In my air force medical exam, they said I'm unfit because of something called a CVS review. I'm pretty worried about what this means for me. Can you explain what CVS review medical unfitness is all about? Is it a serious issue?

Question

I've been experiencing this persistent pain on the edge and upper part of my left chest for more than a year now. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation and other times it's more like a squeezing feeling from inside. I'm getting pretty worried about what might be going on. Which type of doctor should I reach out to for this issue?

Question

I've been feeling really anxious about my blood pressure lately since I know it can lead to a stroke or other issues. I've gotten into the habit of checking it a lot, sometimes twice a day. Whenever I feel weird sensations in my head, like a pulling feeling or lightheadedness, I immediately worry it's because my blood pressure has spiked. Most of the time, it reads around 12065 or 12570, but occasionally it'll jump up to 14580 before dropping back down after a few minutes. Is this fluctuation normal, and could anxiety be causing these spikes? Should I be concerned about my blood pressure at my age?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 90 and 100 beats per minute, even after starting a beta blocker. I'm taking Metocard XL 50 mg. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is there anything I should do differently?
