I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

View allI'm 23 and have noticed a persistent dull pain under the second-to-last rib on the left side of my chest, about 23 inches below my left nipple. It's been happening for around 12 days now, mainly during deep breaths or when I try to stretch by pushing my chest out. I've never felt this pain before, and I'm starting to get worried because we do have a family history of high blood pressure and heart attacksmy grandfather and father, specifically. I've also been smoking tobacco for the last three years. Do you think this is something serious I should be worried about?

I'm really worried because my cholesterol is high, like 252, and today I've been experiencing this pain in my left arm, shoulder joint, and even in my hands. Could this mean I'm having a heart attack?
Having high cholesterol levels can increase your risk of heart attack, especially when experiencing symptoms like pain in the left arm, shoulder joint, and hands. This could be a sign of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I'm having this issue where I feel chest tightness when I'm lying on my back, but it's fine when I sleep on my side. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to anxiety or some other health issue? I'm really worried and need some guidance.
Chest tightness when lying on your back that improves when you sleep on your side could be related to several factors, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety. To determine the cause, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough evaluation and may suggest lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding large meals before bedtime, elevating the head of your bed, or addressing anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy. Your doctor can also rule out any serious cardiac or pulmonary conditions.
