I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.

View allI've been having these sudden blackout episodes lately, and it's a bit worrying. Sometimes when I stand up too quickly, everything just goes dark for a few seconds. Just the other night, I got out of bed to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, then I blacked out and collapsed for a moment. Do you know why this might be happening or what I should do about it?
These symptoms could be indicative of orthostatic hypotension, where a sudden drop in blood pressure occurs when changing positions. To help manage this condition, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly changing positions to allow your body to adjust. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Fludrocortisone to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm experiencing pain when I tilt my head towards my left shoulder. I also have thyroid issues and asthma. When I move my neck to the left, there's this pain that travels from the back of my neck to my chest. Could this be something connected to my heart?
it may not necessarily be related to your heart. It could be due to muscle strain or tension in your neck and chest area. However, given your history of thyroid issues and asthma, it is important to rule out any other potential causes. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle neck stretches may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
