I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?

Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

I've been having a breathing problem that started with feeling like I had a missed heartbeat. Now, every 15 to 20 minutes, I get this short spell where I have trouble breathing, like something is blocking my airway, just for a couple of seconds. I went to the doctor about six months ago, and they said it was nothing to worry about, but it's still happening. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?

Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .
