Question

I'm worried because I recently had a formal health check-up, and my blood pressure was 17090. I've started taking Amlodipine 5 mg once a day, but after three days, I haven't noticed any major improvement. What should I do?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm taking Eliquis 5mg twice daily since I had a pulmonary thrombosis embolism a while back. I'm doing well now, but my doctor advised me to stay on it for life. I'm really curious about what the long-term side effects could be with this medication because I'd want to adjust my diet and lifestyle accordingly. Can you share some insights?
