View allI'm taking medicine for high BP, but I'm having this recurring chest pain, and it's really concerning. On top of that, I'm dealing with severe throat pain, making it hard for me to eat or swallow anything. My blood pressure is all over the place, and I'm not sure what foods I should be eating or what precautions I should be taking. Could you provide some advice on how to handle this situation?

I'm a 23-year-old female, around 130 lbs, and I'm really anxious about health stuff recently, especially after reading about various symptoms. A while back, I had the flu with fever, diarrhea, and a low appetite, and though those symptoms are gone, I still feel weak and lightheaded. It got me worried about an electrolyte imbalance. I took two 150 mg doses of fluconazole for a candida infection right after my flu, and I read that's something that could affect potassium levels. Sometimes, I think I'm having heart palpitations, with my resting pulse varying from 59 to 75. It feels like my heart is either pounding or too weak at times. The lightheadedness often kicks in after I walk a lot or panic. I've been trying to up my potassium intake but can't seem to reach the 4700mg target. Do you think this could lead to a significant imbalance or even a cardiac issue?

I've been having this nagging pain in my left arm for the past two nights, and it went away for a day but then came back. Now it's in my upper shoulder and arm area. Should I be worried about this?
Left arm pain that started at night and now is also present in the upper shoulder and arm area could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, nerve compression, or even cardiac issues. It is important to monitor the pain and seek medical attention if it persists or worsens. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief. If the pain continues, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
