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 feeling this strange beating sensation on the left side of my chest, close to my heart. What could be causing this?
The sensation you are experiencing could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. However, if the palpitations are occasional and not associated with any other symptoms, you can try over-the-counter medication like **Propranolol** at a dose of 10-40mg as needed to help reduce the sensation. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package

I'm a bit worried because I had an Eco ECG TMT and some blood tests done about a month ago, and everything came back normal. But now, for the past two days, I've been having this pain in my left chest, especially when I'm trying to sleep. It's hard to get comfortable, and breathing seems to make it worse when I'm lying down. Any idea why this is happening if all my tests were normal? Could you suggest any painkillers that might help?
