I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it's measuring at 146 over 95. I'm starting to get a bit worried this might be a sign of hypertension. Should I be considering medication to get it under control, or would it be better to consult with a general physician first to figure out the best course of action?

I'm wondering about the use of Zifi CV 300 mg. Is it considered an antibiotic? If it is, is it safe to take with paracetamol? Just trying to make sure I'm managing everything correctly.

I'm really concerned because I had a fever in the morning, and after I took some medicine, it went away. But then it came back again in the afternoon and at night. Is this normal, or should I be worried about this recurring fever? Would you suggest anything different I should try or maybe a specific kind of medicine?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fever. To help manage your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce the fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling really under the weather with flu-like symptoms for the past few days. One of my coworkers just got diagnosed with swine flu. Should I be worried and get tested for it too?

If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms and were in close contact with someone diagnosed with swine flu, it might be a good idea to get tested, especially if your symptoms worsen or persist. It's always better to be cautious, and a test can help you manage your health more effectively.
