Question 1

I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

do one chest xray

Question 2

I'm just wondering if masturbation has any negative effects for someone with atrial fibrillation and hyperthyroidism. After I masturbate at night, I notice my pulse and blood pressure seem high even the next morning. Could these be linked?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 3

My mom's been having issues with her high BP lately. She was on Telsartan 50 earlier, and then the doctor switched her to Amlip 5 about four months ago. It seemed okay at first, but now her BP is getting out of hand again. I'm really worried and wondering what could be causing this. Could it be that Amlip 5 isn't as effective for her as Telsartan was, or could something else be affecting her BP levels?

I'm 20 and have had high BP for a year now. I used to take Metosartan 5040 but my doctor just switched it to Stamlo Beta. Is this a good change for me?
