Question

I'm dealing with anxiety and I've been getting treatment for it, but I still feel this mild, constant pain or sensation in my chest. I had an ECG, TMT, and an echo done and all the reports came back fine. What could this mean?

Question

I've been struggling with this issue for about two years now, and I'm really hoping for some insight. I'm a 27-year-old I.T. professional and this all started with sudden bouts of dizziness and sweating. I've gone through all the usual tests, like MRI and blood work, and the only thing that came up was a low B12 level at 83. Over time, I've begun feeling detached, and my doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. The problem hasnt gone away though, and now I sometimes experience fluttering, dizziness, and vomiting. It feels like I might faint, but I never actually do. I've had TMT and ECG tests twice, and both were normal. I worry it could be some kind of arrhythmia, but during these episodes, my heart rate seems stable with no major changes. It's confusing because these episodes don't seem linked to stress and only last a few seconds. I'm really anxious about this and just looking for a professional perspective on what's happening.

Question

I'm really worried about my brother who's just 18. He's been having mild chest pain and his blood pressure is pretty high, like 14090. The general medicine doctor suggested some tests, which we've done and uploaded the reports. Can you help me understand what's going on with him? Why would he have high blood pressure at such a young age? He's already on medication for it, and I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing this.
