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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure at 160100, and even after taking medication for four months, it hasn't improved. Yesterday, I was given two different prescriptions, and now I'm feeling dizzy in the morning and can't stand. The doctor mentioned some tests too. Is this something I should be worried about? Why isn't my blood pressure going down?
It is concerning that your blood pressure is still high despite taking medication for 4 months. The dizziness and inability to stand after taking the new medications could be due to their side effects. It is important to follow up with your doctor regarding these symptoms. Regarding why your blood pressure is not coming down, there could be various reasons such as medication resistance, underlying health conditions, lifestyle factors, or incorrect dosage. It is crucial to discuss this with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan accordingly. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly, follow a healthy diet low in sodium, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's been dealing with high blood pressure, and it was at 160100 before she started taking Aginalat, which thankfully brought it down to around 12590. Her X-ray showed her heart is slightly enlarged, and she's got some swelling in her legs. Our doctor just recommended she start taking Aquazide 12.5mg in the morning. Since both medications are for high blood pressure and the swelling, I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take them at the same time? Could it possibly be risky like making her blood pressure drop too low?
If she is already taking Aginal-AT for high blood pressure and her doctor has now prescribed Aquazide 12.5mg for swelling and high blood pressure, it is generally safe to take both medications together as long as they are taken as prescribed. Both medications work in different ways to help control blood pressure and reduce swelling. The usual dosing for Aquazide 12.5mg is 1 tablet once a day. Taking both medications at the same time (1-0-0) should not harm her health or cause her blood pressure to drop too low. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and report any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or weakness to her doctor. Additionally, her doctor may adjust the dosage or timing of the medications if needed based on her response.
