I'm a bit worried after seeing my chest x-ray results. It mentions mild bilateral perihilar and basal congestion along with borderline cardiomegaly. Can you explain what this means, and how I might be able to treat it or manage the symptoms?

Question

I'm feeling some pain in my left chest, right where the ribs are, just under the man breast. It gets more painful when I press that spot, but I don't have any issues with breathing. My cholesterol was borderline high in my recent health check-up, but my Echo 2D was normal about 20 days ago. The pain level is pretty low, like a 1 out of 10, but I'm just a bit worried about why it's happening. Should I be concerned? Any insights would be really helpful.

Question

I've been feeling a bit uneasy since lunch yesterday and decided to see a doctor around 5:30 because I was anxious. He suggested an ECG, and my report mentioned a moderate T wave abnormality and an anterior ischemia with 0.1 mV T wave in V3V4, calling it an abnormal ECG. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about this? Is there something serious I need to be concerned about?

Question

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 16080, which seems pretty high. Should I be concerned about potential heart problems in the future? I'm also noticing my pulse rate is at 98. What do you think could be going on here?
