I'm a bit worried about my health and would appreciate some advice. Recently, I've managed to reduce my high blood pressure in just 12 days, which is great, but now I'm experiencing some weird symptoms. Occasionally, I have this sharp chest pain on the left side that feels like I'm being poked with a needle. Sometimes it switches to the right side, and drinking water seems to trigger a bit of pain too. It feels like something's touching my chest inside. My shoulder also feels uncomfortable at times. I've also been passing a lot of gas and sometimes my throat feels really full. These symptoms are similar to what I experienced about two months ago. Does this sound like something serious?

The symptoms you describe, including high blood pressure, chest pain, shoulder discomfort, excessive gas, and a sensation of fullness in the throat, could be due to a combination of gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal factors, possibly exacerbated by anxiety. Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain and discomfort, while musculoskeletal issues could explain the needle-like pain and shoulder discomfort. To manage these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider to rule out serious conditions and confirm a diagnosis. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, stress reduction, and avoiding large or spicy meals, as well as medication like antacids for GERD and pain relievers for musculoskeletal pain. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly and following your doctor's advice on managing it is also important.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with high BP for the last 15 days, even though she regularly takes her medication. About two weeks ago, she woke up with her left eye really red, and the doctors said her BP was at 100180. She's been on Amlopres 5 mg for BP for 25 years and Ecosprin 75 mg to thin her blood for 5-6 years. The doctors recently switched her meds to CTDT 6.2540 mg in the morning and Cildip 5 mg in the evening for BP, along with Clodrel 75 for blood thinning. What could be causing her BP to spike like this, and is there a way to get it under control?
Excessive masturbation (4-5 times a day) can lead to mental fatigue, decreased concentration, and increased stress and anxiety. It can also cause feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. Desensitization to pleasure and potential erectile dysfunction are possible risks. Additionally, excessive masturbation can negatively impact relationships and daily life. It's essential to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.
