I've been managing high blood pressure for a while now and I keep up with my daily exercise routine, which includes walking about 4.5 km and jogging 1.5 km. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue jogging with my high BP. Can jogging be risky for someone in my condition, or is there a safe way to incorporate it into my fitness routine?

It is generally safe to jog with high blood pressure, but it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. It is recommended to start with low to moderate intensity exercises and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort. If you experience any dizziness, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention.

I've been having some concerns after getting the Covishield vaccine a few days ago. I've been experiencing chest pain and a feeling of tightness, along with mild difficulty breathing when I'm lying down. There's also a lot of mucus coming from my mouth. It feels like I might have a cold, considering I've had COVID before. Should I be worried about possible chest congestion or could it be something else?

Been dealing with heart palpitations for about 3 weeks now and it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm taking hypertension meds and Prozac at 10mg. I've had these palpitations before, around 2 weeks, but they went away and my doctor said everything was fine with my heart then. Any thoughts on what might be going on or if there's something else I should consider? Should I be concerned this time?
