I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

I've just turned 38 and I'm on Eslo 5 mg for my blood pressure. Lately, though, I've noticed my readings creeping up to around 15090. Should I be worried about this, and is there something I should do to get it back under control?

If your blood pressure is consistently high even after taking Eslo 5mg, it may be time to increase your medication. Visit your regular physician for recalibration of anti-hypertensive medication. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise of about 30 minutes everyday and cessation of smokingdrinking may be helpful. Opting for a DASH diet may also help control hypertension.

Couldn't sleep well last night and only got a little bit of rest today. I didn't have any chest pain earlier, but now, during nighttime, I suddenly felt a shooting pain on the right side of my chest. It only lasts a few seconds, kinda like a sudden leg ache or headache. I also noticed an extra heartbeat. Could this be related to my heart? Why do we get chest pain when we're sleep-deprived?

Chest pain, especially on the right side, along with an extra heartbeat can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. However, in the context of being sleep-deprived, chest pain can also be caused by muscle strain or tension. To help with the chest pain and irregular heartbeat, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, consider taking a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the pain. Make sure to get adequate rest and improve your sleep hygiene to prevent further episodes.
