I'm a bit worried because my heart rate has been consistently between 105 and 110 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. It's been like this for the last 20 days. Can you tell me what's going on and if I should be concerned?

View allI'm really worried because for the past week I've been experiencing heaviness in my chest, my left arm feels strange, and I've even had some episodes where I've felt unconscious and really anxious. It's getting to the point where I can't sleep at night. Do you think there's something serious going on, and what should I do about it?

My mother-in-law is 65 and she's really struggling with high blood pressure that just won't seem to get under control, even though she's on a high dose of BP meds. Her echo and ECG came back normal, and all her blood tests look good except for high cholesterol. She's taking Rosuvas for that. I'm really worriedwhat else can she do to get her blood pressure in check?
Given that your mother-in-law's high blood pressure is not well controlled despite high doses of medication, it is essential to re-evaluate her treatment plan with her healthcare provider. Sometimes, resistant hypertension requires a combination of medications from different classes. These may include ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs, like losartan), calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine), diuretics (like hydrochlorothiazide), and beta-blockers (like metoprolol). Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a low-sodium diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake are important. Please consult her healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan that may include adjusting her current medications or adding new ones.

I've been dealing with high BP for about 8 months now. I was taking Stamlo 5 but it didn't really get it under control. So last month, I added Telma 20 to the mix and it's helped a bit with the numbers, which are now around 180185. But lately, I've been having these episodes where I can't catch my breath for a few seconds, and it feels like my heart suddenly skips a beat. It's kind of worrying and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could this be related to my medication or is it something else?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
