I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

I've been using our digital BP machine at home, and every time I check my husband's blood pressure, it's usually in the range of 140150 over 90100. I'm a bit concerned because he's only 30 years old. I typically measure it first thing in the morning when he wakes up. Is this a normal range for someone his age? What should we do?

check it 3 time a day after food and if the bp still persists more than 140 consult your doctor

After recovering from COVID over a month ago, I've noticed my blood pressure has been consistently high, ranging between 145-165. I've been really disciplined with my diet and make sure to walk twice a day for 30 to 40 minutes. Is this high BP normal for someone in my situation, or could there be something else going on health-wise? What do you think?

After recovering from COVID-19, it is not uncommon for some patients to experience fluctuations in their blood pressure. In your case, with a consistently elevated blood pressure ranging between 145-165, it is important to monitor this closely. Since you are following a strict diet and exercise routine, there may be an underlying issue causing this spike. Considering your history of high blood pressure, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try incorporating medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Additionally, continue with your healthy lifestyle habits and monitor your blood pressure regularly.

I'm really concerned because my last BP reading was 160100, and I can't seem to book a doctor's appointment soon. Can anyone suggest what I should do next or if there's any medication I could consider in the meantime? Any advice would be really appreciated.

you can start taking Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also consider adding Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name: Microzide) 12.5mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.
