I'm having this squeezing pain in my chest that's been going on for a couple of days now. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Any idea what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please take one tablet and chew it for faster absorption. Remember to seek urgent medical help for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?
A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations

My blood pressure has been consistently around 150100 for the last two weeks, and it's making me a little worried. I sometimes feel dizzy and really tired, almost like I just want to sleep all the time. I've heard from someone that once you start medication for BP, it becomes a lifetime thing, and if you stop, your BP will just spike up again. I'm not sure what I should do about it. Do you have any advice?
It's important to manage your high blood pressure to prevent complications. In addition to medication, you can make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. You can also try natural remedies like garlic supplements or hibiscus tea. However, if your blood pressure remains high, it's advisable to start medication.
