I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?

It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure is quite high, 170100, even though she's on medication. She's not eating well and feels really weak. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies or foods she can try? Maybe some juices that could help? I'm just trying to find anything that might make her feel better.
To help control your mother's high blood pressure (170100), consider these home remedies and dietary suggestions in conjunction with her prescribed medication: encourage her to drink plenty of water, herbal teas like hibiscus, and juices like pomegranate, beetroot, and amla; incorporate potassium-rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes; add omega-3 fatty acid sources like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts; use herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon; and consider supplements like CoQ10, vitamin D, and magnesium

I've been having these palpitations for a while now, and lately, my hands start shaking with each heartbeat. If I rest something like a pen on my chest, it moves up and down. Plus, there's this visible pulsation, but I can't really pinpoint exactly where it's happening in my chest or abdomen. What could this mean?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations along with visible pulsations. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation. One possible medication that can help with palpitations is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual dosage for palpitations is 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management of your symptoms.
