I've been experiencing this cramp on the right side of my chest whenever I yawn. Its really painful for a bit, almost unbearable, but then it fades away. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it and how I can prevent it. Also, is there anything I can do to lessen the pain quickly when it hits?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle spasms or tension in the chest area, possibly due to deep or frequent yawning. To ease the pain quickly, try gently stretching or massaging the area. If it continues or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

I'm dealing with a right bundle branch block and experiencing some head dizziness that just won't go away. It's been really hard to focus at work because of these syncope episodes. Do you have any advice or remedies that might help with this?

It's important to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, to help manage your dizziness, you can try taking Betahistine (brand name: Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce dizziness. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, avoid sudden movements, and consider wearing compression stockings to improve blood flow. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical evaluation.

I'm 42 and my doctor just recently told me I have high blood pressure, so I've been taking TetanH and it's helped to get it under control. I'm thinking about trying intermittent fasting because I've heard it might help with lowering blood pressure too. Do you think that's a good idea for me? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects from using TetanH over a long period. Can you give me some advice on this?

It's great to hear that your blood pressure is now under control with Tetan-H. Intermittent fasting can potentially help lower blood pressure, but it's essential to approach it cautiously, especially when you're on medication. Before starting any new diet regimen, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's safe given your specific health condition. Regarding Tetan-H, which contains telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, it can have some long-term side effects like any medication. These may include dizziness, increased uric acid levels, or kidney function changes. Close monitoring by your doctor can help manage any potential side effects.
