Question

I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has been pretty low over the last few years. Should I be worried about anything serious going on? My LDL and triglycerides levels aren't where they should be either. What do you think?

Question

I'm 23 and every morning when I wake up, I feel this weird pain on the left side of my chest, right above my breast. It usually goes away after about 5 to 10 minutes. Should I be worried about this?

Question

My dad's been dealing with high blood pressure, around 155 over 105, and his creatinine levels were a bit high too, at 1.8. He used to be on 5mg Minipress and 10mg Calcigard, but then he got prescribed 20mg Calcigard by mistake. Now, his blood pressure hasn't changed, but his creatinine shot up to 2.6. Could this be because of the change in the Calcigard dosage?
