I'm really curious about something. Is it possible to have a heart stent removed without undergoing bypass surgery? I'm trying to understand if there's a way to do this less invasively. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm kinda confused about my blood pressure readings and I'm wondering if I should be worried. My BP is currently 110 over 90is that normal? Sometimes it's 126 over 96, and other times it's 115 over 85. Today it's 110 over 90. Should I be concerned, or is this within a normal range?

Your BP readings are slightly on the higher side of normal, especially the diastolic (90+). Occasional variations can happen, but consistently elevated readings (above 12080) could indicate prehypertension. Monitor it regularly, reduce stress, eat healthy, and consult a doctor if it stays high.

I've been experiencing chest pains that feel like gas for a couple of hours now. It really hurts when I move my left side or if I bend over. Plus, whenever I take a deep breath, I get really sharp pains that almost take my breath away. What could be causing this?

Most likely to be musculoskeletal or gastritis.. At your age it's very unlikely to have a heart disease
