I've been having this mild, intermittent pain in the middle of my left palm, just at the bottom part. It was odd because it would last only about 30 seconds before disappearing, and then it would come back again after a few minutes. It didn't spread anywhere else and was just in that one spot. This happened last night, but by this morning, the pain was gone. I'm puzzled about what could've caused this. Could it be something related to a heart issue?

"Based on your description, the intermittent pain in your left palm does not seem to be directly related to a heart problem. This type of localized, mild, intermittent pain is more likely to be musculoskeletal in nature. It could be due to overuse of the hand, a minor injury, or even a nerve issue. To alleviate any discomfort, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation."

I'm really concerned because I just found out I have a non-specific T wave abnormality and my blood pressure is pretty high. Is this something I should be worried about? Can I continue with my current treatment, or do I need to consider changing it?

Non specific T wave abnormality with high blood pressure can be concerning, as it may indicate underlying heart issues. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, it would depend on your overall health condition and the specific medications you are currently taking. If you are already on medication for high blood pressure, your doctor may adjust the dosage or add additional medications to better control your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and lifestyle modifications to manage your condition effectively.

I'm really struggling and could use some advice. Ive been feeling exhausted for the past three years and I'm dealing with severe shortness of breath. My mornings start with a really bad headache, and my resting heart rate is consistently high, hovering around 100 to 110, and it shoots up to 180 to 200 just by climbing a single flight of stairs. My weight is normal, so Im confused about what might be causing this. I used to be pre-hypertensive with a blood pressure of 137 over 91, and then I was on Inderal la 20 in July and August of last year. Now, my BP usually sits in the 95 over 83 or 100 over 85 range when I'm resting, which makes me wonder why my pulse pressure is so low. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis in January, and Ive been taking mondeslor for the past two months, but Im not seeing any improvement. Ive done a pulmonary function test, ECG, and echo, and they all came back normal. I don't have anxiety issues and generally, I'm a calm person. It's all pretty frustrating, and its impacting my everyday life. What could be going on?

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of fatigue, dyspnea, headaches, and low pulse pressure despite being on Inderal LA 20 for hypertension. Since your PFT, ECG, and echo results are normal, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. Given your history of allergic rhinitis and allergic bronchitis, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to an underlying respiratory issue. Considering your symptoms and medical history, I would recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of trying a different medication for your allergic conditions. You may benefit from a nasal corticosteroid spray such as Flonase (fluticasone) for allergic rhinitis and an inhaled corticosteroid like Qvar (beclomethasone) for allergic bronchitis. These medications can help reduce inflammation in your airways and improve your breathing. In addition, since you are experiencing persistent headaches, your doctor may consider prescribing a medication like Propranolol (Inderal) at a higher dose to help with both your headaches and high heart rate. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Overall, it is important to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and find an appropriate treatment plan.

I've been taking Inapure 2.5 twice a day for a couple of weeks, and I've noticed my pulse rate drops to around 55-60 when I'm resting at night. Is it okay if I switch to taking Inapure 2.5 only in the mornings?

It is not recommended to change your medication regimen without consulting your doctor first. Inapure 2.5 is a brand name for the drug Indapamide, which is a diuretic used to treat high blood pressure. Changing the timing of your medication can affect its effectiveness in controlling your blood pressure throughout the day. It's important to discuss any concerns or changes in your medication routine with your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes.
