Can he safely take Zenegra Red 100 before sex if his only health concern is blood pressure? Just wondering if taking a single pill might cause any issues.

I've been experiencing this weird sensation where I can feel my heartbeat or pulse when I'm lying down on my pillow. It usually happens in the side of my neck or at the back of my head. This has been going on for about three months now. I've had an ECG and an echo, and they were normal, except the ECG showed sinus tachycardia. I also got a thyroid test, which came back normal. My blood pressure is fine too, and I dont have any other symptoms. Its just strange that it only happens when Im lying down. I did have COVID nine months ago, but that feels like ages ago now. What should I do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be concerning. Since your ECG and echo were normal and your thyroid test was also normal, it is good news that there are no major issues detected so far. Sinus tachycardia can sometimes cause palpitations, especially when lying down. One possible next step could be to monitor your heart rate with a Holter monitor to see if there are any irregularities in your heart rhythm over a longer period of time. In the meantime, you can try to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and stress, as these can sometimes trigger palpitations. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?

start steam inhalation and if it still not resolved consult a pulmonologist

I've been noticing this weird thing where I can feel my pulse in my fingertips if I press them firmly on something hard. It's not all the time, and it doesn't hurt, but when I grip something and accidentally focus on it, I feel my heartbeatit's like a straight-up pulse. I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal. I've done all the heart tests, and they came back clear, but once my blood pressure shot up to 160118 due to stress from an injury. No other issues now, but it's still annoying, and I've consulted two GPs as well. Is this pulse sensation normal, or should I be concerned?

-It's generally normal to feel a pulse in your fingertips, especially if you press down on a hard surface or grip something tightly. The pulse you're feeling is likely just the natural blood flow, similar to what a pulse oximeter detects. Since you've had
