I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090*
This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is:
- Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg
- Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg
A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases.
Regular Body Pain
To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): To measure inflammation in the body.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions.
- Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs): To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain.
- Vitamin D levels: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain.
- Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound): To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

View allI'm really worried about my father. He's 65 and has been dealing with diabetes for about 7 years now. Usually, his normal blood pressure is around 11075, but today I checked and it was 17080. His pulse rate is 90 and his oxygen saturation is 98. Does this seem normal or should I be concerned about these numbers? What should I do next?
Given your symptoms, I recommend consulting an: 1. *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Specialist*: As dizziness can be related to inner ear issues, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). 2. *Neurologist*: To rule out any underlying neurological conditions that might be causing your dizziness. 3. *General Physician*: If you're unsure about which specialist to consult, start with a general physician who can evaluate your overall health and refer you to a specialist if needed. Before consulting a doctor: 1. *Keep a symptom journal*: Track when the dizziness occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you notice. 2. *Monitor your blood pressure*: Ensure your blood pressure is within a healthy range. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. During the consultation: 1. *Share your medical history*: Inform your doctor about your previous experience with dizziness 3 years ago. 2. *Describe your symptoms*: Provide detailed information about your dizziness, including when it occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you've noticed.

I'm wondering how long one Amlong 5mg tablet works to lower blood pressure. My BP levels are still low even after five days, and I'm not someone who's normally dealing with blood pressure issues. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
one day, continue same medications for BP.

I've been experiencing this really uncomfortable feeling where it feels like I'm lifting some heavy weight right in the middle of my chest. It's like this pressure or tightness, and it happens a few times throughout the day. This has been going on for about 20 to 25 days now. I'm starting to get pretty worried. What could be causing this, and is there something serious I should be concerned about?
Lifting heavy weights can sometimes lead to muscle strain or even chest discomfort. The symptoms you are experiencing, such as heaviness at the center of the chest, pressure, and tightness, could be due to musculoskeletal strain or even acid reflux. To alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medications like **ibuprofen** 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can take **omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast to help with any acid reflux symptoms that may be contributing to your discomfort. Remember to avoid lifting heavy weights until your symptoms improve.
