I'm really worried because for the past week I've been experiencing heaviness in my chest, my left arm feels strange, and I've even had some episodes where I've felt unconscious and really anxious. It's getting to the point where I can't sleep at night. Do you think there's something serious going on, and what should I do about it?

I'm wondering if it's okay to take my blood pressure while I'm lying down or if I should always be in a sitting position. Does the blood pressure reading change when I'm lying down compared to when I'm sitting?
It is generally recommended to measure blood pressure while sitting, as this is the standard position for accurate readings. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to measure blood pressure while lying down, especially for patients who have difficulty sitting or standing. Blood pressure readings can vary depending on body position, with readings typically lower when lying down compared to sitting or standing.
