A blood pressure reading of 150/90 mmHg is considered higher than the normal range for adults, including a 50-year-old male.
- Normal blood pressure is generally below 120/80 mmHg.
- A reading of 150/90 mmHg falls into the category of Stage 1 Hypertension according to most guidelines.
- This means your blood pressure is elevated and may increase the risk of heart disease or stroke if not managed.
It's important to:
- Monitor your blood pressure regularly.
- Discuss this reading with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
- Consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing salt intake, and managing stress.
If you have other health conditions or symptoms, your doctor might recommend medications or further tests. Always follow professional medical advice tailored to your situation.

I'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my chest, and I've already seen a cardiologist about it. They had me do a bunch of tests like an ECG, 2D echo, TMT, CT coronary angiography, and even conventional angiography. Everything came back normal, which was a relief. But just a few days ago, the chest pain came back and the ECG now shows a T wave abnormality, possibly anterior ischemia. I'm really worried about what this could mean. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about, and what do you think my next steps should be?
Hello, based on your history and the recent ECG findings showing T wave abnormality suggesting anterior ischemia, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. Since your cardiac tests have all come back normal, the T wave abnormality may be due to other factors such as coronary artery spasm, inflammation, or even non-cardiac causes. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting medication like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief during chest pain episodes. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) and Calcium channel blockers (e.g. Amlodipine) to help prevent chest pain episodes. It would also be helpful to consider a referral to a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal causes of chest pain, as well as a follow-up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm feeling some pain in my left chest, right where the ribs are, just under the man breast. It gets more painful when I press that spot, but I don't have any issues with breathing. My cholesterol was borderline high in my recent health check-up, but my Echo 2D was normal about 20 days ago. The pain level is pretty low, like a 1 out of 10, but I'm just a bit worried about why it's happening. Should I be concerned? Any insights would be really helpful.
Normal, nothing to worry ok.
