I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold recently, and I've been on antibiotics for it. When I checked my blood pressure, it was at 160100, which has me a bit worried. I did take a tablet called Stardol for muscle pain a few days ago. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure or anything else? Would love some guidance.

View allI'm 27 and I've recently noticed my blood pressure's been around 155108, and my heart rate is at 105. I've got a lot of anxiety lately due to work and financial stress. My lifestyle isn't the healthiestI eat a lot of junk food and don't exercise much. I'm 176 cm tall and weigh 78 kg. I saw a doctor who suggested taking METXL TRIO50 for a few months. I'm really hoping to reduce my blood pressure. Is it possible to get back to normal with some quick lifestyle changes?
Yes, you can definitely work on decreasing your blood pressure with lifestyle changes. Here are some recommendations: 1. Start by following a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit your intake of junk food, processed foods, and foods high in salt and saturated fats. 2. Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. 3. Manage your stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, yoga, or meditation. 4. Maintain a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. 5. Limit your alcohol intake and avoid smoking. 6. Ensure you are getting an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Regarding the medication METXL TRIO50 prescribed by your doctor, it is a combination drug that contains Metoprolol, Telmisartan, and Chlorthalidone. It helps in lowering blood pressure. Follow your doctor's instructions on dosage and duration. It is important to note that while lifestyle changes can help in managing blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking your prescribed medication and follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress.

I've been dealing with chest pain for the past six months, and it's been really worrying me. I've already had ECGs done five times, an echocardiogram, blood tests, and even an endoscopy, but they all came back normal. My physical activity seems fine, but the pain is there all day. I'm just trying to figure out what might be going ondo you have any thoughts or advice on what I should do next?
It's good that you have already undergone several tests to investigate the cause of your chest pain. Since your ECG, echocardiogram, blood tests, and endoscopy all came back normal, it's less likely to be related to the heart or gastrointestinal issues. Considering your symptoms have persisted for 6 months, it's important to explore other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or anxiety-related chest pain. I recommend trying a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help if anxiety is a contributing factor to your chest pain. If the pain continues, further evaluation by a specialist may be needed.

My mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?
Your mother might be showing early signs of developing systemic hypertension. Regular monitoring of her blood pressure will confirm the diagnosis, and she can be consequently started on a anti-hypertensive regimen of medication. Lifestyle modifications with dietary changes may be necessary for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It is best to consult a physician who will monitor her progress over a long period of time.
