I'm a bit worried because my blood pressure has been high for a few days now. Even after taking two BP tablets, it hasn't returned to normal. Plus, I also have thyroid issues. What could be happening, and should I be doing something else?

I'm experiencing a high heart rate at intervals. What could be causing this? I don't have any symptoms related to COVID.

High heart rate in periodic breaks can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25mg) to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm really concerned about this irregular heartbeat I've been experiencing for the past three days. It feels like it's taking jerks, and sometimes it seems to get worse. Additionally, I've had a cough for the past two days. I'm worried and wondered if these symptoms are related. Could you let me know what might be causing this and if I should be worried?
