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.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My current readings are Chod Pod at 218, LDL cholesterol at 150, and Chol Hdl at 4.7. Could these affect my penis erection?
Elevated cholesterol levels, such as an LDL cholesterol level of 150, can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to plaque buildup. This can reduce blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis, and potentially lead to erectile dysfunction (ED). Managing your cholesterol through diet, exercise, and possibly medications can improve overall vascular health and reduce the risk of ED.

So, my diastolic pressure is usually in the 85 to 95 range, though it mostly stays below 90, and my systolic is around 115 to 130. I've had an ECG done, and my lipid profile and urine checkup came back fine. But I'm still wondering why my diastolic is sometimes high. I've noticed a light burning sensation on the left side of my chest whenever my blood pressure goes up. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about this?
Period started: April 12th 2. Unprotected sex: April 16th (Day 5 of period) 3. Emergency contraceptive pill (ECP): April 18th (within 72 hours) 4. Bleeding: May 3rd (not as heavy as regular period, lasted 4-5 days) 5. Current date: May 20th (no period yet) Considering your situation: - The bleeding on May 3rd was likely withdrawal bleeding caused by the ECP. - Since you haven't gotten your period yet, there is a small chance of pregnancy. Next steps: 1. Take a pregnancy test: Wait a few more days and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test. 2. Consult a healthcare provider: Discuss your situation with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
