question:Hi..my blood pressure was 140/90. for emergency, i ate stamlo 10. People said if the medicine is once taken,then you have to continue.Is this true? I got scared. I ate only once. If i control my diet,will my blood pressure fall if i dont continue taking the medicine?? My main question is will the one dose of stamlo 10 affect or increase my blood pressure for the rest of my life?
answer:First of all you check youf bp repetedly for three to four times. If it remains high then start salt restricted diet and rdgular exercise. if still it remains high ghen go for antihypertensive drug. One dose not affect much.you should take ig regularly once started.and you should continue life time.consult phsician to set the dose according to your bp.

Thanks
answer:There are many causes of low wbc starting from simple viral infection to life threatening apastic anemia.and same from platelets. You have head rashs so your platelets might be on lower side. You shoud do complete blood count and peripheral smear examination to search for the cause.and then take treatment according to causes.
