I've been dealing with high blood pressure and I'm taking my meds like met xl and CTD 6.25 regularly. My weight is fine at 51 kg and I haven't had any heart issues, but I'm really into the idea of starting to run in the mornings. Is it safe for me to do that with my high BP?

It is generally safe for individuals with high blood pressure to engage in aerobic exercises like running. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. Since you are already on medication for high BP (Met XL and CTD 6.25), your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or provide specific guidelines for exercising. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure before and after exercise, and to stay hydrated during your run.

Question

I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

Question

I've been getting some pain on both sides of my chest from time to time, and I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I had a chest X-ray recently and it came back normal, but can an X-ray really tell if there's something wrong with my heart or lungs? Would it show everything that's important, or should I be looking into other tests or something?
