I'm having some concerns and would love your advice. My blood pressure is at 160100 and I'm also experiencing a fever. I used to have anxiety and was on etizolam beta .25, but I stopped taking it about a year ago. A year ago, all my tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and blood work were normal. Should I consider getting these tests done again, or do you think I should go back on the meds?

Given your high blood pressure (160100) and fever, along with a history of anxiety and discontinued medication (etizolam beta 0.25), it's essential to consult your doctor immediately; they may recommend repeating some tests, such as ECG, blood work, and possibly adding new ones like a chest X-ray or inflammatory marker tests to rule out underlying conditions;

View allI'm a bit concerned about this flickering feeling I've been having in my right chest for the past 45 days. Sometimes it also aches a little, and it happens regularly, like every 15 to 20 minutes, lasting for about 45 seconds. It's near the rib area, and I've noticed my heart's beating faster too. My blood pressure is 13086. Is this something serious? I don't have any other issues, no cough or fever, and I can breathe fine, but this has got me worried. What could it be?

Ive been experiencing this weird sensation in my chest where it feels like its shaking. It seems to come and go, lasting anywhere from around 2 to 3 minutes, and then comes back again. What could this possibly be, and should I be worried about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid, fluttering, or pounding heart. In some cases, they may be harmless, but it's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try to reduce caffeine and stress in your daily routine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations.

I'm often noticing my blood pressure is around 13090, and I've also been feeling my heartbeat more in my head and have shaky hands. I'm trying to understand why this might be happening. Should I be worried about these symptoms? I did a treadmill test last August, and it was completely normal. What do you think could be going on?
Your blood pressure of 13090 is slightly elevated, which may be causing the symptoms you are experiencing. The sensation of feeling your heartbeat in your head and shaky hands could be due to increased blood pressure. I would recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques. In terms of medication, you can consider starting with a low-dose of a medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
