My mom's blood pressure is at 200100, and our family doctor mentioned some medication called Stemlo 5. Should we be doing anything else for her? She's 46 years old and weighs about 76.8 kg.

I'm really concerned about my heart rate lately. It seems to spike, especially when I'm sleeping, and I'm not sure if it's because of fear or anxiety about everything that's happening with COVID-19. Could you give me some advice or steps I can take to handle this? I'd be open to a phone or video consultation too. Appreciate your help!

I'm noticing this strange chest pain that only happens when I lie down to sleep. It's on the left side, and sometimes I even wake up in a sweat. This has been going on for about a week now. At first, I thought maybe it was just a muscle pull or something with my rib cage, but it's not going away. Interestingly, there's no pain when I'm up walking or sitting. I'm really struggling to sleep and have resorted to sitting and sleeping in an easy chair for the past five nights. I'm also managing high cholesterol at 290 with Temlistran 40 mg and taking Thyronorm 40. Could there be a connection here, or should I be worried about something else going on?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been having some trouble breathing and occasionally feels a bit of pain in her chest. We got all the tests donelike her echo, ECG, CT, and angiographyand the results came back normal. I'm just not sure what the next steps should be, or if there's more we should be looking into. What could be going on, and what should we do next?
