I've been experiencing shortness of breath when I'm walking, climbing stairs, or doing physical activities. My throat gets really dry, and I feel pain in my neck and back. After eating, I often feel heaviness in my chest and have trouble breathing, and sometimes my heart races. Could these be symptoms of a heart issue? I'm really worried about it.

Question

I'm 33 and my blood pressure can fluctuate - sometimes it's around 13590, other times closer to 13085. I've noticed that my heart rate isn't always consistent; sometimes I can really feel it, and other times not so much. It seems to get worse at night. Should I be worried about this? Is it something risky?

Question

I'm really struggling to manage my high blood pressure and I'm feeling worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. Right now, I'm taking Amlopres AT 25 in the morning and plain Amlodipine 2.5 in the evening, but I just don't feel fresh and there's this persistent pain in my ankle. I did try switching to Metaprolol, but it only made my BP and heart rate go up. I also attempted using Telmesartan with Amlodipine, which controlled my BP, but then my heart rate increased. I'm feeling stuck and a bit lost about what to do next. My lipid profile is under control with cholesterol at 150 and triglycerides at 76, and my fasting blood sugar is 106. Could you suggest a better medication plan or any other advice?

Question

I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?
