Telma And Amlong

I had severe burning sensation on top of the head since mid November 2015. On 21/11/2015, my physician asked me to take Telsartan 40mg every morning as my BP was 178//100. Even after taking the tablets for one month, the burning in the head continued and on 23/12/2015, I visited a neuro physician who advised a CT scan of the head. The scan was normal but my BP was 180/114 and hence I was asked to meet the physician to bring down the BP immediately. The physician has prescribed Telma 40mg and Amlong, both to be taken twice a day. I am taking both these tablets twice a day since 23/12/2015. I checked the BP onn 4/1/2016 and 10/1/2016 and both times it was 120/80. However:

1. The burning on top of the head has not completely gone and i often feel this burning in the entire head sometimes.

2. I am feeling weak and sleepy and not energetic at all for the past 3-4 days.

Could it be side effects of medicine? Should I continue the same medicine for some more time or can I reduce the dosage?

Please advise.

Hello, Hema! How are you?

Given how high your blood pressure was, you should not reduce the dosage or stop taking the medications, unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so. What you've described can be typical side effects of these medications and they should improve with time, as your body gets used to them.

As listed by the U.S. FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, increased urination and hypotension.

The burning may be due to some sort of nerve damage and you may need to return to the neurologist for further evaluation.

Do you take any other medications?
