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?

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure levels. If my blood pressure is sitting at 14090 even though I'm taking Ramistar 2.5 mg, is that okay? Should I be concerned, or is there anything else I should be doing? I'm not sure if this medication is doing enough, so I could really use some guidance here.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her heart starts beating really fast at night and I'm not sure what to do. It's kind of freaking me out. Can you help?

Palpitations can be caused by various factors. In this case, it is important to first consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, to help alleviate the symptoms, you can consider giving your mother a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for palpitations is around 25-50mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to ensure your mother is staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and getting adequate rest.

I'm feeling a bit worried and would like some advice. I tested positive on December 19th and my CT scan shows corads 4. I've been diabetic for 10 years and had a heart blockage about 5 months ago. Recently, my D-dimer level is at 0.34, and my sugar levels are high, with an HBA1c of 8.9 and an average blood glucose of 208. Right now, I don't have any symptoms, but given my medical history, do you think I should consider hospitalization?
