Question

I'm a bit worried about my current heart rate and blood pressure. Usually, my resting heart rate is between 70-80, and my BP is around 12585, but since this evening, my heart rate has jumped to 112-118, and my BP is at 14090. Up until a few days ago, everything was normal. I did smoke today after a long break and then checked my readings. Also, I've had a physiotherapy session with IFT for a cervical issue. Should I be concerned about these changes?

The increase in heart rate and blood pressure after smoking can be a concerning sign, especially if your readings were normal a few days back. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. To help lower your blood pressure, you can consider taking medications such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, to help regulate your heart rate, you can take Metoprolol 25mg twice daily. However, it is important to quit smoking as it can have detrimental effects on your cardiovascular health.

Question

I've been experiencing chest pain on the right upper side for a few months now, especially when I lift something heavy. Recently, the pain has also started on the left side and even near my shoulder sometimes. All my tests like RA Factor, thyroid, chest x-ray, and blood tests have come back normal. I occasionally feel mild pain near my breast too. I'm getting kind of worried. What could be causing these symptoms?
