View allI've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my father. He's 65 and has been dealing with diabetes for about 7 years now. Usually, his normal blood pressure is around 11075, but today I checked and it was 17080. His pulse rate is 90 and his oxygen saturation is 98. Does this seem normal or should I be concerned about these numbers? What should I do next?
Given your symptoms, I recommend consulting an: 1. *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Specialist*: As dizziness can be related to inner ear issues, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). 2. *Neurologist*: To rule out any underlying neurological conditions that might be causing your dizziness. 3. *General Physician*: If you're unsure about which specialist to consult, start with a general physician who can evaluate your overall health and refer you to a specialist if needed. Before consulting a doctor: 1. *Keep a symptom journal*: Track when the dizziness occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you notice. 2. *Monitor your blood pressure*: Ensure your blood pressure is within a healthy range. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. During the consultation: 1. *Share your medical history*: Inform your doctor about your previous experience with dizziness 3 years ago. 2. *Describe your symptoms*: Provide detailed information about your dizziness, including when it occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you've noticed.
