View allI'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

I'm experiencing this weird throbbing sensation in my chest and head, and I'm also feeling it in my legs. I had some tests done like ECG, echo, and they all came back normal. What could be causing this, and how can I address it?
Based on your symptoms and normal heart reports, it is possible that you are experiencing migraines with associated symptoms in your legs. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the throbbing feeling in your head and chest. For the pulsation feeling in your legs, you can try ibuprofen (Advil) to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Make sure to stay hydrated, get enough rest, and manage stress levels. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because even after testing negative for COVID, my pulse rate is still high, around 103-104. Yesterday, I started feeling some pain in my left arm, so I got an ECG done. It showed something called sinus tachycardia, which I guess isn't normal. My blood pressure is 14090, and I've started taking Ecospirin 75mg. Is this something I should be concerned about?
After recovering from COVID-19, experiencing a continuous elevated pulse rate (sinus tachycardia) and pain in your left arm warrants attention. An abnormal ECG and a BP reading of 14090 mmHg suggest that further evaluation is necessary. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors, including lingering effects of the virus, dehydration, stress, or other underlying conditions. Ecospirin (aspirin) 75 mg can help reduce the risk of clotting, but it's crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider to identify the cause of your symptoms and ensure appropriate management. Additional tests such as blood work, echocardiogram, or a Holter monitor might be needed. Please consult your healthcare provider promptly for a comprehensive evaluation.
