I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?

Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

I've been dealing with chest pain for the past six months, and it only happens when I take a deep breath. The pain is right in the middle of my chest. I'm kind of worried because I'm not having any other symptoms like breathing issues, coughing, or blood. It's just this gas problem I have. Could this be something serious like cancer?

I had a gastric issue that was resolved with medication, but I recently did a complete blood test. The results showed my hs-CRP level is 9, though my cholesterol levels are normal. I'm really curious about what this means and if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help explain this?
