I've been experiencing headaches lately, so I went to see a doctor. My blood pressure came in at 130100, which is quite different from two years ago when it was usually around 11070. The doctor told me to keep an eye on my BP for the next five days. My blood work was mostly okay, but they did find my CRP levels were at 6 and my sodium was a little low, around 133. I've been feeling tired all day too. What could be going on with me?

I've been having some concerns after a medical camp at my office where my BP was checked. The first reading was 120180 and the second was 110170. The doctor suggested I take Lasix for a day and then start on Telma 40 mg for 10 days. I've just started the medication yesterday. Over the past week, I've reduced my salt intake and started doing yoga. Before starting the medication, my BP readings were 110150, 105145, 110150, and 115155. Yesterday I took Lasix at 3 pm and today 1 tablet of Telma 40 mg at 8 am. My BP reading at 7:30 pm today was 14090. I'm feeling a bit different after the meds and am wondering if they're too strong or just right. What do you think is happening?

It seems like your blood pressure is gradually stabilizing, which is a positive sign, but a reading of 14090 is still on the higher side. It's normal to feel a bit different when starting medication, but if you're concerned or feel any discomfort, its important to check in with your doctor to ensure the dosage is appropriate for you.

I've been really concerned about my atrial fibrillation lately and was wondering if there's any actual cure for it. Also, do you think practices like yoga or acupuncture could be effective in managing it? I'm curious about whether there are any food or lifestyle changes that might help too.

Atrial fibrillation can be managed with medications and other interventions, but it may not have a definitive cure. Medications such as Flecainide or Dronedarone can help control heart rhythm. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy diet can also help. While yoga and acupuncture may help with overall well-being and stress management, they may not directly cure atrial fibrillation. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been dealing with fatigue for about 20 days now, and it just doesn't seem to go away. I've also had some headaches on and off. Could these be signs of a heart attack?

Fatigue and headache are not specific symptoms of a heart attack. However, it is important to pay attention to any unusual symptoms you may be experiencing. Fatigue and headache can be caused by various factors such as stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
