I've been noticing that my blood pressure readings are around 13598, 13799, and 12894. I'm wondering if my diastolic blood pressure is considered high. Are there any ways I can lower it, and would medication be necessary? What do you suggest?

View allI'm wondering if a heart rate of 94 is considered high. I've taken a screenshot for reference. Could you please give me your advice on this?
A heart rate of 94 beats per minute is slightly above the normal range for adults, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute at rest. It is not considered high, but it is on the higher side of normal. To help lower your heart rate, you can try relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you continue to have concerns about your heart rate, you can consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?
MRI of the left arm and ortho opinion is advised

I'm really concerned about my mom who's dealing with a lot of health issues like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. Her doctor has prescribed quite a few meds like Dytor, Monit GTN, Orfer XT, Planep, Cardace, Rosucor, Ecosprin, Pantocid, and even insulin and the duolin inhaler. Now, she's been given tryptomer 10 mg, and I'm worried about whether it's really safe for someone with heart failure to take this. Can you help shed some light on this for me?
