My mom just turned 49 and she was recently diagnosed with aortic sclerosis and AR AT. Her blood pressure's been super high at 190100, even with medication. I'm really worried. Is this something that can be cured, and what steps should we take to prevent heart failure?

condition of aortic sclerosis with AR+ and AT+ along with high blood pressure of 190100 can be managed with medication. To help prevent heart failure and further complications, it is important to control her blood pressure. She can take medications like Amlodipine 5mg once daily and Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure and reduce the strain on her heart. Additionally, she should follow a heart-healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, engage in regular physical activity, and avoid smoking. Regular follow-up with her healthcare provider is essential to monitor her condition and adjust treatment as needed

Question

I've been feeling this dull pain near my shoulder or armpit, and I'm starting to worry if it might be cardiac-related. Though, it could just be a muscle strain, like what WebMD is suggesting. I wanted to get some opinions to understand what might be going on. Could it really be something related to the heart, or is it more likely muscular?

Question

I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm really concerned. I'm a 23-year-old male and since January, I've had some pain in my right and left chest, as well as below my ribs. I tried taking medication for acidity at first. I noticed my heart rate is around 65 bpm while sitting but jumps to 90-100 bpm when I stand. This got me worried so I went to the hospital where my BP was 11090. The ECG came back normal, but the doctor suggested a 2D echo test. I've attached the results. I was on esomacD 40mg and etizola beta 0.25mg until the end of February, which seemed to help reduce the chest pain and occasional racing heartbeats. Today though, while resting, I felt a brief pain for about 3 seconds in the middle of my ribs on the left bottom side. My pulse was normal then. Could this be a sign of a heart attack or is there any risk involved?

Question

I'm really worried because every time I feel stressed, I get chest pain and end up panicking. I rush to get an ECG and 2D echo done, but it's always normal, which is honestly exhausting. I'm scared it's something serious like a heart attack, but then the tests say otherwise. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
