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 experiencing this sharp, pin-like pain in my chest and back. It was really bad in January, but now it's not as intense, just feels like pins. I had my ECG done and everything came back normal. Can you tell me what precautions I should take?

Given your symptoms of pin-like pain in the chest and back, and a normal ECG, consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out conditions like pericarditis, costochondritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); in the meantime, avoid heavy lifting, maintain a healthy weight, manage stress, and avoid triggers like spicy or fatty foods that can exacerbate symptoms.
