I'm 58 and I've been dealing with diabetes for over two decades now. Recently, I found out I have mild graded left ventricular hypertrophy. Should this be something I'm really concerned about?

Question

I'm concerned about my blood pressure being 142 over 70. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and what solutions there might be?

I'm having some pain on the left side of my chest, it feels like a pinching sensation. Yesterday it got really bad, to the point where I couldn't breathe properly and felt really uneasy, almost like I was going to die. It seemed to get a bit better after taking a minute-long walk, but once I sat down, the pain came back. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've recently been switched from Telma 40 to Cardivas 3.25, and I'm a bit unsure about the dosage. Is Cardivas 3.25 a lower dose compared to Telma 40, or are they about the same? Would you be able to clarify this for me?
