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've been feeling really anxious ever since I lost my job last month. The anxiety seems to be affecting my heart rate too. It was usually under 90, but in the last 20 days, I've noticed it's been higher. I've recently managed to get my resting heart rate down to under 75 by starting brisk walking and taking an arjuna tablet once a day. However, I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side during my walks, and my heart rate shoots up to 130. I just did an ECG test because of this. Can you take a look at my ECG report and let me know what might be going on and the best way to handle it?
start doing exercises, drink plenty of water

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 65 and has both blood pressure and sugar issues. She recently had an ECG done, and the report mentions things like Normal sinus rhythm, longitudinal left axis deviation, possible old inferior MI, and some ST depression indicating mild anterolateral and high lateral myocardial ischemia with abnormal T waves. She's currently taking Sartel LN, Revolol XL 50, Plavix 75, Caat 40, Nikoran 5, Diamicron XR 60, and Ziten 20. Can you help me understand what all this means for her and if there's anything specific we should be worried about right now?
These medications are commonly used to manage conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, and potential ischemic events. It's important to follow the prescribed dosages and continue regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
