I'm noticing this strange chest pain that only happens when I lie down to sleep. It's on the left side, and sometimes I even wake up in a sweat. This has been going on for about a week now. At first, I thought maybe it was just a muscle pull or something with my rib cage, but it's not going away. Interestingly, there's no pain when I'm up walking or sitting. I'm really struggling to sleep and have resorted to sitting and sleeping in an easy chair for the past five nights. I'm also managing high cholesterol at 290 with Temlistran 40 mg and taking Thyronorm 40. Could there be a connection here, or should I be worried about something else going on?

I'm wondering if taking Electral powder could lead to a rise in blood pressure. Is it safe for someone with high BP or diabetes to have? Could you please clarify this for me?

Electral powder is generally safe for high blood pressure and diabetic patients to take, as it is a balanced oral rehydration solution that helps in restoring electrolyte balance in the body. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement.
