I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

I'm feeling a constant headache and a heavy sensation in my head, plus my vision's a bit blurred. I took amlodipine 5 mg and Inderal 80 mg about 12 hours ago. Is it normal to still feel like this after taking these meds? Should I be worried about these symptoms or do I just need to give it more time?

u can take telma h 40+12.5 mg orally once daily for 1 month, salt restricted diet and DASH diet is advised..Review in opd after 1 weeek for BP MONITORING..

My mother-in-law is 65 and she's really struggling with high blood pressure that just won't seem to get under control, even though she's on a high dose of BP meds. Her echo and ECG came back normal, and all her blood tests look good except for high cholesterol. She's taking Rosuvas for that. I'm really worriedwhat else can she do to get her blood pressure in check?

Given that your mother-in-law's high blood pressure is not well controlled despite high doses of medication, it is essential to re-evaluate her treatment plan with her healthcare provider. Sometimes, resistant hypertension requires a combination of medications from different classes. These may include ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs, like losartan), calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine), diuretics (like hydrochlorothiazide), and beta-blockers (like metoprolol). Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a low-sodium diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake are important. Please consult her healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan that may include adjusting her current medications or adding new ones.

I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.
