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 a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm a 30-year-old with health anxiety and I've been tracking my heart rate. When I'm resting, it jumps between 50 and 65, but during sleep, it drops down to 48. However, whenever I stand up, my heart rate shoots up to over 100, sometimes even reaching 120. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about how much it fluctuates?
When standing, a heart rate above 100-120 beats per minute can be considered normal, especially if you are experiencing anxiety. However, it would be best to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your health anxiety. For anxiety, you can try relaxation techniques and therapy. In case of severe anxiety, medications like Sertraline (50mg daily) or Escitalopram (10mg daily) can be prescribed by a doctor.
