I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

View allI've been noticing some strong heartbeats and chest pain on my left side after I eat. I don't have any other symptoms, but it's kind of worrying. I had a stress echo and an ECG done about three months ago, and everything was normal. What do you think could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heart palpitations and chest pain after eating. Since your stress echo, echo, and ECG done 3 months ago were normal, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. However, these symptoms could be due to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief. You can also try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a 39-year-old guy dealing with high blood pressure, and I've been on telmisartan 40 mg for like five years. Just recently, I found out I have Grade 1 Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. I don't have diabetes but my cholesterol is on the higher side, and I'm taking medication for anxiety too. I'm really stressed about this LVH diagnosis and can't help but wonder about my life expectancy with it. Is this something that's going to affect me in just the next couple of years? I'm from Australia and my appointment with the cardiologist is still two months away, so any insight before then would mean a lot to me.
