This sensation is known as pulsatile tinnitus and can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow near the abdomen. I recommend you to consult with a doctor for further evaluation. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any discomfort.

Question

I'm a 28-year-old male, and I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. It's been about a week now, and I'm starting to find that I'm having a bit of trouble with breathing and noticing my heartbeat more. Sometimes it feels like my heart skips a beat, and occasionally I feel like my heart is struggling to pump. What kind of diet and exercise would be good for my condition?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with hypertension for the past 8 years, and now she's caught a cold and has a cough. The doctor recommended she take Azithromycin 500 for five days. My question is, is it okay for her to mix this antibiotic with her blood pressure meds? I'm not sure if there's any interaction or something that we should be concerned about.
