I'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.

A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm a 33-year-old guy, weighing 70 kg and standing at 5'10". I've noticed that my diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 for the past few months. Do you think I should start taking medication for this? I'm really not sure what the best course of action is and could use some guidance.

Question

I'm wondering if I should stop taking Concur cor 2.5 that I've been on for a month. I found out last month during a routine check-up that I had a 7.5 load of APCs supraventricular in the holter, which is why it was prescribed. But I didn't really have any symptoms before, and Im not feeling any now. Lots of folks say I might not have needed it in the first place, and I'm a bit worried that taking it when it's not necessary might have side effects. If I do decide to stop, what's the best way to taper off since I heard stopping beta blockers suddenly isn't good? Also, are there any follow-up tests I should be doing after I stop the medication? My echo was normal last month.

Question

I'm 30 and just started working out, but I've noticed during cardio my heart rate goes above 180. Is this normal?
