I've been feeling a bit worried lately because I've started experiencing shortness of breath and a slight heaviness in my chest at night. Its not really painful, but its been happening a couple of times a week over the last few days. Im not sure whats causing it or if I should be concerned. Who would be the best person to talk to about this?

View allI'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 113 over 81 is considered normal. My diastolic seems to fluctuate between 81 and 90 and I'm noticing that my systolic always tends to stay on the lower side. Could you give me some insight into whether this is something I should be concerned about or if it's within a normal range?
Blood pressure of 11381 is considered normal. Diastolic blood pressure fluctuating between 81-90 is still within normal range. It is common for diastolic blood pressure to fluctuate slightly. As long as your systolic blood pressure remains on the lower side and within normal range, there is usually no cause for concern.

I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

I've just had a 2D echo and it mentioned mild concentric LVH. I'm curious about what that really means. Should I be worried about it? Could you explain it in a way that's easy to understand?
