I've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?

For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.

View allI've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?
Mild, intermittent chest pain lasting a few seconds, located in the middle of your chest, may indicate non-cardiac causes such as acid reflux, anxiety, or musculoskeletal issues, but to rule out cardiac conditions like angina or myocardial infarction, it's essential to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and possibly stress tests or imaging studies.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate when I'm sleeping. At night, it sometimes goes as high as 115 beats per minute, but during the day, it's more like 85 BPM. I don't have any other health conditions right now. Should I be worried about this change in heart rate between day and night? Is it normal?
Heart beat rise during sleep in night up to 115 beats per minute is known as nocturnal tachycardia. This can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since you do not have any other existing conditions, I recommend monitoring your caffeine intake and practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime. If the issue persists, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol, starting with a low dose of 25mg once daily in the morning. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
