I've been having a bunch of symptoms lately that are starting to worry me. I feel like I'm always out of breath, and sometimes I get really dizzy out of nowhere. Fatigue has been a constant partner, and I've even fainted a couple of times, which is super scary. My head feels heavy, and I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep. On top of all that, I can't shake these negative thoughts and just feel so lazy all the time. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about, and what could be causing it?

I'm really concerned because my last BP reading was 160100, and I can't seem to book a doctor's appointment soon. Can anyone suggest what I should do next or if there's any medication I could consider in the meantime? Any advice would be really appreciated.
you can start taking Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also consider adding Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name: Microzide) 12.5mg once daily.

I'm dealing with a pretty fast heartbeat most of the time, usually between 100 to 115 beats per minute, and I often feel weak. My oxygen levels are fine, staying between 98 to 100, but I've had anemia since birth due to hereditary spherocytosis. Could you give me some advice on managing this high pulse rate?
High pulse rate can be concerning, especially if you have a history of anemia and hereditary spherocytosis. In your case, it is important to address the underlying cause of your high pulse rate. Since your SpO2 levels are normal, the high pulse rate may be due to other factors such as anemia or hereditary spherocytosis. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help slow down your heart rate and reduce the symptoms of weakness that you are experiencing. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication, as they can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition.
