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 doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with a blood pressure reading of 15498 for the past year, and I'm really trying to convince myself it'll get better naturally, but it just hasn't budged. Do you think there's a way to bring it down to a normal range?

Consistently high blood pressure like yours may require medication to bring it under control and reduce the risk of complications. I recommend you start taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring of your blood pressure.
