I'm going in for a pre-employment medical checkup and I'm really unsure if my blood pressure is at a normal level for a 23-year-old girl. Could you let me know what the typical range is or if I should be worried about anything?

Question

I've been experiencing these weird moments where I feel like I skip a breath or it just goes shallow for a quick second and then goes back to normal. It's kind of freaking me out. I had an ECG done and it turned out normal, except for some Tachycardia, but that was probably just because I got panicked while lying there. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that's relatively common and not serious?

Question

I'm really worried about my health. Every year I get a check-up done, and back in November 2019 at Narayana Hrudyalaya Bangalore, everything was fine my ECG, Echo, and cholesterol were all normal. But I recently did another cholesterol test, and the results are making me anxious: Total cholesterol is 180, Triglycerides 130, HDL 15, Direct LDL 137, and Non-HDL 165. Lately, I've been feeling this discomfort in my arms and sometimes around my neck, which only lasts a few seconds, but it's got me really concerned about a possible heart attack. My blood pressure is at 12880, and I've been on BP meds for four years now. Back in 2017, both the Holter and Ambulatory tests were normal too, just like the Echo and ECG from November 2019. I'm questioning if there's something serious happening. Should I get another Echo? Is an angiogram necessary? I'm pretty scared and would appreciate any advice.

Question

I've noticed my heart rate goes up to 110 or 120 beats per minute when I eat breakfast or lunch, and then it drops back to around 90 afterwards. I'm keeping track of this with my smart band. Is this something I should be concerned about?
