Question

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?

Question

I'm noticing this strange chest pain that only happens when I lie down to sleep. It's on the left side, and sometimes I even wake up in a sweat. This has been going on for about a week now. At first, I thought maybe it was just a muscle pull or something with my rib cage, but it's not going away. Interestingly, there's no pain when I'm up walking or sitting. I'm really struggling to sleep and have resorted to sitting and sleeping in an easy chair for the past five nights. I'm also managing high cholesterol at 290 with Temlistran 40 mg and taking Thyronorm 40. Could there be a connection here, or should I be worried about something else going on?
