I'm a bit concerned because when I place my hand on my chest, I can't feel my heartbeat. However, I can easily feel my pulse in the veins of my hand when I'm sitting quietly. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

I'm a bit concerned because my blood pressure is reading 11290. That means my diastolic pressure is high, right? I've also had a light headache. Should I be worried about this, and could you suggest some treatments?
Your blood pressure reading of 11290 with a high diastolic pressure of 90 may indicate hypertension. To help lower your blood pressure and alleviate your symptoms of light headache, you can try taking an antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine (Norvasc) 5mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?
do ECG to rule out
