I'm taking medicine for high BP, but I'm having this recurring chest pain, and it's really concerning. On top of that, I'm dealing with severe throat pain, making it hard for me to eat or swallow anything. My blood pressure is all over the place, and I'm not sure what foods I should be eating or what precautions I should be taking. Could you provide some advice on how to handle this situation?

I'm curious and a bit worried because I'm experiencing pain right in the middle of my chest, not in the ribs or on one side. It's just between my chest and it's been bothering me. What could be causing this kind of pain?

Pain in the center of the chest can be due to several factors, including acid reflux, muscle strain, or even stress. It's important to monitor if the pain is associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or dizziness. If it persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.

Is it normal for my resting heart rate to sometimes drop to 55? I've been keeping an eye on it using my Apple Watch, and I've noticed this happens on about six days over the past month. I'm currently taking Ciplar LA 20 since July, and before that, I was on Petril Beta for two months. Also, when I exercise, my heart rate shoots up to between 150 and 180 but returns to normal pretty quickly after I stop. I had a stress echo test done last December and everything was fine, but I'm wondering if I need any further testing. What do you think?

Resting heart rate between 54 to 60 beats per minute is considered normal for adults. Since you have a history of taking Ciplar LA 20 and Petril beta, which are beta blockers, it is expected to have a lower resting heart rate. Your heart rate increasing to 150 to 180 beats per minute during exercise is also normal and shows that your heart is responding appropriately to physical activity. As long as your heart rate returns to normal after you stop exercising, and considering your previous normal stress echo test results, there is no immediate need for further testing. Just continue monitoring your heart rate and consult your doctor if you notice any concerning symptoms.
