I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

View allI'm really worried about my father. He's had high blood pressure for about 20 days now. He's already a BP patient, but lately, his pressure is shooting up to around 16090. He was on promolate xl 25 before and now he's been switched to telvas 40 by the doctor. It doesn't seem to be helping control his blood pressure, though. Can you suggest anything that might help us manage this better?
It seems like your father's blood pressure is not well controlled with Telvas 40. In this case, the doctor may consider adding or adjusting the dosage of another medication. One common combination for high blood pressure is Telvas 40 (Telmisartan 40mg) along with Amlodipine (usually 5mg to 10mg). Amlodipine helps to further lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. However, the final decision on the medication and dosage should be made by your father's treating physician after a thorough evaluation. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and follow up with his doctor for further management.

I'm really concerned because my heartbeat is only 20 and I'm having trouble breathing. Can you tell me how much your EECP treatment costs? How long does the treatment usually take? And could you walk me through the whole treatment process? I'm eager to understand more about what to expect.
For your condition, EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) treatment can be beneficial. The treatment fee can vary depending on the healthcare facility and location, so it's best to inquire directly at the clinic. Typically, an EECP treatment course involves 35 one-hour sessions, usually conducted over a span of 7 weeks (5 sessions per week). During the treatment process, you will be comfortably lying on a bed with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around your legs. These cuffs will inflate and deflate in sync with your heartbeat to increase blood flow to your heart and improve its function. This non-invasive treatment can help improve your heart function and alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath. I hope this information helps.
