I'm feeling really concerned because I've been having back, shoulder, and neck pain that even radiates to my chest for about a year now. My blood pressure was usually normal, but after doing some heavy stretching exercises yesterday, I suddenly got pain all over my body and my BP went up to 13493. I've seen an orthopedic doctor before who mentioned it might be myofascial pain. Should I be worried about the increase in my BP, or is this typical when you're in pain?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you are experiencing new symptoms like body aches. A reading of 13493 is slightly elevated and may be related to the recent increase in physical activity. However, it is recommended to keep an eye on your blood pressure and consult a doctor if it remains consistently high. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for your body aches.

I'm dealing with body pain every morning, and it's so hard for my mind to focus all day. I've been relying on Dolo 650 to get through, but now I feel like I can't live without it. I'm worried I'm becoming addicted. Are there other medications or ways to manage this pain and help my mind so I can have a better day-to-day experience without being dependent?

Using Benadon (diphenhydramine) without a medical issue is not recommended. Benadon is an antihistamine, not a heart-strengthening medication. It's essential to consult a doctor before taking any medication, especially if you're concerned about heart health or erectile dysfunction medication side effects.

I've just had my uric acid levels checked, and they're at 9.2. I'm wondering what precautions I should be taking with this? Also, is it okay to take calcium and vitamin supplements given this situation? I'm curious about what positive or negative effects they might have. Plus, my blood pressure is at 10050 is that something to be concerned about?

Follow a healthy diet plan that has mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and drinks, especially those that have high fructose corn syrup. Limit alcohol because it can increase uric acid levels in the blood and avoid short term diets for the same reason.Yes, calcium supplements can be taken by people with high uric acid, and calcium may even help lower uric acid levels
