Question

I'm 20 and have had high BP for a year now. I used to take Metosartan 5040 but my doctor just switched it to Stamlo Beta. Is this a good change for me?

Question

I've been dealing with sinus tachycardia for the last six months. I saw a cardiologist and had a 2D echo and D-dimer test done, and everything came back normal. But in the last couple of days, I've felt a bit uneasy in my left chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been having some pretty intense heart palpitations, sometimes around 130 bpm, which really worried me. Our family doctor suggested I get admitted just to keep an eye on it. I ended up having four ECGs and a 2D echo, and thankfully, everything came back normal. Despite that, I still sometimes feel those palpitations. Is this something I should be really worried about? Also, I've been feeling some pain near my left shoulder blade and the left side of my chest just below the shoulder. Could these be connected?

Question

I'm a 33-year-old guy, weighing 70 kg and standing at 5'10". I've noticed that my diastolic blood pressure has been consistently between 90 to 100 for the past few months. Do you think I should start taking medication for this? I'm really not sure what the best course of action is and could use some guidance.
