Question 1

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?

Accepted Answer

Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090*

This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is:

- Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg
- Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg

A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases.

*Regular Body Pain*

To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups:

1. *Complete Blood Count (CBC)*: To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions.
2. *Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)*: To measure inflammation in the body.
3. *C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test*: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions.
4. *Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs)*: To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain.
5. *Vitamin D levels*: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain.
6. *Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound)*: To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

Question 2

I had a CABG surgery back in 2006, and I've been on a bunch of medications since then, like Ecosprin Gold 20mg, Nebicard 2.5mg, Gelam AM 40mg, Nikoran 10, and Nitrocontin 6.4. Is it alright for me to take Nikoran and Nitrocontin at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications..

Question 3

I've noticed that whenever I eat food or refined oil, my blood pressure rises, and I feel this intense warmth inside my body. Plus, my hand nerves start beating at 100 beats per minute. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something more serious?

Accepted Answer

It could be a sign of a possible food sensitivity or intolerance. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to avoid foods that trigger these symptoms and consider taking medication.

I have high cholesterol and slightly elevated BP but I'm not on any medication for it - my surgery is scheduled for Friday and I'm a bit worried about how this might affect things should I be concerned
