I'm feeling like my head's really heavy almost all the time, and it just gets worse after I eat. My blood pressure's at 150 over 90. Could you suggest any medication for this?

Delayed periods after chickenpox can be concerning. Given your regular diet and no other apparent issues, let's explore possible reasons:
Possible Causes
- Hormonal imbalance: Chickenpox can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods.
- Stress and infection: The physical stress of fighting off the chickenpox virus can affect your menstrual cycle.
- Temporary amenorrhea: Some women experience temporary amenorrhea (absence of periods) after a viral infection like chickenpox.
What to Expect
- Wait for another week: If you've already missed your period by a week, wait for another week to see if your period starts naturally.
- Take a pregnancy test: If you've had unprotected sex, take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delayed period.
- Consult a gynecologist: If your period doesn't start after another week or if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other concerning symptoms, consult a gynecologist for guidance.
Self-Care
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from the infection.
- Maintain a balanced diet: Continue eating a nutritious diet to support your overall health.
- Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with pain in his left arm for over six years now, and at first, he was diagnosed just with hypertension. But after some more tests, they found out he has angina. The doctor recommended he take medication for about 23 weeks and then get an angiography. I'm wondering if we definitely need to go through with the angiography, or is there another way to handle this? And how serious is his condition?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the need for angiography, as it is a procedure that can provide valuable information about the condition of the heart and blood vessels. In the meantime, to manage angina, your father can take medications such as Nitroglycerin to relieve chest pain and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Aspirin and Beta-blockers can help reduce the workload on the heart and prevent further complications. It is important to continue monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well. Angina is a serious condition that requires proper management and monitoring to prevent complications such as heart attack.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health after her recent checkup. She's got this LDL cholesterol level of 232, and the echocardiogram showed something called Trivial TR Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. They also mentioned LVEF at 62 and that the TMT was positive for inducible ischemia. She's 49, doesn't have blood pressure or sugar issues, but the doctor suggested an angiogram to look further into it. I'm wondering if it's really necessary?
yes angiogram is advised to the patient..
