I'm feeling really worried because my blood pressure is extremely high and it's just not coming down to normal levels. I've been taking cardace 5mg, but it doesn't seem to be working. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something else to manage my blood pressure?

I've been having this chest pain on the right side near my shoulder for a couple of months now. I saw a doctor near my place, and he checked me out, saying there's nothing to worry about, but the pain is still bothering me. He gave me some medicine called UGESIC 20mg and suggested I get an HB test. What could this pain mean, and should I be doing something more or different?

I'm really curious and a bit concerned about something that's been happening to me lately. Every time I finish my lunch, it feels like my heart starts racing more than usual. It's really noticeable, and it only happens after I eat a meal. Just to give you a bit of context, I'm a 53-year-old woman, and I do have a history of thyroid problems. Could this be related, or is there another reason why my heart speeds up after eating?

This could be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia, which is a rapid heart rate that occurs after eating. In your case, with a history of thyroid issues, it could be related to thyroid dysfunction affecting your heart rate. I recommend consulting with your doctor to adjust your thyroid medication if needed. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before meals to help control your heart rate after eating.
