Ive been experiencing some chest pain on the upper right side whenever I laugh. Its strange because the pain shows up only during laughter and then just disappears. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just pass on its own?

View allI've noticed that for the past six months, my blood pressure has been consistently around 140100. It used to be normal before that. I also make sure to do regular physical exercises. Should I be worried about this change? What could be causing it even though I'm staying active?
I recommend you start taking antihypertensive medication to help lower your blood pressure. You can try starting with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring.

I've been dealing with chest tightness and pain for a few months now and even after visiting a cardiologist who did an echo, ECG, blood test, and chest X-ray, they said my heart is fine but mentioned that my cholesterol is a little high and prescribed some cholesterol tablets. Can you suggest any home remedies that might help with the chest tightness and pain? I'm really curious about other ways to manage this.
Since your heart has been cleared by the cardiologist and you have been prescribed cholesterol tablets, you can try some home remedies to help relieve chest tightness and pain. 1. **Garlic**: Garlic is known to help lower cholesterol levels. You can include fresh garlic in your diet or take garlic supplements after consulting with your doctor. 2. **Omega-3 Fatty Acids**: Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health. 3. **Fiber-rich Foods**: Eating a diet high in fiber from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes can help lower cholesterol levels. 4. **Physical Activity**: Regular exercise, as recommended by your healthcare provider, can improve heart health and reduce chest tightness. 5. **Stress Management**: Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can help reduce stress and chest tightness. 6. **Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol**: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can worsen chest pain and tightness. Please continue taking your prescribed cholesterol tablets as directed by your doctor and incorporate these home remedies for additional support. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been noticing this weird movement in my chest right above the breast, almost like something's trying to burst out. When it happens, it's tough to breathe and my heart seems to race. I've been dealing with this for years, but recently it's getting much more intense. It can happen at any time whether I'm just lying down or walking around. Could you help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations or possibly an issue like acid reflux or a cardiac condition. Please see a doctor promptly to evaluate your heart and overall health, as these symptoms becoming stronger need attention.
