Your recent episode of losing consciousness is a serious warning sign and needs close medical follow-up. It may have been caused by very high blood pressure, a heart rhythm problem, or reduced blood flow to the brain, such as in a stroke. Your current blood pressure readings of 150 to 180 show that your blood pressure is not yet well controlled with Telma 20 mg (Telmisartan). Your doctor may need to change the dose or add another blood pressure medicine. Himalaya Serpina tablet (Sarpagandha) is an Ayurvedic medicine that may lower blood pressure in some people, but its effect is not always predictable. When taken with Telmisartan, it may sometimes lower blood pressure too much, increasing the risk of dizziness, weakness, or another fainting episode, especially after a recent collapse. It is not advisable to start Himalaya Serpina tablet on your own. Please consult your doctor so that your medicines can be adjusted safely and, if needed, further tests such as heart and brain checks can be performed.

🩺 Causes of Loss of Consciousness

Hypertensive crisis: Extremely high blood pressure causing brain dysfunction and loss of consciousness.
Cardiac arrest: Sudden heart stoppage leading to lack of blood flow to the brain.
Stroke: Interruption of blood supply to the brain causing neurological impairment and unconsciousness.

🩺 Blood Pressure Management

Blood pressure readings around 150-160, reaching 180, indicate poorly controlled hypertension, increasing risks for such serious events. Proper management is crucial to avoid complications like hypertensive crisis or stroke.

⚕️ Use of Himalaya Serpina with Telmisartan

Himalaya Serpina is an Ayurvedic product containing Rauwolfia (Sarpagandha) that may lower blood pressure and reduce anxiety. However, combining it with Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) without medical supervision can cause unwanted interactions or excessive blood pressure lowering.

🩺 Next Steps

Do not start Himalaya Serpina on your own. It is important to consult your cardiologist or hypertension specialist to evaluate your current treatment, consider adjustments, and safely discuss any add-on therapies. Immediate medical attention is advised if you experience fainting again or if blood pressure remains very high.

For emergencies like loss of consciousness or chest pain, call emergency services urgently.
