I'm having chest pain but my breathing seems normal. I tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday, and although I don't have any other symptoms right now, I'm worried about this chest pain. What can I do to address this issue?

View allMy mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?
Your mother might be showing early signs of developing systemic hypertension. Regular monitoring of her blood pressure will confirm the diagnosis, and she can be consequently started on a anti-hypertensive regimen of medication. Lifestyle modifications with dietary changes may be necessary for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It is best to consult a physician who will monitor her progress over a long period of time.

I've noticed that my resting pulse rate usually hovers around 90, although it can dip slightly below that sometimes. Is this normal for me? Also, I've observed that my pulse rate spikes to around 120 after I eat and take a light walk, like after lunch. Is this something I should be concerned about? Just a month ago, I went for a health check-up, and both the ECG and 2D echo turned out normal. I'd love to get your thoughts on this.
A resting pulse rate of around 90 beats per minute can be considered within the normal range, although it is on the higher side. It is normal for the pulse rate to increase after eating or during physical activity. A pulse rate of around 120 beats per minute while walking after lunch is also within normal limits, especially if you were engaging in mild physical activity. Since your ECG and 2D echo results were normal one month back, it is reassuring that there are no underlying heart conditions causing these pulse rate variations. However, if you continue to have concerns about your pulse rate, it would be advisable to monitor it regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on managing your pulse rate.

I'm a bit confused about my recent echo reports. The first one mentioned mild MR and MVP, but when I went to another hospital for a second opinion, they only found mild MR, no MVP. What should I do next? Should I be concerned about this discrepancy?
To confirm the presence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist. In the meantime, for mild mitral regurgitation (MR), you can take medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the condition. It is also important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
