I'm a bit concerned about my BP readings. It was 10866 recently, but before that, it was 9363. Should I be worried about this change, or is it normal? Do you think I need to see a doctor? Please let me know what you think!

-A blood pressure reading of 10866 is considered within the normal range, though it's slightly higher than your previous reading of 9363. It seems like a healthy change, but if you're feeling any symptoms like dizziness or weakness, its worth consult

View allI'm feeling worried because I've been having arm pain alongside chest pain. I've already had an EKG, some blood work, and an X-ray, and all the results were normal except the EKG, which showed some abnormalities. What might be causing this?
Given your symptoms of arm and chest pain, and abnormal EKG results despite normal blood work and X-ray, possible causes could include: musculoskeletal strain, costochondritis, pericarditis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, the abnormal EKG result warrants further evaluation, so consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out underlying cardiac conditions, such as myocardial bridging, coronary artery spasms, or cardiac syndrome X.
