I'm really concerned because my blood pressure has been stuck at 150100 for a while, and I've been taking Cilicar T, Minipress XL, and D Veniz for the past two years. My doctor says I have essential hypertension after checking my kidneys, eyes, and everything. Should I be worried about this? Can you suggest ways to lower it? I'm also dealing with anxiety and it's kinda overwhelming... Really need some advice here.

Your blood pressure of 150100 indicates hypertension. Since you are already taking Cilicar T, Minipress XL, and D Veniz, your doctor has diagnosed you with essential hypertension. To further lower your blood pressure and manage your anxiety, you can consider adding Amlong (5mg) to your current medication regimen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, can help reduce your anxiety levels and further improve your blood pressure control. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

View allI've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and anxiety following your COVID-19 infection. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol 20mg twice a day. This medication can help reduce palpitations and anxiety by slowing down your heart rate. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My husband recently had an LDL cholesterol reading of 148. I'm really concerned and wondering if that's considered dangerous. What are the normal levels for LDL? Could you suggest some ways to help reduce his LDL? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm really concerned because I had COVID about three months ago, and although Im better now, my chest still feels pretty heavy sometimes. At the beginning, my left hand felt numb, and I had palpitations, so I took Corbis 2.5 for about 10 days. The palpitations seem to be okay now, but the heaviness in my chest is still there, especially if I try to work out or lift heavy things. The intensity has decreased a bit, but it's still noticeable. I've had a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, D-dimer, CKMB, TNI, BNP, MYO, a chest X-ray, and PFT, all of which came back normal. Lately, Ive noticed that if I press on my chest, I hear a crackling sound like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?
That could be due to costochondritis,no need to worry take adequate rest and do breating excercises and also do use flexon tablet when you have severe pain
