I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

View allI'm really worried about what happened to me a few days ago. My heart started racing, and it felt like there was some relief when I passed gas, but the fast heartbeat didn't totally go away. I ended up in the hospital and they had to give me shock treatment for my heart rate. That helped, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 170120, even though it was normal just a week earlier. The doctor prescribed Ixarola 20 mg and cordarone tablets for 15 days. Can someone help me understand what caused this sudden change? I'm also looking for advice on any lifestyle changes or diet adjustments I should make to get my blood pressure down. Any suggestions?
It sounds like you experienced a rapid heart rate episode that required medical intervention to restore normal heart rhythm. The high blood pressure you are currently experiencing may be related to this episode. Ixarola 20 mg is a medication that helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Cordarone is a medication that helps regulate heart rhythm. To help manage your blood pressure and overall heart health, here are some lifestyle changes you can consider: - Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars. - Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. - Maintain a healthy weight and aim to lose weight if you are overweight. - Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider as recommended. These lifestyle changes, along with your prescribed medications, can help improve your blood pressure and overall heart health.

I'm a bit concerned and confused about my blood pressure readings. I've been using an electronic BP machine at home, and I've noticed that my readings are high when I first measure it while sittingsomething like 135 to 140 over 90 to 95. But after a few minutes, it seems to drop to around 125 to 130 over 85 to 90. Does this mean I might need medication, or is this fluctuation normal?
"Based on your blood pressure readings, it seems like you have elevated blood pressure, especially when initially measured in a sitting position. It is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications to help lower it. If your blood pressure consistently remains high, medication may be necessary. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss possible treatment options. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your blood pressure through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing salt intake, and managing stress."
