I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 140100. I know that's considered high, and I'm wondering what medicine I should be taking for it. Is this something I need to be urgently concerned about? Should I see a doctor right away?

According to me you have to measure your bp once daily and make a report after that we can make a conclusion and if it is prehypertension range we can try some lifestyle changles avoid salt tea coffee stress etc

View allI'm a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?
A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.

I'm really worried about my 37-year-old brother. He's been having this mild chest pain for a few months now, right in the heart area, and it sometimes radiates to his arms and back. We had an ECG, a TMT which showed a borderline positive at 10 Mets, and an echo doneall normal, and the coronary angiogram was normal too. The local doctor said it's non-cardiac and just gave him painkillers, but I'm not so sure. Could this be microvascular angina since the TMT was mildly positive and the angiogram came back normal? The pain just comes and goes for him, and it's really concerning. Do you have any advice on what this might be?
Based on the symptoms described and the test results provided, it is possible that your brother is experiencing microvascular angina. In such cases, medications like Ranolazine can be prescribed to help with the chest pain. The usual dosage for Ranolazine is 500mg to 1000mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
