When should we check BP?

The first measurement should be in the morning before eating or taking any medications, and the second in the evening.

So, I've been prescribed aspirin 75 mg by my doctor, but because of the weekend lockdown, I wasn't able to visit them. I ended up buying ecosprin 75 mg from the pharmacy instead. I'm curious, are aspirin 75 mg and ecosprin 75 mg the same thing?

I'm really worried about this constant headache I have, mostly because my blood pressure and sugar are both on the high side. I've done a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. Even my neurologist confirmed everything looks fine. Despite all that, I'm still feeling this awful sense of suffocation. There's no history of any heart problems in my family or anything like that. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about the suffocation issue?

In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
