I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

View allI'm having really bad pain in my left hand and shoulder since this morning. It's pretty severe, and I'm worried if it could be due to acidity or something related to the heart. How can I figure out what's causing it? Can you help me?
Left hand and shoulder pain can be a symptom of a heart-related issue, especially if it is severe. It is important to rule out any cardiac problems. I recommend you to take a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and visit the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment. This can help in case it is related to a heart problem. If the pain is due to acidity, you can take an antacid like Tums (Calcium carbonate) 500mg. But it is crucial to get a proper diagnosis to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

I've been having a fast heart rate between 100 and 120 over the last few days. I'm using a brown inhaler for my asthma and an over-the-counter decongestant because of nasal polyps. Could these meds be causing it? If I stop taking them, how long might it take for my heart rate to go back to normal?
Both your asthma inhaler medication and the over-the-counter decongestant can contribute to an increased heart rate. The bronchodilator medication in your inhaler can cause a temporary increase in heart rate as a side effect. Similarly, decongestants can also stimulate the heart and lead to a faster heart rate. If you stop taking these medications, your heart rate should return to normal within a few hours to a few days, depending on how long you have been taking them and your body's response. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Hey, so I'm trying to understand what trace TR means and how it affects my health. Could you tell me about any treatments or steps I might take to improve this? It's been on my mind, and I'd really like to get a handle on what to expect.
Trace TR typically refers to trace amounts of protein in the urine, which can be an early sign of kidney damage or other health issues. To address this, it is important to manage the underlying cause. One common approach is to control blood pressure and blood sugar levels through lifestyle modifications and medications like Losartan 50mg daily. Additionally, reducing salt intake and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve kidney function. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are essential to track progress and adjust treatment as needed.
