I'm really worried about my mom. She's got sciatica, and the pain was just unbearable this morning, so she went to see a doctor. He gave her Pregabalin and Mecobalamin capsules to take. I totally get that the doctor knows his stuff, but I'm just a bit concerned since she also has high blood pressure. Are these capsules safe for her to take? I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance.

yes continue the medications ..

I've been dealing with some issues after testing positive for COVID-19 back in September. Initially, I only lost my taste and smell, and while I did test negative after two weeks, I'm still having trouble. It's been over a month now, and although my sense of taste is slowly coming back, it's nowhere near normal. Plus, I keep getting headaches. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how to recover fully?

That needs further evaluation,visit neurophysician for the same and appropriate management
