I've been noticing that my blood pressure seems to jump around quite a bit. Sometimes it's around 11575, other times it gets up to 12684, and the highest I've seen is 160101. I'm not on any medications for it right now. Is it normal for blood pressure to fluctuate like this, and what might be causing these changes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fluctuating blood pressure, ranging from 11575 to as high as 160101, can be influenced by factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and underlying medical conditions. To manage this, adopt a heart-healthy diet, reduce salt intake, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. Regularly monitor your blood pressure, noting any patterns or triggers, and keep a log of your readings. Consult your healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions and determine if medication is necessary. Discuss these fluctuations with your doctor to develop an appropriate management plan.

View allI'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.
