I've been dealing with high blood pressure for a few months now, and ever since, I've started having breathing issues at night when I'm trying to sleep. It's really concerning me, and I'm not quite sure what steps I should take to get this under control. Any advice on how to address this would be greatly appreciated.

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing chest pain again. A few months ago, I had a TMT and it was negative, and my echo was normal. I don't have a history of any major diseases and I dont smoke or drink alcohol. But today, the pain came back, and I've been having some breathlessness because of my asthma. Could the asthma be causing this chest pain or should I be concerned about something else?

Question

I'm really curious about something - I've had tons of ECGs, echos, and TMTs over the past year, and while I suspect I might have POTS because my heart rate jumps to 120 bpm when I walk, that's not what I'm most concerned about right now. Today, I'm experiencing these really strong, sharp chest pains. They come and go, happening in one small spot that hurts for 23 seconds and then disappears, or sometimes it's a dull ache lasting 24 seconds and then it's gone. Occasionally, the pain stays for 30 seconds to a minute, which I've found is called Texidor's twinges. The sharp pains are intense, happening in one spot or feeling like multiple wires in my chest wall are hurting for a second, but then they just vanish. Even with the dull pains, they stop after a few seconds, and I've also been coughing for the last few days. Do you think this could be heart-related? Sometimes, stretching makes the pain worse before it eases up. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm trying to understand my echo report, which mentioned moderate systolic dysfunction. What does this mean exactly? I'm a bit concerned because the report is already six months old. Can you help me make sense of this?
