I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was at 140100, so my doctor put me on Telma 20, taking it once a day. I've been on it for four days now, and today my blood pressure dropped to 10040. Is it safe to keep taking this medication?

yes continue the medication ..

I've been having this chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about three months now. I got an X-ray and a CT scan with contrast done, and I've already shown the reports to a pulmonologist three times. He suggested I talk to an orthopedic specialist. I did, but all I got was some painkillers, and they haven't helped at all. Could you please advise me on what might be going on or what I should do next?

Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
