In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.

I'm experiencing some pain near my chest, specifically above my heart, and sometimes it even shifts to the right side of that area. It's been going on for about two months now. I'm not really sure if this could be related to a heart issue, a nerve problem, or maybe something like gas. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
