I'm a bit concerned about this flickering feeling I've been having in my right chest for the past 45 days. Sometimes it also aches a little, and it happens regularly, like every 15 to 20 minutes, lasting for about 45 seconds. It's near the rib area, and I've noticed my heart's beating faster too. My blood pressure is 13086. Is this something serious? I don't have any other issues, no cough or fever, and I can breathe fine, but this has got me worried. What could it be?

View allI'm experiencing this weird vibration feeling in my left chest that lasts for just a couple of seconds. I got an ECG and an Echo test done today, and they both came back normal. What should I do next to stop these vibrations? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate any advice you can offer.

I'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?

Angioplasty with stent placement was done on me about 2 years ago. I'm on a daily South Indian diet and I'm curious if you could help recommend an ideal diet plan that's still in line with South Indian cuisine. We usually cook with unrefined Gingelly oil, and I'm wondering if that's a healthy choice or if I should be considering a different type of oil. Any advice?
yes
