I've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?

Egg-cellent question!

Can Boiled Eggs Cause Gas?

  1. Yes, boiled eggs can cause gas: Eggs are a common gas-producing food, especially for some individuals.
  2. Protein and sulfur compounds: Egg whites contain protein and sulfur compounds, which can be difficult for some people to digest, leading to gas and bloating.

Why Liquid Egg White Might Be a Better Option

  1. Easier to digest: Liquid egg whites might be easier to digest than boiled egg whites, as the protein structure is broken down.
  2. Less gas production: Liquid egg whites may produce less gas, as the digestive system can absorb the nutrients more efficiently.

Solutions to Reduce Gas from Boiled Egg Whites

  1. Try digestive enzymes: Supplementing with digestive enzymes like papain or bromelain can help break down protein and reduce gas.
  2. Experiment with cooking methods: Try cooking egg whites differently, like poaching or scrambling, to see if it reduces gas production.
  3. Reduce portion size: If you're consuming 5-6 boiled egg whites daily, try reducing the portion size to see if it alleviates gas symptoms.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

If you experience persistent or severe gas and bloating, consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

I've been waking up with a pretty bad headache and noticing that my blood pressure readings are quite high in the morning, sometimes hitting around 160100. It seems to settle down by around noon and stays normal for the rest of the day. Im currently on Espin AT and Equasite 12.5 every morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What's causing these high readings in the morning?

It seems like you are experiencing morning hypertension, which is a common issue for some individuals. To help manage your blood pressure more effectively throughout the day, you can consider taking your medications at different times. I recommend taking your Espin AT in the morning as usual, but you may benefit from taking your Equasite 12.5 in the evening instead. This can help provide more consistent blood pressure control throughout the day. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I've been noticing that my heart rate seems to spike all of a sudden whenever I get out of bed or even if I just switch sides while lying down. Is this something I should be worried about?

heart rate increases suddenly after changing positions may be due to a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow such as leg raises and calf pumps. If symptoms persist, medications such as midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm trying to understand the differences between Cocor 5 and Inderal 40. Are they used for the same purpose, and if so, which one is considered safer with fewer side effects?

Yes, Cocor 5 and Inderal 40 are both beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. In terms of safety and side effects, Inderal 40 (Propranolol) is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Cocor 5 (Bisoprolol). Inderal 40 is often preferred in patients with certain heart conditions or anxiety disorders due to its well-established safety profile. The usual dosage for Inderal 40 is 40mg once daily, while the dosage for Cocor 5 is 5mg once daily.
