I've been having this left upper chest pain along with a sensation of irritation or discomfort near the right side of my throat and towards the end of my molar teeth for the last 3-4 days. It's really worrying me. About 2 months ago, I had some heart tests done, but everything came back normal. I do have a BP of 14090 though and was taking TELMA H for two months. I quit smoking 6 months ago and used to smoke around 23 cigarettes a day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

View allI've been dealing with some stuff after getting COVID and it's kind of worrying me. So, I'm a 22-year-old guy, and after COVID I noticed my heart rate was going up. My doctor put me on Nebicard 2.5, and I've been taking it since November 2021. It's helped with slowing my heart rate, but now it's sometimes dropping below 60 bpm. At home, my blood pressure readings are like 109121 with 6075 and sometimes 11569. But whenever I go to the doctor's office, it spikes because I'm so nervous. All my ECG and echo tests look normal though. Is there a way for me to maybe reduce the dosage of Nebicard? I'm trying to figure out if that's something I should be doing or if I should keep going as is. Can you give me some advice on this?
Since your heart rate has been well controlled with Nebicard 2.5 and your ECG and echo results are normal, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if you are looking to reduce the dosage, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to Nebicard 2.5 every other day or reducing the dosage to Nebicard 1.25 under their guidance. It is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while adjusting the dosage.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an echo done and it came out normal, but my TMT results showed mild positive for inducible ischemia. My cholesterol numbers are also worrying me - HDL is 34, triglycerides are at 195, and total cholesterol is 209. I don't smoke and I'm trying to follow the diet and lifestyle changes my cardiologist suggested but I'm still feeling worried. I'm 31 years old and my blood pressure is at 14080. Do you think I might need an angiogram?
Based on your symptoms and test results, it's important to continue following the advice of your cardiologist regarding diet changes and lifestyle activities. In addition, considering your age and the mild positive TMT result, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate any potential blockages in your coronary arteries. To help manage your cholesterol levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower your total cholesterol and triglycerides. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly.
