I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

View allI'm feeling like my head's really heavy almost all the time, and it just gets worse after I eat. My blood pressure's at 150 over 90. Could you suggest any medication for this?
Delayed periods after chickenpox can be concerning. Given your regular diet and no other apparent issues, let's explore possible reasons: *Possible Causes* 1. *Hormonal imbalance*: Chickenpox can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods. 2. *Stress and infection*: The physical stress of fighting off the chickenpox virus can affect your menstrual cycle. 3. *Temporary amenorrhea*: Some women experience temporary amenorrhea (absence of periods) after a viral infection like chickenpox. *What to Expect* 1. *Wait for another week*: If you've already missed your period by a week, wait for another week to see if your period starts naturally. 2. *Take a pregnancy test*: If you've had unprotected sex, take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delayed period. 3. *Consult a gynecologist*: If your period doesn't start after another week or if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other concerning symptoms, consult a gynecologist for guidance. *Self-Care* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from the infection. 2. *Maintain a balanced diet*: Continue eating a nutritious diet to support your overall health. 3. *Manage stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises

I'm a 36-year-old unmarried woman with a slim build and usually pretty active, but lately due to lockdown, Ive been sitting and working a lot. Today, I decided to do some cleaning, like mopping and sweeping, and afterwards, I started having really strong palpitations and felt restless, especially around my neck where the carotid artery is. I'm still experiencing palpitations with any physical work and feel a bit breathless because of them. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, but after looking it up online, Im worried it might be a heart attack. My citys still in lockdown, so I cant visit a doctor, and I'm scared something serious is going on. Can you advise on what might be happening and what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and restlessness after doing physical work. These symptoms can be concerning, but it is important not to jump to conclusions like a heart attack without proper evaluation. It is possible that the increased physical activity after a period of inactivity is causing these symptoms. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a rest and lying down in a comfortable position. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid any stimulants like caffeine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you can take a tablet of propranolol 10mg for palpitations. However, if you continue to feel unwell or if the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention. I would recommend monitoring your symptoms closely and if they continue or worsen, please seek medical help as soon as possible
