I'm 29 and just measured my blood pressure at 13863. Is this normal, or should I think about seeing a cardiologist for more checks?

A blood pressure reading of 13863 falls within the prehypertension range. It is slightly elevated, especially the systolic reading. For individuals aged 29, it is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to help lower it. If you continue to have elevated readings, you can consider taking antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Remember to also focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm feeling this weird vibration on the right side of my chest every time I think about my phone. It started yesterday morning and seems to happen like every 30 minutes or so. What's strange is that I don't notice it when I'm busy, like cooking, but if I'm just sitting or reading, it really stands out. Could this be something medical, and should I be concerned?
