I'm really puzzled and a bit worried about what's been going on with me lately. Every time I try to catch some sleep, I get woken up by this chest pain and a rapid heartbeat. It's been happening for over a month now. Climbing stairs also brings on this uncomfortable chest feeling. I'm around 100 kg and on met XL and telmisartan for blood pressure. I had a Stress Echocardiogram and CT angiogram recently, and both came back normal. I also attached my last two ECGs for a reference. I've been reassured that this isn't cardiac pain, but it genuinely feels like angina to me. So I'm kind of confused and not sure whats going on. Could this still be related to my heart in some way, or maybe it's something else entirely?

It's good that your recent tests have come back normal, ruling out any cardiac issues. The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can try raising the head of your bed and avoiding heavy meals close to bedtime. If the symptoms persist, you may need to follow up with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

View allI'm really confused about what the normal blood pressure value is supposed to be. I've read online that it's 12080, but then I've also heard from doctors that 14090 is normal, and some even say up to 160100 isn't a problem. I'm really anxious about this and just want to know what the actual normal range for blood pressure is.
It depends on age But. < or =14090 is ok

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been feeling some pain on the left side and backside of her heart after getting her first dose of Covaxin in September 2021, and then she noticed some blood clot patches on her body. Her heart rate also suddenly increased to around 130 at one point. We saw a general physician who mentioned something about Gilbert syndrome and suggested beta blockers, specifically Metalour X25, for life. But I'm really concerned about any side effects on her or our child, especially since she's been managing everything on her own for the last two years. Are there any alternatives in Ayurveda that might work instead of lifetime medication? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Metalour X-25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker commonly used to treat various heart conditions, including high blood pressure and certain types of heart disease. In the case of Gilbert syndrome, beta blockers like Metoprolol can help manage symptoms such as rapid heart rate. The dosage of Metoprolol can vary depending on the individual's condition, but a common starting dose is around 25-50mg once daily. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the prescribing physician. Beta blockers, including Metoprolol, are generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, they can have side effects. Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, and cold hands or feet. It is important to monitor for any unusual symptoms and report them to the healthcare provider. As for alternatives in Ayurveda, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to health and may have alternative treatments or lifestyle recommendations to support heart health. Some Ayurvedic herbs and practices that are commonly used to support heart health include Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and stress-reducing techniques like yoga and meditation. Ultimately, the decision to take Metoprolol or explore Ayurvedic alternatives should be made in consultation with healthcare providers who are familiar with the individual's medical history and current health status.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my 17-year-old son's blood pressure. It's at 140 over 80, and he's currently taking Vinicor D 25 and Solopose Plus. Could you help me understand what these numbers really mean? Do you think its necessary for us to schedule an appointment with a doctor? I'm a bit concerned about his health.
