I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure reading, which is 140103. Is it normal, or should I be worried? Can it be improved with lifestyle changes? Would love some advice.

A blood pressure reading of 140103 is considered high and warrants attention; while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep can help lower blood pressure

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results that show IRBBB, but my 2D echo came back normal. I don't have any family history of heart disease, so I'm wondering if my heart's in good shape. Is it okay for me to hit the gym regularly? I already walk more than 10,000 steps a day and jog for about 5 minutes.
based on your description of having an Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) on ECG but a normal 2D echo and no family history of heart disease, it is likely that your heart is healthy and normal. IRBBB itself may not necessarily indicate a heart abnormality, especially if the 2D echo is normal. You can continue with your daily activities like walking more than 10K steps and 5 minutes of jogging. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness during exercise, it is advisable to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. As a precautionary measure, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Im 23 years old and recently I've noticed that whenever I eat a big meal or heavy food from restaurants, I can feel my pulse increase in my neck. What could be causing this?
Increased pulse after heavy meals can be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia. This can happen when the body redirects blood flow to the digestive system to help with the digestion process, causing the heart to beat faster. To help with this issue, you can try to eat smaller, lighter meals and avoid foods high in fat and sugar. Additionally, staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques may also help.
