I'm really worried about my cousin. Her heart rate is consistently over 120, and her blood pressure is averaging around 14080. What's strange is she doesn't seem to have any symptoms. Can you explain why her heart rate might be so high all the time and if it's something we should be seriously concerned about?

View allI've been noticing that whenever I exercise for a while, my left carotid artery starts pulsating really strongly and it actually hurts a bit. I'm a 16-year-old female, and I recently got my bloodwork done and saw both a cardiologist and a lung specialist. They said everything's fine, except I've got costochondritis. I also tend to feel a little lightheaded, and I get a few headaches each week. Could this be genetic or related to something else? I'm just a bit worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.
Maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI - Keep yourself well hydrated (Aim to drink 3-4 litersday) - Have a healthy and well balanced diet - Monitor your BP when you get lightheaded If the condition persists or worsens visit the cardiologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ECHO, thyroid profile, etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.

I've been feeling these twitching sensations in my chest for about 11.5 months now. It's like a really minor shock or spasm right in the center but a bit below my chest, and they last for less than a second. It used to happen less often, but in the last few days, it's been like 5 or 6 times a day, if not more. I've never felt anything like this before. I should probably mention I smoke, but not too heavily, and I've decided to quit after feeling these twitches. I used to go to the gym regularly before I quit a month ago, and I don't think I had this issue when I was lifting weights. I've also noticed that these twitches happen more if I haven't eaten or slept for a while, though that might just be a coincidence. It's stressing me out and making me really uncomfortable. Any ideas on what could be causing this or what I should do?

I'm a bit worried because every time I laugh, my chest hurts for a short while. I had COVID back in April and was in quarantine for 16 days. I hadn't smoked or had any drinks for a month after that, but I've started again recently. Could this be causing the chest pain?
