Question

I've been having a tough time over the past couple of years with losing my job and family issues. Lately, I've been feeling this crushing sensation in my chest at times. A few years back, I was told I have mild mitral valve prolapse, but I never started any medication for it. I feel mild pain sometimes, but it never lasts more than two weeks. I'm trying to figure out if this chest pain is because of stress or my MVP. Ive also been feeling really down and anxious, especially at night, often ending up in tears. Some people close to me think I might have some psychological issues. What should I do?

Question

I'm 36, and my blood pressure is pretty high at 142 over 94. I'm worried that if I start taking blood pressure meds, it might lead to erectile dysfunction or affect my sex life somehow. I'm getting married in four months, so this is really on my mind, especially since I haven't had morning erections for the past five months. I already walk about 2 km every day, but can I manage this with lifestyle changes alone? What's the best way forward?

Question

I'm 33 and my blood pressure can fluctuate - sometimes it's around 13590, other times closer to 13085. I've noticed that my heart rate isn't always consistent; sometimes I can really feel it, and other times not so much. It seems to get worse at night. Should I be worried about this? Is it something risky?
