It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause of your chest pain. However, based on your description, it could be related to conditions such as angina or acid reflux. For temporary relief of chest pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit puzzled about my blood pressure readings. I got a TMT, ECG, and blood tests for my heart, and everything came back normal. But sometimes when I check my BP, the first reading is 15090, and then right after, it drops to 13090. It's happened a couple of times. Why could this be happening?

Sometimes, blood pressure readings can vary due to factors such as stress, anxiety, or even the environment in which the measurement is taken. This is known as white coat hypertension. To help manage this issue, you can try practicing relaxation techniques before getting your blood pressure checked. Additionally, you may consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
