Question

My mom has high blood pressure, and her recent reading was 14090. She's been taking AMTAS daily to manage it, but I'm worried if that reading is still too high. Should we be adjusting her medication or doing something different to get it under control?

Question

My mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

Question

I've been struggling with this issue for about two years now, and I'm really hoping for some insight. I'm a 27-year-old I.T. professional and this all started with sudden bouts of dizziness and sweating. I've gone through all the usual tests, like MRI and blood work, and the only thing that came up was a low B12 level at 83. Over time, I've begun feeling detached, and my doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. The problem hasnt gone away though, and now I sometimes experience fluttering, dizziness, and vomiting. It feels like I might faint, but I never actually do. I've had TMT and ECG tests twice, and both were normal. I worry it could be some kind of arrhythmia, but during these episodes, my heart rate seems stable with no major changes. It's confusing because these episodes don't seem linked to stress and only last a few seconds. I'm really anxious about this and just looking for a professional perspective on what's happening.
