After recovering from COVID over a month ago, I've noticed my blood pressure has been consistently high, ranging between 145-165. I've been really disciplined with my diet and make sure to walk twice a day for 30 to 40 minutes. Is this high BP normal for someone in my situation, or could there be something else going on health-wise? What do you think?

After recovering from COVID-19, it is not uncommon for some patients to experience fluctuations in their blood pressure. In your case, with a consistently elevated blood pressure ranging between 145-165, it is important to monitor this closely. Since you are following a strict diet and exercise routine, there may be an underlying issue causing this spike. Considering your history of high blood pressure, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try incorporating medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Additionally, continue with your healthy lifestyle habits and monitor your blood pressure regularly.

View allI'm on Crestor 40mg and Ezetrol 10mg for my cholesterol, and here's what my latest results show: Total Cholesterol is 4.25, LDL is 2.5, HDL is 0.93, and Triglyceride is 1.82, all in mmol unit. Lately, I've been feeling really fatigued and I suspect it might be muscle pain or tiredness from the statins. I've lost some focus too. I'm thinking of reducing my statin dosage. Could you give me some advice on what to do about this?
Based on your symptoms of fatigue, muscle pain, tiredness, and difficulty focusing, it is important to discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially reducing your statin medication. It is possible that these symptoms could be related to the statins you are taking. One option to consider is switching to a different statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Atorvastatin is another type of statin that may have a different side effect profile for you. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.
