I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?

I'm currently taking Telma 40mg twice a day as my doctor recommended, but I accidentally bought Telma 20 instead. To make up for it, I've been taking two Telma 20 tablets each time. Is this okay, or did I mess up? Should I be concerned about any risks with doubling up like this?

No, as long as the dosage remains the same, it should not cause any significant issues.

I'm a little worried about using Benadon tablets. Is it safe to take them without any issues? I've been feeling like the medication I'm using for erectile dysfunction might be affecting my heart, making it feel weaker. Can Benadon help strengthen my heart, or is there another supplement or something else you'd recommend?

Concerning symptoms! Considering your mom's diabetes and numbness symptoms, consult: 1. *Diabetologist*: To rule out diabetes-related complications, such as neuropathy. 2. *Neurologist*: To investigate potential nerve damage or disorders. 3. *General Physician*: For a thorough check-up and referral to a specialist if needed. Before consulting the doctor: 1. Monitor your mom's blood sugar levels. 2. Keep a record of her symptoms, including when they occur and how long they last. 3. Note any other health issues or medications she's taking. Early diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

What causes hypertension headaches?

High blood pressure can cause you to have a headache, and this kind of headache signals an emergency. This occurs when your blood pressure becomes dangerously high. A hypertension headache will usually occur on both sides of your head and is typically worse with any activity.
