I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.

These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
