Question 1

I'm experiencing this strange pressure on my chest every time I yawn, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. There's also some pressure on my neck. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help with the chest pressure and vomiting sensation. You can also try taking an H2 blocker like Zantac or Pepcid to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

Question 2

I'm dealing with sinusitis for the last 4 years, and it's mostly my right side that's blocked with a lot of mucus and sometimes a whitish liquid comes out. It also causes headaches and a feeling of heaviness on that side. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to get the COVID vaccine given these issues?

Accepted Answer

No you can not take covid vaccine until your cold and headache subsides.

Question 3

My mother-in-law is 65 and she's really struggling with high blood pressure that just won't seem to get under control, even though she's on a high dose of BP meds. Her echo and ECG came back normal, and all her blood tests look good except for high cholesterol. She's taking Rosuvas for that. I'm really worriedwhat else can she do to get her blood pressure in check?

Accepted Answer

Given that your mother-in-law's high blood pressure is not well controlled despite high doses of medication, it is essential to re-evaluate her treatment plan with her healthcare provider. Sometimes, resistant hypertension requires a combination of medications from different classes. These may include ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs, like losartan), calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine), diuretics (like hydrochlorothiazide), and beta-blockers (like metoprolol). Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a low-sodium diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake are important. Please consult her healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan that may include adjusting her current medications or adding new ones.

I'm 22 and my resting heart rate is 112. Is this something I should be worried about? I haven't had any cholesterol or high blood pressure issues, and there aren't any heart problems in my past either.
