I've just been told I have high blood pressure and today I took my first dose of Treples 406.25 in the morning. But now it's evening, and I've come down with a slight fever and a headache. Is it okay for me to take Nicip cold and flu tablet with everything else going on?

View allI've been dealing with palpitations since 2009, and although I've had some treatment, they haven't completely stoppedjust reduced in frequency. The doctor advised me to take Rivotril when they start, since they never seem to stop on their own. I'm worried about why they persist and if there's something else I could try? Could there be long-term effects if I'm taking Rivotril for so long? Any advice would be appreciated.
Since you have been experiencing palpitations since 2009 and have been advised to take rivotril when they occur, I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying beta-blockers such as Metoprolol at a low dose to help manage the palpitations more effectively. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. Beta-blockers are commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of palpitations by regulating the heart rate and rhythm.

I've been told that my cholesterol is really high at 396 and my triglycerides are at 910. I'm only 37 and I'm pretty worried about what this means for my health. What steps should I take to get these numbers down?
You have high cholesterol and high triglycerides at a young age of 37. To help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medications to help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. For high cholesterol, medications such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily may be prescribed. For high triglycerides, medications such as Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a starting dose of 145 mg once daily may be recommended. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations closely and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I've been having chest pain when I take deep breaths, mostly in the upper part of my chest. I looked it up online, and based on my symptoms, it says surgery might be needed. Could this be GERD or something else?
Chest pain, especially when taking deep breaths, can have several causes, including GERD, lung conditions, heart problems, and even anxiety. While GERD is a possibility, it's important to rule out other conditions like pneumonia or pulmonary embolism, as they can also cause chest pain with deep breathing. It's crucial to seek medical advice to determine the specific cause of your chest pain and receive appropriate treatment
