View allI'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. It's usually around 13584 or sometimes 14084, but it never goes beyond 140. My doctor prescribed me torsemide for a short periodonly 20 tabletsand said it's mainly because of anxiety. Is this normal? Should I be worried about taking the torsemide, or is it safe to just stop after finishing the tablets like my doctor suggested?
A blood pressure reading of 13584 or 14084 is slightly elevated but not alarming. Your doctor prescribed torsemide for a short period to manage fluid retention, likely linked to anxiety. It's normal in such cases, but it's important to follow up if you continue to feel concerned.

I'm a bit concerned about a TMT test I did a couple of days ago. The results came back as a normal stress test, but while reaching a 100 heart rate during the test, I experienced some mild dizziness that lasted for about 2 minutes. It was manageable and got better after I rested. I could walk and move around fine afterward, but I had a mild headache for the rest of the day. The next day, I felt completely okay, and there were no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal for TMT results? Please check my report and advise.
Based on your description and the results of your TMT test showing a normal stress test with no inducible ischemia, it is reassuring that there are no significant cardiac issues detected. The mild and manageable dizziness you experienced towards the end of the test may have been due to the physical exertion during the test, which is not uncommon. It is good to hear that the symptoms resolved after resting and that you were able to walk and move without any difficulty. The mild headache you experienced throughout the day could also be related to the physical stress of the test. It is positive that you felt completely alright the next day and that no other symptoms occurred. I would recommend staying hydrated and getting adequate rest. If you experience similar symptoms during physical exertion in the future, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. Overall, based on the information provided, there does not appear to be a significant concern, but it is always important to listen to your body and seek medical advice if needed."

I've been experiencing a strange fluttering feeling just under my left breast since last night. I'm not sure if it's just gas or if I'm having heart palpitations, but it's really uncomfortable and kept me from sleeping well. Theres no pain, and my smart band shows my heart rate is 83 with a SPO2 of 96. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
The weird fluttering sensation under your left breast, without pain, could be due to various reasons such as heart palpitations, anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or even gas trapped in the digestive system; given your normal heart rate and oxygen saturation levels, try relaxation techniques, avoid caffeine and heavy meals, and if the sensation persists or worsens, consider consulting a cardiologist
