Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.

I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

Can you help me understand if Gabapentin and methylcobalamin tablets are actually meant for pedal edema? My grandmother thinks it helps reduce her swelling, but I thought it was for her neuropathic pain from cervical spondylosis. She's also dealing with grade 2 diastolic heart failure, and her cardiologist prescribed this. I'm just worried if we're using it right and if it really helps with edema, any advice?

I'm really worried and need to know how to use sorbitrate. Should I take it right when I start feeling heart pain, or is there some other way I should be taking it? Please help me understand the right way to use this medication.

Sorbitrate (Isosorbide Dinitrate) works quickly to relieve chest pain caused by angina. It is usually taken at the first sign of chest pain. The usual dosage is 2.5 to 5 mg sublingually (under the tongue) and may be repeated every 5 minutes for a maximum of 3 doses. It is important to follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Remember to seek emergency medical attention if your chest pain persists or worsens after taking Sorbitrate.
