Question 1

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?

Question 2

I take Tazloc Trio 40 mg in the morning right after breakfast, and I've noticed that about 10-15 minutes later, when I start driving to work, I get this drowsy feeling. It's a bit concerning, especially because I do an intense workout on my bike for an hour before breakfast, and my heart rate is usually around 145-150 bpm. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night because of restless legs, but I still push myself to cycle every morning before taking my medication. My blood pressure used to be pretty high at 160120, and my doctor switched me from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio. Could this drowsiness be related to the medication or my morning routine? What should I do about it?

According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) new guidelines, the number of doses required for the rabies vaccine has been reduced.

- *Pre-exposure prophylaxis*: 2 doses of rabies vaccine are recommended for individuals at high risk of exposure, given on days 0 and 7 .
- *Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)*: For individuals who have not been vaccinated against rabies before, 4 doses of rabies vaccine are recommended over 2 weeks, given on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Additionally, rabies immunoglobulin is recommended on the day of the first dose or soon after .
- *Intradermal vaccination*: WHO recommends a one-week, 2-site intradermal PEP schedule with 0.1mL of vaccine injected on days 0, 3, and 7 .

It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on rabies vaccination.

Question 3

I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been having these sudden sharp pains in my left arm. There's also this weird sensation in my left chest area and sometimes my stomach hurts. Occasionally, I feel a bit short of breath. I'm not sure what's going on and I'm kinda worried about it. What do you think I should do?

It is important to seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption.

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?
