I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's been experiencing chest pain once a day for about 5 minutes, and then it just goes away on its own. Could you please let me know what might be going on?

View allI'm feeling some pain in my left chest, right where the ribs are, just under the man breast. It gets more painful when I press that spot, but I don't have any issues with breathing. My cholesterol was borderline high in my recent health check-up, but my Echo 2D was normal about 20 days ago. The pain level is pretty low, like a 1 out of 10, but I'm just a bit worried about why it's happening. Should I be concerned? Any insights would be really helpful.
Normal, nothing to worry ok.

I've attached my reports here and I'm a bit worried about the results. Can you please help me understand if the problem is serious and let me know if there's anything that can be done to treat it?
This is a serious condition that needs to be managed properly to prevent complications. You can start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a dosage of 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help in managing high blood pressure. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my friend who's been having some chest pain lately. She's also experiencing breathlessness, headaches at the back, and shoulder pain for the past few months. I'm wondering if this could be stress-related and what she can do to get some relief.
the symptoms of stress-induced chest pain can include breathlessness, headache, and shoulder pain. To help relieve these symptoms, your friend can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen for headache and muscle pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can help reduce stress levels. It is also important for your friend to address the underlying stressors causing the chest pain, possibly through therapy or counseling.
