I've been experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

Why are my blood pressure readings different between my arms? When I check my left arm, it's 12080, but my right arm shows 13080. I'm using an Omron monitor, which I believe is pretty accurate. Should I be worried about these differences?

Having slightly different blood pressure readings between arms is not uncommon and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if there is a consistent and significant difference in blood pressure readings between arms, it may indicate underlying health issues such as peripheral artery disease or other cardiovascular problems. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and monitoring. In the meantime, you can continue to monitor your blood pressure regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
