Question 1

I've been dealing with a really high pulse rate and Im not sure why. Every time I check it with my digital sphygmomanometer, it reads between 95 to 110, and thats without any physical activity. My blood pressure usually hovers around 105 over 55. On top of that, Ive been experiencing severe abdominal pain and a constant feeling of nausea for the past few weeks. Could these symptoms be related, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

Your pulse rate is slightly elevated (95-110 bpm), and your blood pressure is on the lower side (10555). Combined with your abdominal pain and nausea, this could indicate dehydration, stress, or an underlying medical condition like gastritis or an infection. I recommend seeing a doctor promptly for a detailed evaluation and necessary tests.

Accepted Answer

Question 4

I've been diagnosed with S. Typhi O 1160 and S. Typhi H 1160. Does this mean I'm prone to typhoid? If so, what kind of diet should I follow, and are there any medications I need to consider? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

With these test results showing a significant rise in Typhi antibodies, you may be at risk for typhoid fever. To reduce your risk, it is important to follow a healthy diet and take appropriate medications. For medications, you can take a course of antibiotics. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor. In terms of diet, focus on consuming easily digestible foods such as boiled vegetables, fruits, porridge, and soups. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods. Stay well-hydrated with water, coconut water, and oral rehydration solutions. If you experience persistent symptoms or worsening condition, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

-It's generally normal to feel a pulse in your fingertips, especially if you press down on a hard surface or grip something tightly. The pulse you're feeling is likely just the natural blood flow, similar to what a pulse oximeter detects. Since you've had
