A resting heart rate of 120 beats per minute is elevated and deserves professional attention. This increase can sometimes happen as the body adjusts to lower blood pressure, or it could be related to mild dehydration from the diuretic component of her medication. She should not start any new medications without a doctor's guidance. Please encourage her to contact her prescribing doctor soon. They can safely evaluate her heart rate, check her hydration, and decide if any treatment adjustments are needed to keep her comfortable and healthy.

She may take paracetamol to reduce the fever, following the recommended dose on the package. Avoid ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without consulting her doctor, as they may affect her blood pressure, blood sugar, and kidney function. If her fever persists beyond 2-3 days or she develops other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

It is generally very safe and highly recommended to get your vaccines while taking Telista H (telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide) for your blood pressure. This medication will not interfere with how the vaccine works, nor will the vaccine affect your blood pressure control. As a simple precaution, try to stay well-hydrated before and after your vaccination, as Telista H contains a mild diuretic. You might experience common, temporary side effects like a sore arm or mild fever, which are normal signs your body is building immunity. Please share your medication list with your vaccine provider, and continue taking your blood pressure medicine as prescribed.
