep salt low and avoid pickles and papad.
  • Walk 30 minutes daily on flat ground, and avoid stairs where possible.
  • Go to the doctor right away if there is dizziness or a headache that won't go away.

Your questions

  1. "Can Papa keep taking the ayurvedic powder?"

The doctor said to stop it for now and bring the packet next time.

  1. "Is the knee pain serious?"

The doctor said it's age-related wear. Continue the gel and exercises, and see an ortho if it gets worse.

Medicines bought

  1. Telmisartan 80 mg (30 tabs).
  2. Metformin 500 mg (60 tabs).
