I just got my ECG results back from a health check-up, and it's showing a Left Axis Deviation. I've never had any BP problems, and my blood pressure during the exam was 13080. What could be causing the Left Axis Deviation? Should I be worried about it?

I'm a bit worried about the possibility of blockages in my arteries. What tests should I consider if I want to know about blockages at all levels, even if they're just in the early stages? Could you explain what those tests involve and how accurate they are?

I'm worried because my blood pressure has been 14090 for the past 20 days, and I've started having mild chest pain. I've done all the heart-related tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be taking blood pressure medicine? My doctor hasn't prescribed anything for it yet, but I'm thinking maybe I should start at least for a few days. I weigh 110 kg, and my doctor only put me on cholesterol medication since my cholesterol is high. What do you think about starting bp medicine?

Your blood pressure reading of 14090 mmHg falls into the category of Stage 1 Hypertension according to most guidelines Since your heart-related tests (ECG, ECHO, TMT) are normal, and your doctor has not prescribed blood pressure (BP) medication, they may believe that your condition can initially be managed with lifestyle changes and monitoring. However, your weight (110 kg) and high cholesterol are additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and managing your blood pressure is crucial.

I'm having chest pain that's really concerning me. When I press the center of my chest with my finger, it hurts, and sometimes I feel pain on the left and right sides too, but other times there's no pain at all. Even when I cough, it's like the pain flares up in my chest. Lately, I've also been experiencing some back pain. I have had diabetes for the past 10 years and have been on Novamix 30 insulin. Could you suggest any medication or remedies for relief?
