Question

I'm really worried about my blood pressure. Is 14080 considered healthy or should I be concerned? I feel pretty stressed about it. Also, what are some ways I can work on lowering my blood pressure?

Question

I've been experiencing some chest heaviness, so I got an ECG done today. Could you let me know if it looks normal? I'm a bit concerned about this enlarged PTFV1 finding is that something to worry about? Would really appreciate your help.

Question

So, my dad has been having this burning feeling in his feet and they found out its because of a blockage in the artery in his legs. He also has some kidney problems that we didnt know about because hes had high blood pressure for a long time without knowing it. Now theyre suggesting he gets an angiography done for both his leg and chest, and theyve started him on hypertension meds. Hes super active and has been walking for at least 2 hours every day for years without any issues. Do you think going through with the angiography and possibly angioplasty makes sense for someone his age since he doesnt really show any other symptoms?

Question

I'm really confused right now. I went to a hospital because I was having some gastric problems, and the doctor there did a troponin test that came back positive at 0.03. Then, when I spoke to my family doctor, he suggested getting a second opinion, which I did at MMM. They said the results were negative. I'm stuck in this weird spot of not knowing what to believe or trust. Could you help me figure out what to do next?
