Question

I'm really worried about my blood pressure. Are there any known cases of curing essential hypertension? It seems like my sympathetic nervous system is always in overdrive, causing my body to jump into fight or flight mode for no reason. There's no sign of any tumors on my pituitary or adrenal glands, and all my blood tests and ECGs have come back normal. Is it possible to permanently fix this by getting my sympathetic nervous system back to normal?

While essential hypertension may not be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can be effectively managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, stress management, and medication. Working with a healthcare professional to optimize treatment, including controlling SNS overactivity, is important to help manage your blood pressure and prevent complications.

Question

I'm really concerned about my recent master checkup results. The doctor mentioned I have an abnormal heart rhythm where my heart stops for 1.8 seconds. He said it's a birth defect and suggested I get a pacemaker. I've been feeling dizzy lately, and I'm wondering if that's related to my heart issue. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead with the pacemaker? Are there any other treatments or alternatives you would recommend?

Question

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
