Question

I've been feeling some tightness in my chest lately and it's making me a bit anxious, especially since I'm about to start a new job soon. I recently got an ECG done, and it mentions "LARGED PTFv1" which has me worried. My blood pressure was within normal range over the past couple of months, usually around 12080 or 12090, and my echo from last year was fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Question

Is walking good for high blood pressure?

Question

Hey, a couple of years ago I had a CT coronary angio, but I had a panic attack because of the contrast media, and my heart rate shot up to 120. The staff didn't wait for it to settle and went ahead with the scan. They said my arteries were disease-free and mentioned something about a right circulation and a small caliber artery. How did they even get accurate images with my heart rate that high? Did they just fool me? Also, they originally told me I'd need another CT angio in 10 years. Do you think I need to do a repeat scan now? I'm just really confused about what I should do next.

Question

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been having some mild chest pain for about six months now. I exercise daily, eat healthy, and I don't smoke. Could this be something serious or is it just anxiety or something else? Should I be concerned?
