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.

I'm a 34-year-old woman and recently got some abnormal test results back, and I'm really anxious about what they could mean. My doctor ordered these tests because I've been having dizziness and feeling light-headed a lot. My blood work from six months ago was all normal and I havent had any infections recently. I've never had any heart issues before, so I'm not sure what these numbers could indicate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm experiencing some pain in my left chest and left hand for the last couple of days, and it feels like it might be related to gas. Can you suggest any remedies or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gastric symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
