I can see my pulse visibly pulsating right below my thumb. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it sure looks odd. I don't remember seeing it there before, or maybe I just never noticed it. Should I be worried or is this normal?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an echo done and it came out normal, but my TMT results showed mild positive for inducible ischemia. My cholesterol numbers are also worrying me - HDL is 34, triglycerides are at 195, and total cholesterol is 209. I don't smoke and I'm trying to follow the diet and lifestyle changes my cardiologist suggested but I'm still feeling worried. I'm 31 years old and my blood pressure is at 14080. Do you think I might need an angiogram?

Question

I'm having trouble breathing when I lie on my back, and I've been dealing with chest pain. There's no constant cough, but I do cough sometimes, and I haven't had a fever. I've also been experiencing nausea and the urge to vomit, along with shortness of breath. Every now and then, my head spins, and I start sweating and feeling numbness in my body. It's been about 57 days now with the breathing trouble, short breath, and chest painshould I be worried? Is it safe for me to visit a hospital right now?
