Question 1

I'm a little worried about using Benadon tablets. Is it safe to take them without any issues? I've been feeling like the medication I'm using for erectile dysfunction might be affecting my heart, making it feel weaker. Can Benadon help strengthen my heart, or is there another supplement or something else you'd recommend?

Accepted Answer

Concerning symptoms!

Considering your mom's diabetes and numbness symptoms, consult:

1. *Diabetologist*: To rule out diabetes-related complications, such as neuropathy.
2. *Neurologist*: To investigate potential nerve damage or disorders.
3. *General Physician*: For a thorough check-up and referral to a specialist if needed.

Before consulting the doctor:

1. Monitor your mom's blood sugar levels.
2. Keep a record of her symptoms, including when they occur and how long they last.
3. Note any other health issues or medications she's taking.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my moms blood pressure. Her reading came in at 171 over 105 and she's been struggling with it for months now. Are there any effective treatments or suggestions you might have to help manage it?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes and medication. In this case, your mom may benefit from starting medication to lower her blood pressure. I recommend she consult with a doctor to get a prescription for medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) to help lower her blood pressure levels. Additionally, she should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help control her blood pressure.

Question 3

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and anxiety following your COVID-19 infection. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol 20mg twice a day. This medication can help reduce palpitations and anxiety by slowing down your heart rate. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
