The effects of added sugar intake include higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease which are all linked to an increased risk for heart attack

Question

I've recently turned 23, and I've been monitoring my blood pressure at home with an Omron monitor I got last month. My readings always seem a bit high, with systolic between 125-135 and diastolic between 85-95. My heart rate is hanging out between 95-110, even when I'm just resting. I've been feeling some burning and pressure on my chest with occasional pain. It's not severe, but it happens. I had an ECG and Echo last year, and the doctor said they were normal, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about these numbers and symptoms? Do you think I should consult with a doctor?

Question

I'm wondering if you can help me understand what's going on with my blood pressure. It's been fluctuating a lot, sometimes shooting up to 180 over 110, and my pulse rate gets really high too. My heart and sugar levels are fine, but this blood pressure issue is worrying me. Do you have any advice or medication suggestions to help stabilize it?

Question

I'm trying to help my uncle who has angina and usually takes nicorandil, but he's now in the US. We're a bit worried about finding the right alternative medication here. Could you suggest what might work best for him in the States?
