According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.

Question

I've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.

Question

I'm 30 years old and started having chest pain and tingling back in December 2016. I went through all the tests like ECG, 2D echo, and a stress test, and everything came back negative. They told me it's anxiety, so I've been on Depranex and Betacap. Lately, I've been getting this burning sensation that starts from my stomach or chest. It also feels like I'm being pricked on the left side of my chest and back. I'm really not sure what's going on with me, and it's making me worried. Could you give me some advice on what might be happening?

Question

My recent CRP levels came back high, and I'm pretty worried about what that means for my health. Is there a chance this could lead to something like a heart attack or even cancer? I'm not sure what steps I should take next. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?
