I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.

I'm experiencing some light pain on the left side, just below the neck, kind of near the chest area, and it started today. When I'm using the stairs, I'm finding it harder to breathe. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain in your chest area, possibly due to strain or muscle tension. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (Voltaren) gel to the affected area. Make sure to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and apply heat or ice packs to the area for relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.
