I'm 31 and a smoker, and I've noticed my heart starts racing after I eat a big meal, when I'm in tense situations, climbing stairs, or smoking. Does this mean I might have a heart problem? What should I do about it?

I've been experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

Hey, I've got a situation that's been bothering me. My blood pressure is pretty high, around 16510, which I know is far from normal. My lifestyle is generally healthyI don't smoke or drink alcohol. I also don't deal with anxiety or lead a sedentary lifestyle, and I avoid fast food. My blood sugar is normal when I fast. I'm just confused about why my BP is still high. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

High blood pressure of 165100 should be addressed promptly to prevent complications. I recommend starting with medication to lower your blood pressure. You can start with a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg once daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques can also help in managing your blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are important to ensure your blood pressure is well controlled.
