I've been struggling with frequent headaches and my blood pressure is reading 150100 every three days. What could be causing this and is there anything I should do or be worried about?

You're 13 days post-IUI and experiencing various symptoms.

Common Symptoms with Progesterone

  1. Headache: A possible side effect of progesterone.
  2. Leg pains and back pain: Could be related to progesterone or hormonal changes.
  3. Mouth watering: Not a typical symptom, but hormonal fluctuations might contribute.
  4. Period-like pain: Could be a sign of implantation or hormonal changes.

Pregnancy Test Timing

  1. Wait until your period is due: Take a pregnancy test on the day your period is expected or a day later for more accurate results.
  2. Avoid early testing: Testing too early can lead to false negatives or inaccurate results.

What to Do

  1. Continue progesterone medication: Finish the prescribed course as directed by your doctor.
  2. Stay hydrated and manage symptoms: Drink plenty of water, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers for headaches and body aches.
  3. Schedule a follow-up appointment: Visit your doctor after your period is due for a pregnancy test and further guidance.

I'm a bit worried about my father's health. His INR is 1.90, and I'm wondering how much warfarin he should be taking. Also, after his ECG, when should we schedule an ECG or ECO test? I'd really appreciate your guidance.

Typically, the initial dose of Warfarin is usually 2 to 5 mg per day. However, the dosage may need to be adjusted based on regular INR monitoring. As for when he should do his ECG and ECO after starting Warfarin, it is generally recommended to have these tests done regularly to monitor his heart health and the effects of the medication. It is best to consult his healthcare provider for specific guidance on the timing of these tests based on his individual health needs.

I've been fasting for the past few days for Ramadan and I'm 30 years old. I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing this slight pain in my left chest whenever I take a deep breath. Could this be related to fasting, like maybe from not eating for 12 hours? Is there something specific I should be worried about, and should I be taking any medication for it?
