View allI'm experiencing this strange sensation right when I start to fall asleep each nightit's like there's a tightness or pressure in my chest, and I sometimes feel like I'm suffocating. I've checked my blood pressure during these episodes, and it's around 12683, which I've read is normal. Plus, I've had an ECG and a 2D Echo, and both came back normal. Given all this, do you have any idea what might be going on or what I can do about this? It's really concerning, and I'd love some guidance.
Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..

I'm really worried about my husband. He's in the paramilitary and has been dealing with blood pressure issues for a while. He's been taking LOSAR H tablets every day, like for years. But now, his blood pressure seems to be dropping and has recently dipped below 110. He's stationed in a very high-risk area and has to do intense physical work. I'm really concerned. What should we do about this situation?
It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly, especially since it has dropped below 110. In this situation, it is advisable to consult with a doctor to adjust the dosage of LOSAR H or consider switching to a different medication. Since he is in a high-stress environment and engaged in intensive physical work, it is crucial to ensure that his blood pressure remains within a safe range to prevent any complications. I recommend seeking medical advice promptly to address this issue and make necessary adjustments to his medication.
