My pulse oximeter is showing a pulse rate of 100, could this be related to my blood pressure? I'm feeling a bit tense about it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

I'm a bit worried about this chest pain I've been having for the past 9.5 months. I've seen a bunch of cardiologists and done a ton of tests like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, lipid profile, and thyroid, but everything's coming back normal. My daily routine includes brisk walking for about 50 minutes and running for 15 minutes, and I don't feel any pain during these activities. The pain occasionally hits on either the left or right side and is pretty mild. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this chest pain?

Chronic chest pain lasting several months with normal cardiac tests such as ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT, along with normal lipid profile and thyroid tests, suggests that the pain might not be heart-related. Since you can perform activities like brisk walking and running without pain, its less likely to be ischemic heart disease. Possible causes of your chest pain could include musculoskeletal issues (like costochondritis or muscle strain), gastrointestinal problems (such as GERD or gastritis), or anxiety-related symptoms. Given the persistence of your symptoms, it might be beneficial to consult with a gastroenterologist or consider a musculoskeletal evaluation. Additionally, managing stress and anxiety with practices like mindfulness or therapy can also help. Please follow up with your healthcare provider to explore these potential causes further.

I've been on Metocard XL 50 for a few months now to manage my hypertension, but lately, my heart rate has been dropping to around 50-52. Could this be because of the Metocard XL 50?
