I've been noticing this tingling sensation on the left side below my chest and sometimes at my back. It's not constant but usually happens when I'm lying down and occasionally when I'm sitting. I checked my blood pressure, which was 12381, and when I'm relaxed my pulse rate is around 60, but sometimes it drops to 55. Do you think this is something to be concerned about?

Tingling sensation on the left side below the chest and at the back could be due to nerve compression or irritation. Since your blood pressure and pulse rate are within normal limits, it is less likely to be related to a cardiovascular issue. However, it is important to rule out any musculoskeletal or neurological causes. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the tingling sensation. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen 400mg to reduce any inflammation that may be affecting the nerves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management."

View allI've been on high blood pressure medication for the past year, taking Telma 20, and I added Prazopress XL 5 about two months ago. My blood pressure is finally under control now, so I'm wondering, is it possible for me to stop taking Prazopress? Or should I definitely talk to a doctor about this change?
no u have to continue with the medications for BP.. If u have any side-effects like bradycardia ,blurred vision , palpitations u can stop the medication.. U can take tab telma h (20+12.5) mg orally once daily in the morning..

I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful. I have this fear of vomiting (emetophobia) so anything unusual with my body really freaks me out. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
-Chest discomfort can sometimes be linked to things like indigestion or stress, but if it's been ongoing and sudden, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out anything serious, especially with your fear of vomiting. Your health and peace of

I'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?
At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.
