I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful. I have this fear of vomiting (emetophobia) so anything unusual with my body really freaks me out. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

-Chest discomfort can sometimes be linked to things like indigestion or stress, but if it's been ongoing and sudden, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out anything serious, especially with your fear of vomiting. Your health and peace of

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure. Are there any known cases of curing essential hypertension? It seems like my sympathetic nervous system is always in overdrive, causing my body to jump into fight or flight mode for no reason. There's no sign of any tumors on my pituitary or adrenal glands, and all my blood tests and ECGs have come back normal. Is it possible to permanently fix this by getting my sympathetic nervous system back to normal?
While essential hypertension may not be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can be effectively managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, stress management, and medication. Working with a healthcare professional to optimize treatment, including controlling SNS overactivity, is important to help manage your blood pressure and prevent complications.

My dad had a heart attack recently and the doctor suggested he needs an angiography. I'm really worried and wonder what we should expect from this procedure. Is it risky, or are there any side effects we should be aware of? How soon should he have it done, and is there anything specific we need to prepare for before the angiography?
After a heart attack, angiography is often recommended to assess the extent of blockages in the coronary arteries. This procedure can help determine the best course of treatment. Your father may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, and Atorvastatin to prevent further complications and manage his heart health. The dosage and duration of these medications will be determined by his doctor based on his individual condition.
