I'm 21 and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are a bit all over the place. It was 149 over 78 at one point, and then it changed to 109 over 70. My pulse rate also jumps around from 110 to 72. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's an issue or if this is normal for my age. Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.

Sometimes I get this feeling of tiredness and shortness of breath that usually lasts for a few days. I've been experiencing it on and off for the past couple of years, but there are no other symptoms accompanying it. Im a 34-year-old male, and Ive had my ECG, echo, and lipid profile checked, and everything came back normal. Could there still be a chance of a heart issue, and is there any other test I should consider?
There may still be a possibility of underlying cardiac issues. To further investigate, you can consider undergoing a stress test (TMT - Treadmill Test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity and detect any abnormalities that may not be present at rest. Additionally, a Holter monitor can be used to monitor your heart's activity over a 24-48 hour period to capture any irregularities that may not show up during a standard ECG. These tests can provide more insights into your cardiac health beyond the initial screening tests you have already done.

I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure is really low, and she's in a critical condition right now. Can you suggest some medicine that I can give her to help stabilize it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, can be a serious condition. It is important to seek medical help immediately if your wife is in a critical condition due to low blood pressure. In the meantime, you can give her oral rehydration solutions to help maintain her fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, you can consider using Fludrocortisone at a dosage of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise her blood pressure. However, please remember that these are temporary measures and she should still seek medical attention as soon as possible.
