I'm using an Omron HEM 7120 BP monitor at home and I'm curious about its accuracy. How does it compare to using a manual blood pressure monitor?

View allI've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?
Egg-cellent question! _Can Boiled Eggs Cause Gas?_ 1. _Yes, boiled eggs can cause gas_: Eggs are a common gas-producing food, especially for some individuals. 2. _Protein and sulfur compounds_: Egg whites contain protein and sulfur compounds, which can be difficult for some people to digest, leading to gas and bloating. _Why Liquid Egg White Might Be a Better Option_ 1. _Easier to digest_: Liquid egg whites might be easier to digest than boiled egg whites, as the protein structure is broken down. 2. _Less gas production_: Liquid egg whites may produce less gas, as the digestive system can absorb the nutrients more efficiently. _Solutions to Reduce Gas from Boiled Egg Whites_ 1. _Try digestive enzymes_: Supplementing with digestive enzymes like papain or bromelain can help break down protein and reduce gas. 2. _Experiment with cooking methods_: Try cooking egg whites differently, like poaching or scrambling, to see if it reduces gas production. 3. _Reduce portion size_: If you're consuming 5-6 boiled egg whites daily, try reducing the portion size to see if it alleviates gas symptoms. _Consult a Healthcare Professional_ If you experience persistent or severe gas and bloating, consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

I'm having these episodes of anxiety throughout the day, and even when I'm calm and just doing my usual stuff, it sometimes feels like my heart skips a beat or beats really hard. It freaks me out. I can't tell if it's just the anxiety acting up or if there's something else going on. Any idea what's causing this? I'm really worried.
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be a common symptom of anxiety. However, it's important to rule out any other underlying medical conditions that may be causing these symptoms. I recommend you try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice daily to help with both the anxiety and palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms.
