I'm reaching out because I've been on medication for hypertension for a couple of years now, specifically taking Losartana 50 mg each night before I sleep. During the day, my blood pressure usually stays around 13585. I've heard from several people that apple cider vinegar might help to manage my blood pressure better and maybe even help me reduce my dependency on the medicine. I don't have a family history of hypertension, but right now, I'm at 92 kg, 5'9", and 32 years old. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to try apple cider vinegar for my situation?

Apple cider vinegar may have some benefits in helping to control blood pressure, but it is not a substitute for prescribed medication. It is always important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan. In your case, since your blood pressure is still not within the desired range during the day, it would be best to continue taking LOSARTAN-A 50 Mg as prescribed. However, you can also incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet in moderation for its potential health benefits. It is recommended to dilute it in water and consume it before meals.

View allI'm really struggling to get a full night's sleep. Even if I go to bed around 12 or 1, I'll still wake up by 3 or 4 in the morning. Plus, while I'm sleeping, I end up sweating a lot just under my head. I've got this constant worry in the back of my mind that I'm going to have a heart attack. Is there something wrong?

I've been feeling a bit worried. I'm 14 and I've noticed my heart starts to race, like palpitations, especially after I've had a lot of sugar or after I've been really stressed out for a couple of days. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about this?
Heart palpitations in young individuals can sometimes be triggered by excessive sugar intake and stress. It is important to monitor your sugar consumption and practice stress management techniques. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Propranolol 10mg to help with the palpitations. However, if the palpitations persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm a 54-year-old guy and I've been told I need a heart pacemaker. So, before I go for it, I want to know all the details. Like, how does this thing actually work? What kind of care do I need after getting one? Is it going to be comfortable to live with? And most importantly, should I be worried about any side effects from having a pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. It uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. You may need a pacemaker if your heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. After getting a pacemaker, you should avoid vigorous activities that could damage the device. It's important to attend regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to ensure the pacemaker is working properly. Most people find living with a pacemaker to be comfortable and are able to resume normal activities. However, you should avoid certain activities that can interfere with the pacemaker, such as using certain medical devices or undergoing certain medical procedures. Common side effects of a pacemaker include infection at the site of implantation, bleeding, bruising, or swelling. In rare cases, there may be complications such as a collapsed lung or a punctured blood vessel during the implantation procedure. It's important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
