I've been experiencing this persistent pain on the edge and upper part of my left chest for more than a year now. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation and other times it's more like a squeezing feeling from inside. I'm getting pretty worried about what might be going on. Which type of doctor should I reach out to for this issue?

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm feeling really anxious because I experienced this sharp pain in my left chest that lasted for about 5-10 seconds. Along with that, there's this heaviness in my chest that's been bothering me. I just got my ECG results, and it mentioned an 800 sinus rhythm and a 401 short PR interval. Could you help me understand what these results might mean? Should I be worried about this?

While the sinus rhythm on your ECG is normal, the short PR interval requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of chest pain and heaviness are concerning and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider right away. Please do not delay in seeking medical attention to ensure that any potential issues, including heart-related conditions, are addressed promptly.

I'm a bit concerned about my husband. We checked his blood pressure yesterday, and it was 13392 with a heart rate of 82. Hes not really having any major problems, but lately, he sometimes feels a burning sensation in his chest and a very minor, frequent pain. He does exercise regularly. He's 33 years old now, and about two years ago, his BP was 12080, then last year it was 13080. Do you think we should be worried or get some tests done?

The blood pressure reading of 13392 is slightly elevated, especially the diastolic pressure of 92. Given the history of occasional burning in the chest and minor frequent pain, it would be advisable for your husband to undergo a thorough evaluation. I recommend he consult with a healthcare provider for further assessment. It would be beneficial to perform tests such as an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to assess heart function, as well as blood tests to check for any underlying conditions such as cholesterol levels or thyroid function. Additionally, a stress test may be considered to evaluate his heart's response to physical activity. In the meantime, it is important to continue with regular exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
