Hey, I went to the hospital today because I've been having really bad chest pain from my GERD. They gave me a Pan injection, but the pain hasnt gone away. The doctor said I should get an ECG done and talk to a cardiologist. But I couldnt see one because of some financial issues, so I had to go home instead. Can someone please look at my ECG report and let me know if everything seems alright or if there's something wrong?

If you are experiencing severe chest pain due to GERD, you can try taking Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can take Antacid syrup like Gelusil after meals for immediate relief from acidity. Make sure to follow up with a cardiologist as advised by your doctor for further evaluation of your chest pain.

View allI'm having some concerns and would love your advice. My blood pressure is at 160100 and I'm also experiencing a fever. I used to have anxiety and was on etizolam beta .25, but I stopped taking it about a year ago. A year ago, all my tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and blood work were normal. Should I consider getting these tests done again, or do you think I should go back on the meds?
Given your high blood pressure (160100) and fever, along with a history of anxiety and discontinued medication (etizolam beta 0.25), it's essential to consult your doctor immediately; they may recommend repeating some tests, such as ECG, blood work, and possibly adding new ones like a chest X-ray or inflammatory marker tests to rule out underlying conditions;

I'm a bit worried about my current heart rate and blood pressure. Usually, my resting heart rate is between 70-80, and my BP is around 12585, but since this evening, my heart rate has jumped to 112-118, and my BP is at 14090. Up until a few days ago, everything was normal. I did smoke today after a long break and then checked my readings. Also, I've had a physiotherapy session with IFT for a cervical issue. Should I be concerned about these changes?
The increase in heart rate and blood pressure after smoking can be a concerning sign, especially if your readings were normal a few days back. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. To help lower your blood pressure, you can consider taking medications such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, to help regulate your heart rate, you can take Metoprolol 25mg twice daily. However, it is important to quit smoking as it can have detrimental effects on your cardiovascular health.

Is peanut butter good for high blood pressure?
Peanut butter has fiber and proteins which are healthy and few studies showed that it can reduce mean diastolic blood pressure. And as long as they don't contain hydrogenated fat, nut butters including peanut butter won't cause problems for your cholesterol levels too.
