Can you still have angina even if all your heart tests like ECG, echo, X-ray, and TMT are normal but your cholesterol levels are high? I'm really worried because my cholesterol is high, and I'm not sure if that could mean something about my heart health.

View allI've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

I'm really feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.

Im 17 and dont have high blood pressure issues, and no one in my family does either. I just checked my bp, and first, it showed 13095, which freaked me out a bit, so I retook it, and it went to 13598. Then, I took it yet again, and it showed 13998. Is a bp of 13898 normal? I get really anxious every time I check it, and my breathing changes and I get a bit tense. Can you help?
It is understandable that you are feeling anxious about your blood pressure readings. A blood pressure of 13898 is slightly elevated and may indicate prehypertension. However, given your young age and the possibility of anxiety affecting your readings, it is important to take multiple readings at different times to get a more accurate assessment. To help manage your anxiety during blood pressure checks, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation. It may also be helpful to monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience anxiety or have concerns about your blood pressure, you may consider speaking with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
