I'm concerned because my blood pressure is at 15090. Can you advise me on some remedies or lifestyle changes to help lower it? How long should I be walking every day, and are there specific foods I should be eating or avoiding?

View allCouldn't sleep well last night and only got a little bit of rest today. I didn't have any chest pain earlier, but now, during nighttime, I suddenly felt a shooting pain on the right side of my chest. It only lasts a few seconds, kinda like a sudden leg ache or headache. I also noticed an extra heartbeat. Could this be related to my heart? Why do we get chest pain when we're sleep-deprived?
Chest pain, especially on the right side, along with an extra heartbeat can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. However, in the context of being sleep-deprived, chest pain can also be caused by muscle strain or tension. To help with the chest pain and irregular heartbeat, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, consider taking a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the pain. Make sure to get adequate rest and improve your sleep hygiene to prevent further episodes.

I'm thinking about doing a TMT in a week since I've had hyper acidity issues. I've already done tests like a thyroid profile, ECG, and echo, and everything came back normal. A friend suggested I should consider a TMT as well. Do you think there's a chance it might show something positive?
A TMT (Treadmill Test) is commonly used to assess the heart's response to stress and can help diagnose coronary artery disease. Given that your thyroid profile, ECG, and echo are normal, the chances of a positive TMT result are lower. However, it is still important to proceed with the TMT as advised. If you experience hyperacidity during the test, you can take antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg before the test to help manage the symptoms.

I'm getting really worried because my BP has been consistently at 160 over 120, even after taking the telmisartan and amlodipine 5 mg tablets. What could be happening, and why isn't my blood pressure going down?
Get yourself evaluated for resistant hypertension. Get basic workup also done
