Question 1

So, my diastolic pressure is usually in the 85 to 95 range, though it mostly stays below 90, and my systolic is around 115 to 130. I've had an ECG done, and my lipid profile and urine checkup came back fine. But I'm still wondering why my diastolic is sometimes high. I've noticed a light burning sensation on the left side of my chest whenever my blood pressure goes up. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about this?

Accepted Answer

Period started: April 12th
2. Unprotected sex: April 16th (Day 5 of period)
3. Emergency contraceptive pill (ECP): April 18th (within 72 hours)
4. Bleeding: May 3rd (not as heavy as regular period, lasted 4-5 days)
5. Current date: May 20th (no period yet)

Considering your situation:

- The bleeding on May 3rd was likely withdrawal bleeding caused by the ECP.
- Since you haven't gotten your period yet, there is a small chance of pregnancy.

Next steps:

1. Take a pregnancy test: Wait a few more days and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test.
2. Consult a healthcare provider: Discuss your situation with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.

Question 2

I've been feeling like my heart is racing constantly, almost like how when I'm really stressed or anxious. Could it be related to sinus tachycardia, and what symptoms should I look out for? Should I be worried about this, or does it normally resolve on its own?

Accepted Answer

Symtoms include shortness of breath,palpitations,fainting or dizziness,headaches and anxiety.

Question 3

My mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?

Accepted Answer

Your mother might be showing early signs of developing systemic hypertension. Regular monitoring of her blood pressure will confirm the diagnosis, and she can be consequently started on a anti-hypertensive regimen of medication. Lifestyle modifications with dietary changes may be necessary for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It is best to consult a physician who will monitor her progress over a long period of time.

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?

no problem
