I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take pand before meals and inderal la 20 mg after eating each day. I was prescribed inderal la for my palpitations, but I also have some gastric problems. Could this medication schedule work for my situation?

Yes, you can take Pan-D (Pantoprazole) before food to help with your gastric issues. For palpitations, you can take Inderal LA 20mg after food daily. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent blood pressure readings and echo results. Usually, my BP is around 9070, but recently it's been up to 11090 or 11085, and then the cardiologist recorded it as 13090. My echocardiography showed a trace of AR and grade I LV diastolic dysfunction, yet the doctor said everything looked normal. Is it possible that this grade I LV diastolic dysfunction happened just because of my elevated BP at the time, and could it potentially go back to normal by my next echo? I've never really had high BP before, and now it's sometimes at 10070 or even back to 9070 mostly. Just trying to make sense of all this.

Hypertension medications to be continued, cardiologist opinion for echo.
