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.

View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure and heart rate. My BP reading came out to be 14997, and my heart rate was 106. I'm hoping to avoid taking medication if possible. Do these numbers suggest any health concerns, and what can I do to get my blood pressure back to a normal range naturally?
To reduce your blood pressure without medication, you can try the following lifestyle changes: - Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables. - Limit alcohol intake and quit smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to track changes. The blood pressure reading you provided (14997) is considered high and may indicate hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about my health and would appreciate some advice. Recently, I've managed to reduce my high blood pressure in just 12 days, which is great, but now I'm experiencing some weird symptoms. Occasionally, I have this sharp chest pain on the left side that feels like I'm being poked with a needle. Sometimes it switches to the right side, and drinking water seems to trigger a bit of pain too. It feels like something's touching my chest inside. My shoulder also feels uncomfortable at times. I've also been passing a lot of gas and sometimes my throat feels really full. These symptoms are similar to what I experienced about two months ago. Does this sound like something serious?
The symptoms you describe, including high blood pressure, chest pain, shoulder discomfort, excessive gas, and a sensation of fullness in the throat, could be due to a combination of gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal factors, possibly exacerbated by anxiety. Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain and discomfort, while musculoskeletal issues could explain the needle-like pain and shoulder discomfort. To manage these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider to rule out serious conditions and confirm a diagnosis. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, stress reduction, and avoiding large or spicy meals, as well as medication like antacids for GERD and pain relievers for musculoskeletal pain. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly and following your doctor's advice on managing it is also important.
