I'm a bit worried because yesterday I collided with someone while playing football and hit my chest pretty hard with my fist. I used a cold pack right away, and the pain seemed to lessen, but this morning it was back just as bad. There's no redness or pain when I breathe, but if I move or stretch, like getting out of bed, it really hurts. Sometimes it even hurts when I cough hard. I've been taking dolo after meals in the morning and at night, and I'm using belladonna plaster along with hot water pack treatments twice a day. Should I go see a doctor right away, or is it okay to monitor the pain a bit longer? Am I doing the right things with the medicines and treatments?

I'm having this neck pain for the last couple of days, and it feels like my neck is kind of locked up, maybe like suluku or something. Could you recommend any ointments or balms that might help with this issue?

Feeling a heavy head, especially after eating, can be uncomfortable. Given your blood pressure (BP) reading of 15090 mmHg, it's essential to address both concerns. However, I must emphasize that medication should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. _Possible Causes of Heavy Head_ 1. _High Blood Pressure_: Uncontrolled high BP can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness in the head. 2. _Digestive Issues_: Eating certain foods can trigger digestive issues, leading to a heavy head feeling. 3. _Dehydration_: Inadequate hydration can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness. _Lifestyle Changes_ 1. _Monitor and manage BP_: Work with your doctor to control your BP through lifestyle changes and medication. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration. 3. _Eat smaller, frequent meals_: Avoid heavy meals that can exacerbate digestive issues. 4. _Avoid trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that trigger digestive issues or headaches. _Medication (only under medical guidance)_ 1. _BP medication_: Your doctor may prescribe medication to help control your BP. 2. _Pain relief medication_: Over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be recommended for headaches.
