Question

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Whenever I get tired, I start having short breaths and feel this chest pain. I can walk for a bit if I go slowly, but after a few minutes, I start running out of breath and the chest pain comes back. Does this sound like something serious? What should I do about it?

Question

I've been noticing something a bit unsettling recently, like my heart seems to be beating really hard, especially when I'm just lying down or relaxing. My resting heart rate is around 94bpm, which seems a bit high to me? Also, I can feel this strong pulse over my suprasternal notch and some weird tingling vibrations on the right side of my sternum near the carotid. Its almost like a sensation of anxiety, but I dont feel anxious at all. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on?

Question

My mom has high blood pressure, and her recent reading was 14090. She's been taking AMTAS daily to manage it, but I'm worried if that reading is still too high. Should we be adjusting her medication or doing something different to get it under control?
