Chest pain can have various causes, including heart problems, muscle strain, or digestive issues. Since chest pain can be a symptom of a serious condition, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the chest pain is severe or persistent, it is crucial to seek immediate medical help.

I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?

Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.

I'm a bit confused about my recent TMT test results since it came back negative. Can you explain what that means for me?

A negative TMT (Treadmill Test) result indicates that there were no significant abnormalities detected during the test. It means that there is no evidence of blockages or reduced blood flow to the heart during physical activity. This is a good sign for your heart health.
