View allMy mom's been dealing with hypothyroidism for about 2 years now, and lately, whenever she gets anxious, her blood pressure spikes, although she's not hypertensive. Since last night, her BP's been consistently high, with systolic ranging from 146 to 156. She's feeling a bit anxious too, and I gave her a 5 mg dose of amlodipine this morning, which brought her BP down to 14698. But it's gone back up again. Can you help us figure out what's going on?
The high blood pressure readings along with anxiety symptoms in your mother could be due to a combination of factors, including her underlying hypothyroidism. In this situation, it would be advisable to add a medication specifically for controlling blood pressure. I recommend starting her on a medication called Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it would be beneficial to address the anxiety symptoms with a medication such as Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've had gynecomastia since childhood and have all the symptoms. Is it possible to treat this completely with just medications or will I eventually need surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible

I've been really puzzled and a bit worried. I had an IUI on the 16th of March and got an HCG trigger shot of 10,000 units on the night of the 14th. But then, a few days later, I decided to take a home pregnancy test and got a negative result. I even tested multiple times and still got negatives. How could this be happening?
