I'm feeling kind of giddy and faint since yesterday. My blood pressure from our home machine reads 103 over 65 and my pulse is 91. I'm also taking care of a one-year-old and not getting enough sleep, waking up frequently. Could these symptoms be related to the lack of sleep, and are my blood pressure and pulse readings considered normal?

Your symptoms of giddiness and fainting feeling could be related to your low blood pressure of 10365. The dizziness may also be exacerbated by lack of proper sleep due to taking care of your one-year-old baby. It is important to stay well-hydrated and ensure you are eating regularly to help maintain your blood pressure. To address the dizziness, you can try increasing your salt intake slightly and lying down with your legs elevated when you feel dizzy. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Fludrocortisone at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allIm dealing with a fever, cold, and sore throat. I'm wondering if I can take Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P for this. Are there any side effects I should worry about?
Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Paracetamol, which is primarily used for abdominal pain and cramps. It is not recommended for treating fever, cold, or sore throat. Meftal P, on the other hand, contains Paracetamol as the active ingredient, which is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. It would be more suitable for your symptoms. Taking Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P may not effectively address your current symptoms and could potentially lead to inadequate treatment. It is important to use the appropriate medication for your specific condition to avoid any complications.
