View allI'm really worried about my wife. She's 63 and her blood pressure reading is 14090. She's been taking Amlokind 2.5 mg like the doctor advised, but I'm not sure if this reading is okay for her age. Our doctor said it's normal, but I just want to double-check. Is there anything else we should be doing or watching out for?

I'm feeling a strange sensation in my left arm for the past couple of days. Its not painful, just odd, and my blood pressure is around 13080. I'm a bit concerned if this could be related to some heart issues. Could this be something serious? What should I look out for?

I've been smoking for the past four years and drink daily. Seven months ago, I had a stress echo, and it came back normal, even though my lipid levels, Lp(a), and triglycerides were high. Recently, I've been experiencing dizziness that comes and goes, heart palpitations, ringing in my ears, feeling my heartbeat in my ears, the sensation of my heart skipping a beat, and burping. Could these symptoms be related to a heart issue? I'm worried because of my lifestyle habits and these recurring symptoms.
"Based on your symptoms and risk factors such as smoking and daily drinking, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. The dizziness, heart palpitations, ringing in ears, feeling of skipping a beat, and burping could be related to your heart. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider starting on a medication like Atorvastatin (10mg) for high lipid levels and Fenofibrate (145mg) for high TG levels to manage your cardiovascular risk factors."
