I've been feeling some tightness in my chest lately and it's making me a bit anxious, especially since I'm about to start a new job soon. I recently got an ECG done, and it mentions "LARGED PTFv1" which has me worried. My blood pressure was within normal range over the past couple of months, usually around 12080 or 12090, and my echo from last year was fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm 27 and I've recently noticed my blood pressure's been around 155108, and my heart rate is at 105. I've got a lot of anxiety lately due to work and financial stress. My lifestyle isn't the healthiestI eat a lot of junk food and don't exercise much. I'm 176 cm tall and weigh 78 kg. I saw a doctor who suggested taking METXL TRIO50 for a few months. I'm really hoping to reduce my blood pressure. Is it possible to get back to normal with some quick lifestyle changes?
Yes, you can definitely work on decreasing your blood pressure with lifestyle changes. Here are some recommendations: 1. Start by following a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit your intake of junk food, processed foods, and foods high in salt and saturated fats. 2. Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. 3. Manage your stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, yoga, or meditation. 4. Maintain a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise. 5. Limit your alcohol intake and avoid smoking. 6. Ensure you are getting an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Regarding the medication METXL TRIO50 prescribed by your doctor, it is a combination drug that contains Metoprolol, Telmisartan, and Chlorthalidone. It helps in lowering blood pressure. Follow your doctor's instructions on dosage and duration. It is important to note that while lifestyle changes can help in managing blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking your prescribed medication and follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress.

I've been feeling this chest pain every day, and it's making me really uncomfortable. My ECG, echo, and TMT all came back normal, so Im a bit puzzled and worried. Why isn't anything showing up in the tests even though I'm still dealing with these symptoms? What could be going on with my chest?
Given that your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, and you continue to experience daily chest pain and discomfort, it's likely that your symptoms might not be heart-related. Other possible causes could include musculoskeletal issues like costochondritis or muscle strain, gastrointestinal problems such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety-related symptoms. It would be beneficial to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any digestive issues and consider a musculoskeletal evaluation for potential muscular causes. Additionally, managing any underlying anxiety through therapy or relaxation techniques may help alleviate your symptoms. Please discuss these possibilities with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.
