I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. Normally, it sits around 12090, but every now and then, it'll spike to about 130100, or drop to 10080. It used to be at 10070. I'm trying to find a natural solution and wondering if Ayurveda could help manage this, as I really don't want to be on medication forever. I lead a pretty active lifestyle, and I'm really careful with my diet and regular exercise. What do you think? Is there an alternative approach I could try?

View allSo, I was wondering, while I was out trekking recently, my heart rate spiked up to 85% of what my target heart rate is, which is about 185 BPM. During this, I felt a bit of pain on the left side of my neck. Its kind of a pulsating ache, but not too intense, and it seems to improve when I rest. Is this something normal? Ive already done some tests like a blood test showing my cholesterol is in range, an ECG that came back normal with sinus tachycardia, and both an ECHO 2D and TMT that are normal. By the way, Im 26 years old. Can you shed some light on this?
Hello, based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing some muscle strain or tension in your neck, especially since the pain improves with rest. However, given your normal test results and age of 26 years, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. To help with the mild pulsating pain in your left side of the neck, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area to help relax the muscles. Make sure to stay hydrated and practice good posture while trekking to prevent further strain on your neck muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation

I'm curious about the Inderal LA 20 tablet. What exactly is it used for? Can it help with blood pressure, or is it meant for something else?
Inderal LA 20 tablet is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), as well as to prevent chest pain (angina) and to improve survival after a heart attack. Propranolol can also be used to prevent migraine headaches and to manage symptoms of anxiety. The usual dosage for high blood pressure is 120-240 mg per day, divided into smaller doses.
