I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm really worried because my mom recently had a heart attack and her LVEF is at 25. We have her on Zoryl twice a day to help with her diabetes, and we're planning on getting her blood sugar tested soon to see if it's working. But I'm really concerned about her NTproBNP levels being so high. Is this something that needs another medication to manage? Should I be really worried about the high NTproBNP levels, and does it pose a serious threat to her health right now? Any advice you could give would really help.
For acidity, consider: Lifestyle changes: Avoid spicy fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and manage stress. Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole. Probiotics to maintain gut health. A body temperature of 98.5F (36.9C) is within the normal range. Normal body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F (36.5C to 37.5C). Consult your doctor if you experience persistent acidity or other concerning symptoms.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure. I take Telma 20 every day, but it's still high at 150100. If I eat out, it shoots up to around 170110. What can I do to bring it down to normal levels?
Increasing Height After 24 _Genetic Limitations_ 1. _Height determined by genetics_: Height is largely determined by genetics, making it challenging to significantly increase height after a certain age. 2. _Growth plates closure_: Growth plates in the bones typically close by the early 20s, limiting further growth. _Exercise and Healthy Alternatives_ 1. _Stretching and exercise_: Certain exercises, like yoga, Pilates, or stretching, can help improve posture, making you appear taller. 2. _Hanging exercises_: Hanging exercises, like pull-ups or hanging leg raises, can help stretch the spine, potentially increasing height by a small amount (0.5-1 inch). 3. _Good posture and core strength_: Maintaining good posture and core strength can also help you appear taller. _Supplements and Alternative Methods_ 1. _No proven supplements_: There are no scientifically proven supplements that can significantly increase height after 24. 2. _Avoid unproven methods_: Be cautious of unproven methods, like height-increasing pills or devices, as they may be ineffective or even harmful. _Realistic Expectations_ 1. _Small increases possible_: While it's unlikely to increase height by 2-4 inches, you may be able to achieve a small increase (0.5-1 inch) through exercise and good posture. 2. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize overall health and wellness, rather than focusing solely on increasing height.

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took Prolomet R 50 for the second time tonight. Should I also be taking Ecosprin to counteract any potential effects or just wait it out? I'm not sure what to do next.
Taking an extra dose of Prolomet R 50 (Metoprolol) can lead to low blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. As for taking Ecosprin (Aspirin) along with Prolomet R 50, it is generally safe to take them together as prescribed by your doctor. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
