I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG is coming back normal, but I'm still feeling pain in my left arm and shoulder. Last Tuesday, my blood pressure was at 160, and now it's around 11064. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm trying to figure out how much rosuvastatin I should be taking. I'm a diabetic and my blood sugar is managed with medication. I also have hypertension that's under control with medication. I'm not taking aspirin. Could you help me understand how many milligrams I need? Also, between rosuvastatin and atorvastatin, which one would be better for me?
Based on your lipid profile and medical history, it is recommended to start with rosuvastatin. The usual starting dose for rosuvastatin in your case would be 10 mg once daily. It is important to monitor your lipid levels regularly and adjust the dose as needed to achieve the target levels. Atorvastatin can also be effective, but based on current guidelines, rosuvastatin is preferred for its potency and efficacy in lowering cholesterol levels. Start with rosuvastatin 10 mg once daily and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate when I'm sleeping. At night, it sometimes goes as high as 115 beats per minute, but during the day, it's more like 85 BPM. I don't have any other health conditions right now. Should I be worried about this change in heart rate between day and night? Is it normal?
Heart beat rise during sleep in night up to 115 beats per minute is known as nocturnal tachycardia. This can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since you do not have any other existing conditions, I recommend monitoring your caffeine intake and practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime. If the issue persists, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol, starting with a low dose of 25mg once daily in the morning. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with blood pressure around 15090 and my heart rate seems higher than normal, sometimes going to 100. Two doctors suggested I start on Nebi 2.5mg twice daily, and while it made me feel really tired at first, that went away after two weeks. It's been five months on this medication now, but I'm noticing that my consciousness feels a bit off. I can't work or focus like I used to. What should I do about this?
