I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've had for the past month. I've done all the testsECG, 2D echo, and TMTand they all came back normal. My lipid profile is borderline though. I can't sleep because of the constant headache and chest pain throughout the day. The only way I'm sleeping is with Restyl 0.25 mg, but the chest pain just won't go away. What should I do next?

I'm trying to help my uncle who has angina and usually takes nicorandil, but he's now in the US. We're a bit worried about finding the right alternative medication here. Could you suggest what might work best for him in the States?
In the USA, a suitable alternative medication for angina that works similarly to nicorandil is Isosorbide Mononitrate. The recommended dosage for Isosorbide Mononitrate for angina is usually starting at 10 mg once daily, and can be increased to 20 mg once daily if needed. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage and frequency for your uncle's specific condition.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure, which is reading quite high at 150100. The thing is, I don't really feel stressed or have any other symptoms like dizziness or weakness. I've always had a pretty sedentary lifestyle, but I've started going for morning walks. Do you think that could help bring my BP down to a normal level?
It's good that you have started morning walks to improve your lifestyle. Along with regular exercise, it's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. In addition to physical activity, you can also consider incorporating a low-sodium diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If your blood pressure remains high, your doctor may recommend medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower it. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure effectively.
