I'm Mukesh and I've been dealing with some health issues for the last three years. My doctor told me my blood pressure is high, but my ECG is normal. My cerum creatinine is 0.91, and cholesterol levels reported in February 2017 are at t.col130, HDL 44.1, triglycerides 113.9, LDL 63.12, and VLDL 22.78. The chest X-ray came back normal too. I've been taking Tenolol 50 and Anxit 0.25 as prescribed, but I'm still having the same issues and sometimes I have trouble breathing. Could you help me understand what's going wrong and if there's anything else I should be doing?

Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.

Im 23 years old and recently I've noticed that whenever I eat a big meal or heavy food from restaurants, I can feel my pulse increase in my neck. What could be causing this?

Increased pulse after heavy meals can be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia. This can happen when the body redirects blood flow to the digestive system to help with the digestion process, causing the heart to beat faster. To help with this issue, you can try to eat smaller, lighter meals and avoid foods high in fat and sugar. Additionally, staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques may also help.

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.
