I'm really worried about my mom's health since she hasn't been feeling too well lately. Could you suggest a comprehensive list of tests for a full body checkup to ensure everything's okay with her health?

The probable cause of your mother's sudden high blood pressure (BP) spike could be: 1. Medication non-adherence or resistance 2. Underlying kidney disease or artery stiffness 3. Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid disorders) 4. Sleep apnea or poor sleep quality 5. Increased sodium intake or fluid retention 6. Stress or anxiety 7. Secondary hypertension due to another medical condition

Question

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it's measuring at 146 over 95. I'm starting to get a bit worried this might be a sign of hypertension. Should I be considering medication to get it under control, or would it be better to consult with a general physician first to figure out the best course of action?

Question

I'm wondering if there's anything wrong with taking multivitamin supplements without a prescription. I'm an IT professional and generally keep a balanced diet, steering clear of oily junk foods and focusing on protein and veggies. But I'm concerned that I might not be getting all my vitamin requirements from my food. Would taking a multivitamin daily fill in those gaps?
