I'm concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?

To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been feeling really nervous lately, and my heart starts beating really fast. Sometimes it even feels like there's a tremor in my heart. I'm really worried that my heart might be weak. Can you suggest any treatments or advice to help me with this heart issue?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as fast heart rate and tremors. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation can also be helpful in managing anxiety symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling this sharp pain in the upper left part of my chest every time I cough or yawn, and it's got me worried. Sometimes, it also feels really tight in that area, even when I'm not doing anything. Can you tell me what's going on?
The sharp pain and tightness in your chest could be due to muscle strain, especially around the rib cage, or it could be related to heartburn or even anxiety. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like heart conditions or lung problems.
