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?

View allI've been having chest pain when I walk or go up stairs, so I got a CT angiography done. The report shows I have myocardial bridging of the proximal LAD, about 1.8 cm long. The doctor said not to worry and that no treatment is needed, but the pain on my left side isn't going away. Can you help me understand what this all means and what I should do next?
Since you are experiencing persistent chest pain despite the reassurance from your doctor, it may be helpful to consider medication to help manage your symptoms. You can try taking a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, under the guidance of your doctor. The usual starting dose for Diltiazem is 120 mg to 180 mg per day, taken in divided doses. This medication can help relax the smooth muscle in the walls of your coronary arteries and improve blood flow to the heart muscle, potentially reducing chest pain associated with your condition. However, please consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been having bouts where my heart rate spikes up to 100-105, and I've noticed some mild chest pain with that. When this happens, my heart rate is usually under 100, and my blood pressure is 12680, plus my sugar and thyroid levels are normal. My ECG came back showing sinus tachycardia. Could you guide me on what kind of medicine might help with this?
I cannot view attachments, but given your description of symptomsintermittent high heart rate, mild chest pain, and an ECG showing sinus tachycardiait's important to address these issues carefully. Since your blood pressure and thyroid levels are normal, your symptoms could be related to stress, anxiety, or other non-cardiac causes. Medications such as beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol) may help manage sinus tachycardia and associated symptoms, but these should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep can be beneficial. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan, including whether medication is necessary.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold recently, and I've been on antibiotics for it. When I checked my blood pressure, it was at 160100, which has me a bit worried. I did take a tablet called Stardol for muscle pain a few days ago. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure or anything else? Would love some guidance.
Get your pressures checked again. If high meet doctor and start medicines . Avoid extra salt. Get a 2DEcho and Ultrasound abdomen.
