Impact of Sleep on Blood Pressure:

View allI'm a little worried about using Benadon tablets. Is it safe to take them without any issues? I've been feeling like the medication I'm using for erectile dysfunction might be affecting my heart, making it feel weaker. Can Benadon help strengthen my heart, or is there another supplement or something else you'd recommend?
Concerning symptoms! Considering your mom's diabetes and numbness symptoms, consult: 1. *Diabetologist*: To rule out diabetes-related complications, such as neuropathy. 2. *Neurologist*: To investigate potential nerve damage or disorders. 3. *General Physician*: For a thorough check-up and referral to a specialist if needed. Before consulting the doctor: 1. Monitor your mom's blood sugar levels. 2. Keep a record of her symptoms, including when they occur and how long they last. 3. Note any other health issues or medications she's taking. Early diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

My mom's been having trouble with her breathing for a bit now, and we recently got an echo test done. They said her heart is bigger than normal and kinda weak, functioning at about 25% of what it should be. She's 50, has high blood pressure, and is a bit diabetic. I'm really worried about her. Do you think this is something we can fix? How serious is it? Should I be really alarmed?
Yes it is alarming since the heart functioning is only 25.., u may require an echo for further management and a cardiac opinion.

I've been having a bunch of symptoms lately that are starting to worry me. I feel like I'm always out of breath, and sometimes I get really dizzy out of nowhere. Fatigue has been a constant partner, and I've even fainted a couple of times, which is super scary. My head feels heavy, and I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep. On top of all that, I can't shake these negative thoughts and just feel so lazy all the time. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about, and what could be causing it?
