View allI've just turned 38 and I'm on Eslo 5 mg for my blood pressure. Lately, though, I've noticed my readings creeping up to around 15090. Should I be worried about this, and is there something I should do to get it back under control?
If your blood pressure is consistently high even after taking Eslo 5mg, it may be time to increase your medication. Visit your regular physician for recalibration of anti-hypertensive medication. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise of about 30 minutes everyday and cessation of smokingdrinking may be helpful. Opting for a DASH diet may also help control hypertension.

I'm really concerned about my father who is 56 and had pneumonia during his COVID infection. Although he's now COVID-negative, he's been prescribed Voritrol 200mg. I'm worried because he had a stent placed four years ago, is on blood thinners, and also has diabetes. Can you tell me if it's safe for him to take Voritrol given his medical history?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm feeling a little disturbance on the left side of my chest, and it's making me really anxious. I'm only 28 years old, and this has gotten me worried. What could be causing this? Can you give me some advice?
could be due to various reasons, such as muscle strain, indigestion, anxiety, or even heart-related issues. Since you are only 28 years old, it is less likely to be related to heart problems, but it is still important to get it checked out to rule out any serious issues. You can take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for indigestion or try to relax and practice deep breathing exercises for anxiety. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
