I'm a bit confused about the difference between Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. I don't have high blood pressure, so which one should I be considering, if at all?

I'm really concerned because I just found out I have a non-specific T wave abnormality and my blood pressure is pretty high. Is this something I should be worried about? Can I continue with my current treatment, or do I need to consider changing it?

Non specific T wave abnormality with high blood pressure can be concerning, as it may indicate underlying heart issues. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, it would depend on your overall health condition and the specific medications you are currently taking. If you are already on medication for high blood pressure, your doctor may adjust the dosage or add additional medications to better control your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and lifestyle modifications to manage your condition effectively.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and I'm a bit worried. I've had pain on my left chest and left hand for about a week now. I went for a check-up, did an ECG and cholesterol test, but nothing was found. The doctor mentioned it might be a muscle problem and gave me some medicine. However, I still feel this glittering sensation on my left chest and arm. And when I go to the bathroom, it takes a lot of effort and makes me uncomfortable. There's also some swelling around my left chest and near my left hand. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain and possibly some inflammation in the chest and left hand. The glittering sensation could be due to nerve irritation. The difficulty in passing stool may be related to muscle strain or weakness. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 10mg twice daily for muscle pain. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for the inflammation. For the swelling, you can try applying a cold compress and elevating the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
