My father-in-law has high blood pressure (159/97) that has been a concern since yesterday. He is 68 years old, not currently using any medications, and had low blood pressure in India before moving to Canada in July. What should be done about his high blood pressure?

I feel strange with a light squeeze sensation, lightheadedness, and elevated blood pressure (148/90), pulse (106), and glucose levels (131-208). I am currently taking several medications including Glyburide, Metformin, Oxybutin, Metropolol, Amlodipine, Farxiga, and Ezetimibe. I am 70 years old with a history of hypoglycemia, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteopenia. How do I lower my blood pressure and manage my symptoms?

My tinnitus is better with the TMJ treatment but I feel that the tinnitus has moved from my ear to my head. Can you tell me more about it, why does it move? Is it on its way to stopping because of the TMJ? Trying to understand why it moved. It does sound quieter as it moved but I’m trying to get if it’s a good thing or not. Do you think I need any meds for the excitability of the neurons or no need? I guess vitamins do the same?

My ball of foot, toes, and heel are inflamed, red, and ache when I walk. The pain started two weeks ago and is constant. I am not managing the pain with any medications and I am 67 years old. Are these symptoms indicative of plantar fasciitis, and what treatments are recommended?

I have 2 ulcers that have been present for 3 to 4 months. They are very constant, do not hurt, and I am not using any medications. The ulcers have been stable. I am 42 years old and have no other medical history that might be relevant. The ulcers are located 'down below' and I am female. I have tried antifungal cream without success. What could these ulcers be and what should I do?
