Question

I'm 22 years old and I smoke regularly. Lately, I've been experiencing a tight feeling and pain in my chest and back over the past few days. I'm not sure if it's related to my heart, lungs, or maybe something gastric? It gets worse whenever I lift something heavy or if I try to get up quickly from bed. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Question

I've been dealing with this dull pain for about four months now, and I'm really starting to worry. I don't have any other symptoms like shortness of breath or anything, but I'm concerned it might be heart-related. Could this kind of pain without those typical symptoms still be linked to a heart issue?

Question

I'm wondering if having a blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal or if it might be something I should be concerned about. I've been leading a pretty healthy lifestyle, but should I think about seeing a doctor?

Question

I'm a 47-year-old guy who's been taking Losartan for my high blood pressure for the past three years. It used to keep things stable, but for the last couple of weeks, my blood pressure has been running high. Do you think this medication is still the right choice for me? Should I consider adjusting the dose or maybe switching to a different medication? I'm quite concerned about these changes and want to make sure I'm managing my hypertension effectively.
