I'm feeling really hot after eating a big meal like chicken fried rice, even when I'm in air conditioning. Could this be connected to my blood pressure medication? I'm quite worried. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Can be a common reaction due to the spices used in the dish. However, if you are feeling excessively hot even in an air-conditioned environment and you are on blood pressure medication, it could be related to your medication. Some blood pressure medications can cause side effects such as flushing or feeling hot. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you experience persistent symptoms.

I'm really worried because I fainted like 45 times yesterday while I was with my boyfriend. It all started when I suddenly passed out while hugging and kissing him. He managed to wake me up each time and even gave me some chocolate to eat, but I kept fainting again after a few minutes. The whole time, he was holding me and trying to calm me down. I hadn't eaten anything since last night, except for a cup of milk then and another one this morning. Could this be because I didn't eat enough, or is it something more serious?

You experienced repeated fainting spells (syncope) while hugging and kissing your boyfriend. Possible causes: Medical Conditions 1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Lack of food intake, especially after milk consumption. 2. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake. 3. Anxiety or stress: Emotional distress. 4. Cardiovascular issues: Rare, but possible

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telpres 40 for her blood pressure, but it's still 170100. It's been sticking around 150100 for a while now. I'm not sure what to do, could you give some advice?

Along with telpres 40 other medicines need to be added, after clinical evaluation.
