I've been seeing several cardiologists and had a bunch of echoes and TMTs, but I'm still feeling really rough. I used to get panic attacks but haven't had one in about a year. These last 3 days, I've felt off and noticed my blood pressure is on the rise, getting up to like 140104 or 13495. I saw a cardiologist who is a DM, and he said the ECG was normal but the echo showed mild TR, RSVP 45mmHg, and mild PAH. He prescribed me Dilzem 90. This morning I woke up and my heart rate was 111, and honestly, I felt like I was gonna collapse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Given your history and current symptoms, it's understandable to be concerned. While your ECG and echo results show mild issues like mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension, the elevated heart rate and BP need close monitoring. It's essential to follow up with your cardiologist and maybe explore further tests or adjustments to your treatment. Anxiety can also play a big role, so managing stress alongside medication might help stabilize things. Stay in touch with your doctor for tailored advice and reassurance.

View allI've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?
Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure. I take Telma 20 every day, but it's still high at 150100. If I eat out, it shoots up to around 170110. What can I do to bring it down to normal levels?
Increasing Height After 24 _Genetic Limitations_ 1. _Height determined by genetics_: Height is largely determined by genetics, making it challenging to significantly increase height after a certain age. 2. _Growth plates closure_: Growth plates in the bones typically close by the early 20s, limiting further growth. _Exercise and Healthy Alternatives_ 1. _Stretching and exercise_: Certain exercises, like yoga, Pilates, or stretching, can help improve posture, making you appear taller. 2. _Hanging exercises_: Hanging exercises, like pull-ups or hanging leg raises, can help stretch the spine, potentially increasing height by a small amount (0.5-1 inch). 3. _Good posture and core strength_: Maintaining good posture and core strength can also help you appear taller. _Supplements and Alternative Methods_ 1. _No proven supplements_: There are no scientifically proven supplements that can significantly increase height after 24. 2. _Avoid unproven methods_: Be cautious of unproven methods, like height-increasing pills or devices, as they may be ineffective or even harmful. _Realistic Expectations_ 1. _Small increases possible_: While it's unlikely to increase height by 2-4 inches, you may be able to achieve a small increase (0.5-1 inch) through exercise and good posture. 2. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize overall health and wellness, rather than focusing solely on increasing height.

I'm 21 and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are a bit all over the place. It was 149 over 78 at one point, and then it changed to 109 over 70. My pulse rate also jumps around from 110 to 72. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's an issue or if this is normal for my age. Can you help me understand what's going on?
