View allMy blood pressure has been low for the past 15 days never happened before. This is the first time. I also took some meds for wisdom tooth surgery recently. What should I do about it?
If your blood pressure has consistently been low for the past 15 days, especially after a recent wisdom tooth surgery, it's important to consult with your doctor or dentist. While a single instance of low blood pressure might be manageable with lifestyle adjustments, persistent low blood pressure could indicate an underlying issue. The medications you took for the wisdom tooth surgery could also be a contributing factor

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest, and today I noticed there's some swelling under my ribs. It's really worrying me since I remember 2 years ago, I went through a bunch of heart checkups, and everything was fine. The doctor back then said it was because of my poor lifestyle. But now, I'm not sure what's causing this pain again. Could you suggest what might be going on and which specialist I should see?
no need to worry follow your doctors advice

I'm 18 and just got my ECG results which say sinus arrhythmia but I don't really understand what that means. My heart rate is 75 bpm, P is 97 ms, PR is 117 ms, QRS is 98 ms, QTQTc is at 352395 ms, and there's something about RV5 and SV1 being at 2.7031.245 mv. They noted it's a normal ECG, but I'm still a bit worried. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers?
Your ECG report indicates a normal heart rhythm with a diagnosis of sinus arrhythmia, which is a benign condition characterized by a variation in heart rate with breathing, and all other parameters, including PR, QRS, and QT intervals, are within normal limits, suggesting no underlying cardiac abnormalities, so you can be reassured that your heart is functioning normall
