I've been taking cilametxl 50mg, moxvas 0.3mg, and minipress XL 5mg every morning and night, but I've noticed that my blood pressure drops temporarily and then spikes to around 17598 or 18595 by 4 p.m. and is high again early in the morning around 6 a.m. Why does this happen, and what can I do to manage these fluctuations better?

I've been managing my high BP with Olmesar H 20 and it's been under control. But recently, my triglycerides level went up to 201. My doctor suggested I start taking T Atorva 10MG for three months. I'm a bit worried and curiouswill taking T Atorva become like the BP meds where I have to rely on it for life?

Atorva (atorvastatin) is prescribed to manage high triglycerides and other cholesterol levels and is often used for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction. While taking it for three months can help lower triglycerides, whether you need to continue it long-term depends on your subsequent cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular risk profile. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider after the initial three months to reassess your lipid levels and determine the need for ongoing treatment. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are also crucial in managing triglycerides. Discuss with your doctor about the long-term plan and any concerns you have.

I've been experiencing this pinching pain in my heart area, and I'm really worried about it. Someone mentioned it could be musculoskeletal pain or maybe gastritis. Can you help me understand what musculoskeletal pain actually is and how it might relate to what's going on with me?

Musculoskeletal pain refers to pain that affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the body. It can be caused by various factors such as overuse, injury, poor posture, or muscle tension. To help relieve musculoskeletal pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream like Bengay or Icy Hot to the affected area can also provide relief. Stretching exercises, physical therapy, and heat or ice therapy may also be beneficial in managing musculoskeletal pain.

So, I've been prescribed aspirin 75 mg by my doctor, but because of the weekend lockdown, I wasn't able to visit them. I ended up buying ecosprin 75 mg from the pharmacy instead. I'm curious, are aspirin 75 mg and ecosprin 75 mg the same thing?
