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.

I'm having some pain on the left side of my chest and it's really worrying me. I'm also diabetic and on top of that, I'm supposed to have cervical surgery soon. Could these chest pains be related to my diabetes or maybe the upcoming surgery? I'm kind of anxious about it all and I'm wondering what I should do next.
Sometimes pain in the left side of the chest can be concerning, especially if you have a history of diabetes and are scheduled to undergo cervical surgery. This pain could be due to various reasons such as musculoskeletal issues, heart problems, or even related to your diabetes. It's important to get this evaluated by a healthcare professional. To help with the pain, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm 27 and just found out I have high cholesterol. My LDL was 190, HDL was 40, total cholesterol hit 280, and triglycerides were at 90. My B12 levels were at 80. The doctor had me on Crestor 20 mg for a few months, which got my LDL back to normal, but it messed with my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I switched to Prelipid and my cholesterol levels stabilized, but I've been having muscle pain and anxiety with it. Also, my family's got a history of high cholesterol. I've been playing lawn tennis regularly for the past few years and I really dont love the idea of staying on medication forever. Once I stop taking them, my cholesterol spikes again. Is there any way I can manage my cholesterol without being on meds for life? Would really appreciate some advice on if these medications are a must or if there's something else I can try!
u have to continue with tab crestor 20 mg at bedtime continuosly ,and recheck the lipid panel once in 3 months, better to continue with the medications.Regular aerobic exercises, protein diet is advised.Alcholol and smoking cessation is needed.Also use of butter and ghee is not advised
