I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

So, my dad had an angioplasty done on October 20th, and while he's getting better, he's been dealing with toothache, something he had before. I'm wondering if he could take a becosule tablet for that. Would that be safe, or might it cause any issues with his heart condition?

Becosule tablet is a multivitamin supplement that contains Vitamin B complex. It is generally safe to take after angioplasty, as Vitamin B complex is important for overall health and well-being. However, it is always best to consult with your father's cardiologist before starting any new medication, including over-the-counter supplements, to ensure there are no potential interactions with his current medications or health condition. If the cardiologist approves, the usual dosage of Becosule tablet for adults is one tablet once daily.

I recently had a blood pressure reading of 140 over 100 and my doctor prescribed some medication. Later, I went through an echo and it turned out I have high anxiety. I'm curious, can echo tests really measure anxiety? And do you think this is something that can be cured, or does it mean I'll be on medication for both anxiety and blood pressure for the rest of my life?

Anxiety cannot be measured in an echocardiogram. Anxiety is a psychological condition that is typically diagnosed based on symptoms and a clinical evaluation by a mental health professional. Treatment for anxiety may include therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Sertraline. It is possible to manage and even overcome anxiety with the right treatment approach. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed medications for both anxiety and high blood pressure to effectively manage both conditions.

I'm having this recurring pain in my chest, like near my heart. It comes and goes on its own. Should I be worried about this?

It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause of your chest pain. However, based on your description, it could be related to conditions such as angina or acid reflux. For temporary relief of chest pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
