I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

View allI'm trying to figure out whether Amlovas AT or LupidipA would be a better option for my dad. He's been on Amlovas AT for the past 5-6 years. Could you shed some light on which might be more suitable for him? I'm just a bit concerned and want to make sure he's on the right medication.
both the medications have equal side-effects , physician opinion.

I've been having this mild chest pain on my left side and sometimes feel pain in my hand too, along with back pain. It's been going on for a while and I've already done two ECGs in the past couple of months; both came back normal. My family doctor thinks it might be because I sit for long hours as an IT professional, but the pain hasn't really gone away. Sometimes my chest still hurts a bit on the left side. What should I do about this?
Based on your symptoms and normal ECG reports, it is possible that your chest pain, left hand pain, and back pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues due to prolonged sitting in front of a laptop. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try the following: 1. Take breaks and stretch regularly while working on your laptop. 2. Maintain a good posture while sitting. 3. Use ergonomic equipment such as a supportive chair and keyboard. 4. Consider physical therapy or exercises to strengthen your back and improve posture. 5. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can help with mild pain. 6. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, focus on improving your posture and taking regular breaks to prevent strain on your muscles and joints.

I'm feeling this weird vibration on the right side of my chest every time I think about my phone. It started yesterday morning and seems to happen like every 30 minutes or so. What's strange is that I don't notice it when I'm busy, like cooking, but if I'm just sitting or reading, it really stands out. Could this be something medical, and should I be concerned?
