Question

I'm really worried about my mom. Lately, she's been feeling these vibrations in her heart every now and then. It sounds strange, but she tells me it happens occasionally. On top of that, she's also been having leg pain for the past few days. Is this something to be concerned about? She's currently on medications like Ozone cynocal, lcOsil, and Ozone ozocal. Could these symptoms be related to the meds, or is it something else going on? Would really appreciate some guidance.

Question

What does a high blood pressure headache feel like?

Question

My brother's been taking Olmezest H20 for his blood pressure, but sometimes it still shows high readings. The doctor recommended adding Amlodipine 5 mg to his routine. I'm wondering if that's a good idea or if switching to Olmezest H40 might be better. What do you think?
