I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

Question

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been having this mild chest pain on the left side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but happens occasionally, and it feels like my chest is getting a bit heavier. I notice my heartbeat sometimes during these episodes, and there's this weird sensation like something's there in my chest. The pain usually spreads to my left hand and shoulder, and my hand feels kind of numb for about 20 seconds before it all goes away. I went through an ECG, which showed an abnormal heartbeat, but the 2D Echo came out normal. I had COVID-19 around 56 months ago and took the prescribed medication. This chest pain started only after I recovered. Could it be related to my past COVID infection, or is there something else going on?

Question

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my 17-year-old son's blood pressure. It's at 140 over 80, and he's currently taking Vinicor D 25 and Solopose Plus. Could you help me understand what these numbers really mean? Do you think its necessary for us to schedule an appointment with a doctor? I'm a bit concerned about his health.

Question

I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal result yesterday with something about an RBBB block. Is this something serious, and should I head straight to the hospital? Or can I just stick with the medication that was given to me at the health camp?
