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've been feeling really nervous lately, and my heart starts beating really fast. Sometimes it even feels like there's a tremor in my heart. I'm really worried that my heart might be weak. Can you suggest any treatments or advice to help me with this heart issue?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as fast heart rate and tremors. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation can also be helpful in managing anxiety symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?

I've been having a headache on the right side of the back of my head lately and when I checked my blood pressure it was between 140-160 for systolic and 90-110 for diastolic over the past week. My pulse is around 80-85 and oxygen is at 99. I dont have any other medical issues but I recently moved to a new country and this started after I got here. Could this change in food and location be affecting my blood pressure? Before moving, I was drinking and eating out about three times a week for a couple of months. Could that have caused my blood pressure to spike? Im planning on seeing a cardiologist next week but would appreciate any advice you might have.
Based on the information provided, the spike in your blood pressure could be related to various factors such as stress, dietary changes, and lifestyle habits. It is possible that the change in food and location, as well as the previous indulgence in drinking and dining out frequently, may have contributed to the increase in your blood pressure. To help manage your blood pressure, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You can start by reducing your salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Additionally, if your cardiologist deems it necessary, they may prescribe medication to help lower your blood pressure. It's good that you have an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist, as they will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment plan after a thorough evaluation.
