View allAfter recovering from COVID over a month ago, I've noticed my blood pressure has been consistently high, ranging between 145-165. I've been really disciplined with my diet and make sure to walk twice a day for 30 to 40 minutes. Is this high BP normal for someone in my situation, or could there be something else going on health-wise? What do you think?
After recovering from COVID-19, it is not uncommon for some patients to experience fluctuations in their blood pressure. In your case, with a consistently elevated blood pressure ranging between 145-165, it is important to monitor this closely. Since you are following a strict diet and exercise routine, there may be an underlying issue causing this spike. Considering your history of high blood pressure, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try incorporating medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Additionally, continue with your healthy lifestyle habits and monitor your blood pressure regularly.

I'm 27 and just found out I have high cholesterol. My LDL was 190, HDL was 40, total cholesterol hit 280, and triglycerides were at 90. My B12 levels were at 80. The doctor had me on Crestor 20 mg for a few months, which got my LDL back to normal, but it messed with my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I switched to Prelipid and my cholesterol levels stabilized, but I've been having muscle pain and anxiety with it. Also, my family's got a history of high cholesterol. I've been playing lawn tennis regularly for the past few years and I really dont love the idea of staying on medication forever. Once I stop taking them, my cholesterol spikes again. Is there any way I can manage my cholesterol without being on meds for life? Would really appreciate some advice on if these medications are a must or if there's something else I can try!
u have to continue with tab crestor 20 mg at bedtime continuosly ,and recheck the lipid panel once in 3 months, better to continue with the medications.Regular aerobic exercises, protein diet is advised.Alcholol and smoking cessation is needed.Also use of butter and ghee is not advised

I'm experiencing a sharp pain in my chest area that worsens when I breathe in, and it radiates into my back. I'm also having heart palpitations. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm really worried about this.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related issues.
