I've been noticing that whenever I exercise for a while, my left carotid artery starts pulsating really strongly and it actually hurts a bit. I'm a 16-year-old female, and I recently got my bloodwork done and saw both a cardiologist and a lung specialist. They said everything's fine, except I've got costochondritis. I also tend to feel a little lightheaded, and I get a few headaches each week. Could this be genetic or related to something else? I'm just a bit worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.

Maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI
- Keep yourself well hydrated (Aim to drink 3-4 litersday)
- Have a healthy and well balanced diet
- Monitor your BP when you get lightheaded If the condition persists or worsens visit the cardiologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ECHO, thyroid profile, etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.

View allI'm dealing with high blood pressure, and it's sometimes reaching 160110. I also recently tested positive for inducible ischemia, and I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Could you please advise what steps I should take next?
It's important to manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In terms of medication, you may benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril at a starting dose of 10 mg once daily. Additionally, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25 mg once daily can help with both high blood pressure and ischemia. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
