Why is hypertension a risk factor for diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hypertension might not cause Diabetes directly but increases the risk. People with high blood pressure usually have insulin resistance leading to Diabetes compared to those with typical blood pressure.

View allI'm wondering if my dad, who got a pacemaker back in 2016 and is currently on medications like BPAsomex, Atorva, and LosarH, can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine. Should he continue taking these meds before and after getting the vaccine, or is there anything specific we need to do? He's okay right now, but I just want to make sure everything stays on track.

I've been feeling really anxious about my heart lately because I keep having these palpitations and negative thoughts that something might be wrong. I'm 23 and my GP said my echo, ECG, and blood tests came back normal, so they think it's just anxiety and overthinking. But I'm still really worried. Is it possible there could still be an underlying heart issue, or should I trust the tests?
Yes, for a 23-year-old male, a normal echo, ECG, and blood test are usually sufficient to rule out major heart problems. Since your GP has already reassured you that your palpitations are likely due to anxiety and overthinking, you can trust their assessment. To help with your anxiety symptoms, you can take **Xanax (Alprazolam)** 0.25mg as needed. It is important to practice stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, and deep breathing techniques.
